Spring 2012 Runway Style Trends: Our Most Wanted List of Shoes
Are you as shoe-obsessed as me? Then you'll be no doubt be rejoicing that the footwear forecast for Spring 2012 looks good...very good indeed. As in flouncy, feminine and oh-so fabulous! Although high, higher & towering heels ruled (I dare you to navigate the NYC subway system in the Versace plastic stripper heels without incident), Valentino did show a super-cute lacy flat that looks really right with a longer-length hem. Tigers were on the prowl at Balenciaga and Prada's sleek slingbacks sprouted fiery wings for a fashionista about to take flight. Louis Vuitton & Chanel both went retro, with pastels at LV that were actually (gasp) traditionally pretty, while Kaiser Karl opted to have us go back to the future in 60s silver Space Age booties. I especially fell in love the thick-strap platforms from Celine (actually everything Celine has been on the must-have list since Phoebe Philo took over), while shades of teal, sapphire and deepsea-blue seemed fresh and refreshing at both Missoni and New York's current "it" designer Alexander Wang.
Ogling the catwalk collections and checking out the kicks stalking the runways always makes me want to go shopping - stat! - so one of my go-to places for blowing off steam without blowing my entire budget is Wanted Shoes. Their women's shoes are fun and colorful and they have a fab selection of on-trend interpretations of my fave runway looks without runway-related pricey-ness. I currently can't decide between the cobalt-blue "Cadil", the black wedge "Frankie", a pair of zebra Popstar2 pumps, or some lacy black crochet-upper "Fine" flats...or maybe one of each. Probably one of each.
