2010 Trend: Gucci Sandals
| One of the most long awaited collections of the season to come is a new collection from Gucci. The brand always surprises its fans by unusual and charming designer decisions. Today I have prepared some of the shoe models presented in the collection. Most of them are really worth praising. Here you are. |
 |
| This sandal features a criss-cross strap that girdles an ankle very elegantly. Python patterned straps are generously adorned with stones that add a spice to the whole image. The heel and the platform are made of bamboo. A mixture of python pattern, bamboo and stones make me think of hot and bright summer days. Not a single shoe collection today seems not to be able to do without gladiator shoes. These gladiator sandals are just one version of the trend. What is unusual here is a zipper on the front part and a high stiletto heel that changes the whole concept of a gladiator shoe. The shoe is made in black color. |
 |
| Another strappy sandal presented in the collection is made in python hue pattern style with a T shaped strap on the front. Designers added a buckle on the ankle part a nickel ring. |
 |
| There is one more shoe made of bamboo I like very much. It is a sandal with a four inch heel made in python pattern style as well. |
 |
| But Gucci designers did not forget about women on the go who prefer comfortable flats. You can see a thong sandal with a usual nickel ring and T shaped strap. The shoe is available in two colors – taupe and light brown leather. The sandals are perfect for a casual and relaxed holiday. |
 |
| And the last offer is a super high stiletto heel in blue color. It is an awesome dress shoe for any special event. |

Massive Shoes from Proenza Schouler
| Proenza Schouler brand is known for its extravagant style and extraordinary shapes. Each designer decision causes a wave of arguments. Due to Proenza Schouler shoes’ peculiarity, lots of women do not dare even try them. However, there are multiple fans of the brand who may appreciate work of the designers. Recently Proenza Schouler presented a new shoe collection that features massive heels and soles, brutal look and stylish design. I would say, the collection is aimed to the boldest fashion lovers. |
  |
| When I look at these shoes, I tend to think about something wild and savage. My imagination pictures that it is quite possible that primitive men used to wear shoes made of animals’ leather. However, they did not have such modern technologies as modern people have, so my imagination seems to trick me. Today, savage motives have become one of the most popular trends of the season to come. And Proenza Schouler designers decided not to miss the opportunity and use it in their new shoe collection. |
  |
| The variety of materials the shoes are made of impresses. Designers used different combinations of materials – smooth leather of natural tones, pattern reptile leather painted in diverse colors, or even patent-leather shoes. Designers add buckles and rivets for special chic. There are some shoe models with leather straps thoroughly wickered. Such footwear looks super extravagant and unusual. |
  |
| Heels and soles here are also worth mentioning. Heels are wide and massive with a curved shape. Platforms are high and in some shoes are trimmed with suede or other fabric of the same color as the whole shoe surface is covered. As a result, the shoes look great. They are the right choice for bold and decisive girls who love to stand out of the crowd. The problem is what to wear with such a shoe? |
5 Tips on How to Buy Comfortable Shoes
| When we are looking for a new pair of shoes what do we tend to pay attention to first? We look at a beautiful design, high heel or platform (it depends on everybody’s taste), color, design, shoe accessories, and so on and so forth. I do really understand you. But there is another side of a coin – good quality. Being in pursuit of awesome design and latest trends, do not buy anything without making sure in its comfort and good quality. Choose shoes that suit not only length and width of your foot but also its final purpose and your whole image. |
 |
| The most dangerous thing here is that when shoe size is selected incorrectly it will not only cause discomfort but may lead to feet injuries. The question is why should I buy shoes that will make me suffer? So, here I have some tips on how to choose the right footwear. |
 |
| 1. Measure your feet properly. It is essential to measure each foot separately, as they may differ a little bit. I would advise to try new footwear in the afternoon or evening when feet become a little bigger. Besides, do not rely on the size indicated on a shoe, always try it on and try to walk in it.
2. Try to buy footwear of good brands. The thing is quality shoes have shock absorbers created by proper insole cushioning that prevent feet from sharp surface and bumps. Cheap shoes do not have such a useful detail. 3. Shoe materials are also important. Footwear made of leather or suede is more comfortable flexible. The reason is these sorts of material can adjust to the shape of a foot protecting it thus from excessive resistance in sensitive areas. 4. The eternal problem of high heels. You should decide what goes first for you - health or beauty. 5. And at last I want to mention trendy shoes. Do not buy too specific models that you will not be able to wear later because they will become outdated. That is not a reasonable purchase. |

Spring 2010 Shoes: Print vs Flowers
| The spring 2010 is already coming. If you are not ready yet it is high time to make the last arrangements: to buy a new trendy outfit and, of course, a new pair of shoes to match it. We have already reviewed a huge number of offering from world known designers such as Christian Dior, Jimmy Choo, Prada, Roksanda Ilincic, and many many others. Summing up all seen and heard I can say that the two main trends of the season to come are prints and flowers. So what to choose this spring and what to wear it with? Let’s try to dot the i’s and cross the t’s. |
 |
| Nobody would argue that printed shoes look sexy and stylish. At the same time they are very difficult to match them properly with an outfit. According to fashion critics, the most confusing thing about it is that printed clothing is expected to be the best and the most popular trend for spring 2010. So how printed shoes can be paired with it? Well, in my opinion, if you really like printed shoes you may wear them with some pastel, black or neutral colored clothing. Just like Rihanna did in the picture above. They eye catching look makes me believe that there is nothing more sexy than a print. |
 |
| And now the opponent of printed shoes, heels adorned with flowers. Well, the flower trend is not new. The thing is when spring is coming, you tend to thing about green leaves, grass and, of course, about flowers. That is why many designers fulfilled their thoughts into shoe style. The main thing here is to be careful with color. Brown and neutral colored flowers do not look charming, but excessive and gloomy. We can see it in the picture. Try something more vivid and bright. And good luck! |
