SPRING/SUMMER

Pink is popping up all over footwear for spring ’09. The shade runs the gamut from light to dark, pastel to fuchsia on a range of silhouettes including high-heeled sandals and wedges. No matter what the outfit, she’ll feel confident and feminine in these sultry but feminine styles.

Peony by Bourne

Price:

Retails for $220

The spring/summer ’09 collection from UK brand Bourne embraces the glamour and individuality of the brand with three new collections; City Chic, Sultry Summer and Modern Romance. Part of the Modern Romance signature occasion wear line, Peony is a beautifully presented platform peep-toe in stone snake with Swarovski crystal detail.

Rosa by Jinny Kim

Price:

Retails for $250 to $350

Part of the Sparkling Shoes line for spring ’09, Rosa pairs pastel pink silk with delicate crystals to create the perfect summer sandal. Korean designer Jinny Kim recommends wearing the sandal “during the daytime with a one-piece or mini skirt for a lovely look, or at night as glamorous partywear. It is indeed a must-have item for summer.”

Jane by Giorgia Galassi

Price:

Retails for $180

Italian designer Giorgia Galassi uses her favorite color for Jane, a suede sandal that ties around the ankle. “[Pink] is the best color for making the high-heel platform cool and not too serious,” she says. “I love the simple lines on a sandal that does not cover a lot of the toes. I also like the idea of a softer back to knot around the ankle.”

Heartbreak Hotel by Miss L Fire

Price:

Retails for $175

Made of glazed goatskin with a Lucite trim, this round-toed silhouette offers customers a little something extra. “The styles we have on this wedge are interactive,” says UK-based Miss L Fire designer Lynsey Hand. “All trims are removable so that you can wear the styles as a plain pump, or dress them up with the trim. We figure that in times when our customers have to watch what they are spending, if we can give them two looks for the price of one, then all the better!”

Mermaid by Irregular Choice

Price:

Retails for $150

She’ll surely create a splash when she wears Mermaid by Irregular Choice. This pastel pink Mary Jane can go from daytime picnic to evening cocktails making her a part of any world. The sleek silhouette and open toe are as breezy as the season, plus a floral-printed sole blossoms in bright hues.
