Nothing gets you in the mood for spring quite like a pair of bold ‘n’ beautiful yellow shoes. Whether its flats, pumps or strappy sandals, the following styles are sure to put a spring in your step (and further confirm that my puns are terrible!)
Best Yellow Flat:
What’s not to love about the Sweet Caroline by Chinese Laundry, a barely-there ballerina flat which features a yellow PVC upper that includes exposed side panels and a closed toe accented with an oversized velvet ribbon bow. And the best part? These shoes are available for under $40! Read more »

If you’ve been summoned to serve as a bridesmaid this spring or summer, it may be time to upgrade your shoes. You don’t want shoes that you can only wear to this wedding, especially because you may be a bridesmaid in other weddings and in some cases, can utilize the same pair of shoes. Here are our picks for universal bridesmaid shoes that you’ll get plenty of mileage out of. Read more »

Sherbert shades are it for spring and summer. Pastel shades have been on the back burner for quite some time, but for spring and summer 2011, they’re back and rightfully so. What’s so different about sherbert shoes this time around is they’re being paired with more upscale and grownup pieces then we’ve seen them with in the past. Think structured, smart separates and dresses that will elevate the style level of girlish shades like lavender and cotton candy pink.
Pink Lady
The Gap City Flat in pale pink is an affordable winner for spring 2011. The budget-friendly shoe is perfect for the weekend and for some, can go to the office as well. With a super girlie shoe like these, you want to keep the rest of your outfit sleek and chic. There’s no rule saying you can’t wear these pale pink Gap flats with floral prints, but remember you don’t want to look like a child who’s discovering color for the first time. Instead, pair pale pink with shades of gray, navy, grass and army green for a more sophisticated spin on the color. The pink Gap City Flats would work well with a shrunken navy blazer and sharp trousers.
Orange You Glad?
A stunning coral shade like these Melissa Shoes aren’t just brilliant for jumping on the sherbert-colored shoe trend. They’re also a great pick because they implement texture the way few spring and summer shoes can. Constructed of raffia, the shoes mimic the look of coral in the ocean. It’s a fun weekend shoe that will work with high waist full skirts, vintage dresses and ankle-skimming pants and a structured blouse. These shoes are unique, but look great contrasting city pieces and can also go on vacation with loose maxi dresses and capri pants. Read more »

Shoes for the outdoors are rugged, but that doesn’t mean you can’t toss them into some dressier situations. Some people call the style “Americana,” others talk about heritage collections, but all we know is that we are taking oh-so-comfortable, practical shoes, and making them hot.
Sorel-Soled Boots
These boots grip the ground like nobody’s business, and they are incredibly comfortable. Some people find these boots intimidating because they have a chunky sole and a crunchy-style upper. With slim-fit pants, these Sorel boots are the best thing you will find to fight the winter weather. For Northeasterners, they are indispensable, even for the extra-fashionable set.
J. Crew’s Flat Suede Boots
J. Crew is one of those labels that you don’t necessarily go shop on purpose, but when you end up there after clicking around, you can’t stop grabbing things you like—and love. Their flat suede boots this season look like they can handle the snow, but they are completely fashionable. We’d weatherproof them, sure, but we find the shape and style irresistible. Read more »

The verdict is in! Pantone, the folks who dictate what colors are in or out each year, have predicted that honeysuckle will be the color for 2011. Maybe you’ve never heard of this hue. It’s a lush pink shade that’s not as saturated or bright as coral, but definitely more interesting and versatile than plain ol’ pink. Honeysuckle can be done in many shades, which is why it’s a fabulous color for 2011. You can style it many ways and wear it for almost any occasion.
We’re always a fan of statement shoes here at myShoes.com and honeysuckle is the perfect hue to do that with for the new year. The delicate details like bows and ribbons that are going to be strong trends for the SS 2011 season will match up perfectly with the color of the year. Read more »

December is almost here, lovelies! We’re trying to bundle up since things are bound to get icier, and that means we want to keep our feet from being chilly. How about these suggestions to get the gears turning?
Sweater-Lined Boots: These boots are so warm and comfortable, and they can be lined in wool, cashmere knit, or a lightweight cotton sweater-type sock. Sweater-lined boots are lovely when the interior is bright enough to lend a shock of color to even the most basic of outfits. Think black leggings are too plain? Wear a pair of boots with a turquoise lining or a plaid interior and a fold-down cuff, and you’ll be jolly all December.
Sheepskin Boots with Foldover Cuffs: Foldover boots lend a unique silhouette to tighter winter clothes, and they are just perfect for this time of year when paired with thick socks in a cool color. If sheepskin isn’t for you, then you can wear a pair of boots that flaunt faux sheepskin instead. Get a pair of boots with buckles along the uppers, too!
