SPRING LACE UPS

LET’S TALK TRENDS ONE AT A TIME…lace ups

It is hard to believe it is April and this frickin’ crappy weather isn’t helping the matter…we woke up to 15cm of snow Monday morning and this morning it was -13 degrees! I am so, so over it! I can dream of wearing pumps, open toe booties and sandals seem totally unattainable right now. I have been slathering on the self tanner, but I’m not sure if my legs will ever see the sun again.

Today we are talking about lace up shoes. This lace up trend is not going anywhere, think of it as the equivalent of skinny jeans. The lace ups really launched with the original Aquazzura ‘Christy’ lace up flat, totally sold out last year. I think we are all looking for comfy chic flats and these fit the bill, something about wearing a lace up makes you feel sexy and sophisticated. This is a trend worth investing in because it will soon be a classic piece that will not be out next season. Here are a few of my fav’s:

1. Ponyskin Lace Up Sandals, Saint Laurant  $1,176
2. Suze Sandal, Loeffler Randall  $387
3. Eryn Heeled Sandal, Banana Republic  $148
4. Sofia Galdiator Sandal, Michael Kors  $296
5. Marilyn Lace Up Heel, Aldo  $95
6. Christy, Aquazzura  $1,504

Who is going out shopping to nab some lace ups?
