I’ve done the work, so you ladies don’t have to. I’ve picked my top 10 favourite shoes for spring, drawing from the most current trends and modern classics. You’ve got the patent leather slingbacks, with zebra stripes no less, by Celine, and the fantastic patent wedges with crisscross straps by Kors by Michael Kors. Check out the Miu Miu metallic gladiator sandals, the perfect mix of the gladiator/boho, and the nude leather effect wedges, which highlight the natural wood style. I’ve thrown in some asymmetric peep toe pumps in blue patent, inspired by the 80s by Chloe (love them) and some red leather Miu Miu red leather sandals with the cross over ankle strap. And, for the sporty set and casual Fridays, there is the Asics Norico, the newest addition to the Onitsuka Tiger women’s collection. Also, I’ve thrown in a pair of Ultimate Tigers, a perfect blend of function and fashion. Lastly, there is the Puma Lo Rainbow Flava neon sneak, and the motorsport inspired Puma Espera. Get shopping. Pics all after the jump.

Brown in the new black where sunglasses are concerned. The oversized frames are still hot, but instead of coming in bold black with black lenses, this time around tortoiseshell or chocolate brown is hot. The lenses are brown too, giving the overall effect a warmer, friendlier, more transparent look. Oliver Peoples Ilsa sunglasses (above) make use of the tortoise with graduated lenses and thing arms. Check out Chloe’s Nyssa sunglasses in chocolate brown after the jump.

The belt is still bold and beautiful as an outfit centrepiece. Ideally,
vibrant, strong colours are cool. Hot details like unique clasps,
patent and logos make all the difference from boring belt to can’t live
without item. Designer Chloe is making use of patents and strong
colours like purple (above). Check out the pics after the jump for hot
colours and style from Mui Mui (the turquoise belt), and Fendi.
