Trend Files #027 | Sandal Spy – Checking Out This Season’s Hottest Trends.
Ok, so last summer the internet & street went crazy over the gladiator sandal. Which (believe it or not) is back on the scene on a more subtle note. Nothing too extravagant….with the exception of a few studded pieces here and there. I think that I will create another post later this week sometime trekking back on last seasons trend. But for the moment…let’s focus on what’s kicking up buzz-worthy talk for the spring & summer of 2009. If you have been keeping watch (like I have), you would know that this spring & summer follows suit like every season. Thus, leaving us on a eagle-like “woman- hunt” for the best selection of trendy sandals. Ruffles & pleated front sandals & pumps have been marking strict territory lines throughout the city streets. Lately, trend spotters are BEJEWELED by the shiny rhinestone / crystal combinations remixed into sleek simply strapped sandals. So far, Old Navy (believe it or not) has really been tapping into a cool collection of summer footwear – simply PERFECT for us budget shoppers. And high end designers have been really capturing my attention with their collection of cool jelly sandals – which might need further investigation in person. Either way, it’s about that time ladies to break out the nail enamel….and get our toes ready to for the up coming summer months. Check out the stats after the jump!

tee you read my mind. now jellies are my thing for the simple fact that they look totally cute with jeans. but the after effects are crazy when you get lines and burn marks from the sun on your feet.
