Spring Sandals

Being fashionably in this season doesn't mean you have to go broke. In my quest to find amazing spring sandals I discovered that I can still get those amazing spring looks for less.
For college students or those just on a budget- it is still possible to look a million bucks this spring. Here are a few of my favorites for under $50.
Spring Sandals
Color-block
Sure color-blocking has taken the world by storm in the clothes we wear but in our shoes too? Yes, color-locking is going to be a popular trend this season. Whether you're wearing sandals or wedges, this season expect to see color-blocking everywhere from the office to the beach. The color-block wedges above add a perfect pop of spring colors to any outfit and are only $50 from heels.com.

Detailed Sandals
Simple sandals are a thing of the past. You better get rid of those flip flops. You can now accessorize with what you wear on your feet. Check out these cream tasseled sandals from H&M. They can take a pair of jeans and t-shirt to a whole new level. Did I mention they are affordable- only $15.

Patterned Sandal Wedges
Patterned wedges were big in the fall. Why wouldn't they be big in the spring? This trend will continue to be popular this spring. From Aztec designs to polka dots, I imagine everyone will be owning at least one pair of patterned sandals wedges this spring. These funky stripes and floral designed wedges above are from ModCloth.com and won't break the bank. Only $40.

The Infamous Platform
The 70's are back and they are better than ever. This season expect to see the revival of the platform-in funky colors too. Wear them with short shorts, a maxi or fun dress and you will be sure to turn heads. In a good way. These bright pink platforms from H&M are funky and perfect for this spring. Get them in stores for only $25.

Studded Sandals
On your clothes, on your purses and for jewelry. Why not on your shoes too? This look can make any look edgy. Similar looks can go for near a hundred dollars. No worries though. H&M has you covered again with their studded sandals costing only $15.

Bright Colors
Sure pastels are great but bright colors are here to stay. Say yes to bold hues, primary colors and neons this spring. Check out Steve Maddens Turquoise Sandals above. At only $50 dollars these shoes are sexy and fun. Pair them with some skinny jeans and a light sweater for casual spring look.

Jelly-Revival
Jellies are so ten years ago right?- wrong. While I loved this trend then, I love it even more now. Sandals or wedges the jelly look will be worn everywhere this season. Looking to dress up a look or keep it casual- this shoe is right for you. These Jelly sandals from River Island can be found at asos.com for only $32. The bling makes them even better!

Pop of Pastel- OOTD

I am pleased to say my search for dusty pink colored pants has come to an end. While I would like to have a pair of colored pink jeans, these pink ankle pants will do and can be dressed both up or down.
Today, I have paired them with a striped top, blazer and my Charles Jourdan heels 
for my take on a comfy, chic work look.
If you didn't notice, I have also updated my hair color. I get very bored with my hair so you will notice the progressive changes between darker and lighter brown shades. I am thinking of going back darker for the summer though? What do you think?

For the Love of Fringe OOTD


In an effort to try to keep things simple, I kept colors and patterns minimal today.
Instead, I dressed in all black and added a splash of color by adding my red fringe necklace from Baublebar. I thought the look was polished but funky all in the same.
Until next time-XOXO
