It’s funny how each season it seems like there are a few items that I see everywhere. In retailers’ catalogs. On my fellow bloggers. All around me walking around the city. It can’t be coincidence, can it? There must be something wonderful about these items to see them again and again.
In this post, I’m examining some of the cute pairs of Spring and Summer shoes I’m seeing all over…
Take Dolce Vita’s Effie Sandals ($122-$150) for instance. I feel like I’m seeing these cute heeled sandals everywhere. They come in three colors: a nearly-white land brown called sand, a medium brown and a darker brown. I haven’t seen them look any way but cute yet, no matter whether they are paired with jeans, crops, a skirt or shorts. If you wear heels you’ll find these quite comfortable — I don’t even need arch support with them. They run true to size.
Here are some of my favorite stylings of them. Click the caption below the photo to visit these sites and get the full outfit details.
At 5’8″, I don’t need to use my shoes for extra height, but I do find wedges to be ultra comfortable. The
Jeffrey Campbell Rayos-Hi Wedge ($145, also available
here) is one of two incredibly similar wedges the brand offers; there is also a higher heel version called the
Rodillio (also available
here). The difference? In general, the Rayos is much easier to wear and doesn’t bunch up around the ankle as often as the higher-pitch Rodillo.
Below are some beautiful bloggie friends wearing the Rayos, and one rocking the Rodillo. Click the caption below the image to get their full outfit details — and follow them for outfit inspiration!
These wedges have a fun bohemian style that works very well with either preppy outfits or soft, flirty feminine looks. I love all the proportion play these ladies show off!

The cutest sandal for Summer might be
Sam Edelman’s Henna Slide ($63-$90), which comes in both a flat version and taller mule called the
Yumi. After these lovely blogger photos (click the caption below the photo to see the original photos for full outfit details!) I’ll share secret about the Henna and how to get it for much less.
Here are a few of my other favorite omni-present shoes:
2 | The
Marc Fisher Adalyne ($170, also available
here) — a dupe of a designer wedge from Chloe, for about 1/3 the price. The blush is my favorite color!
3 | Converse’s
Jack Purcell LP ($30-$96, also
here) — comfy, perfect low sneakers for those days when your feet need to be covered but you don’t want to wear heavy shoes. You barely even need the laces on these!
