Sperry Topsiders have been around for some time now and worn predominantly by men. Paul Sperry invented the first boat shoe for sailors in 1935, creating the wave-like grooves in the sole to help maintain traction on slippery surfaces.
Who would have thought many decades later that it would become a big hit with the young lads and dames today. This American preppy look is a big trend in the East Coast and it’s slowly catching on in the West.
You can find their classic ladies “Angelfish” loafer at select Sterling Shoe locations as well as on-line at www.zappos.com
On the boat or not, these Sperry’s are timeless, classic and most importantly, comfortable.

Get your mind out of the gutter. I’m talking about shoes! A key footwear trend for spring/summer 2010 is the wedge. I’m not saying stash away your stilettos, but if you want to stay current, a wedge silhouette is a must have this season.
Some women think the wedge is not sexy, however wedge designs have come a long way. I recently purchased a simple black snake skin peep-toe wedge by House of Harlow 1960. The “banana” curve makes for a sexy line and to be honest, wedges are simply easier to strut in.
House of Harlow 1960 can be found at Freedman Shoes, $249.95

One trend you need to keep your eyes open for this spring/summer 2010 are interesting cut-outs. Cut-outs in your ensemble add a subtle sexiness to your look, covering just enough and leaving the rest to your imagination.
You’ll see this trend being used in all fashionable items, from dresses to shirts to leggings and shoes. Since I am a shoe-gal, I have to talk about the latest addition to my shoe closet that best represents this trend.
My Luxury Rebel Kyra Open Toe Bootie. The laser cut etching in this soft leather upper displays a striking geometric pattern. Add the splatter of studs and double metallic gold platform, I say you got yourself a perfect high-style shoe.
She’s smokin’ hot and can be found at Holt Renfrew.
