Spring 2009 Must-Have Shoe Styles

It's always a good sign to start each year with vivid and glowing hues that definitely exudes joyfulness and confidence. Despite the economic crunch happening globally, seeing multi-hued and floral patterns everywhere is a definite welcome to the gloomy and ominous mood most people are sporting nowadays.

The holidays are over and everyone should welcome the spring season with bright and lively hues to truly enjoy this time of the year when everything should have a new beginning.

This spring, go for floral patterned wedges and mocassin flats that will absolutely go well with any wardrobe. Finally, gladiotor-style espadrilles and platform sandals will definitely mix and match with ensembles in an assortment of colors that will bring out the brightness of trendy and fashionable women's shoes.


Floral Patterned Wedges


GUESS Women's Doranna Sandal $43.97
For a dressed up casual look, choose the Doranna sandal from Guess. This pretty slingback wedge has a print canvas upper with leather trim and an elasticized slingback strap. Perfect with capris and city shorts, it blends the casual attitude of a sneaker with the femininity and height advantage of a tall wedge heel.

Betsey Johnsons Women's Foster Sandal $77.78
The Foster sandal from Betsy Johnson is a cute, feminine slingback with an ample, creatively designed heel. An attractive bow at the back of the ankle hides the elastic band that provides a snug fit, while the floral upper and sole make this a great choice for any summer wedding or warm-weather cocktail party on the lanai. Sassy enough for a hot night on the town, but demure enough for an elegant soiree, the Foster sandal is an excellent addition to your spring and summer wardrobe.

Michelle Obama's inaugural ball shoes

President Barack Obama arrived with his wife Michelle Obama at the Mid-Atlantic Inaugural Ball at the Washington Convention Center on January 20, 2009 in Washington, DC. Michelle's ball gown was a custom-made, flowing ivory silk chiffon that was embroidered with silver thread and adorned with Swarovski crystal rhinestones. With just a single strap on one side it left the other shoulder bare: we all loved it.

But what about her shoes? The're perfect! Medium-sized heel, open toe, very elegant. We'd want those, too, to dance the night away.

These are the open-toe two-piece d'orsay we'd buy for ourselves, obviously all under $100:
