Pattern Among Pattern Among Pattern...

A trend for this Spring deals with wearing pattern on pattern. Doesn't matter what print you are wearing with whatever pattern. For example, this Spring you will be able to wear stripes with florals. So why not incorporate that within footwear? Exactly what I was thinking! Here are some new shoes offered in radical prints!
Here are some Moroccan, geometric printed kicks by Keds! They are sold for about $60 and can be found at any Ked retailer like Nordstrom or even Macy's!




Here are some other fun flats that can eb worn dressed up or even dressed down. They are simple, but include a crazy print. They are Bandolino flats that can be purchased for $59 at Zappos.com
OHHH!! Now we got some gladiator sandals that have passed through the stage of being a fad and have become a long lasting trend. The even better part about these ones is they are patterned and only $48. This would be a great cost per wear item since they can be worn at least through fall in warm weather states and will most likely be able to be brought back out next Spring 2012!



AND now here are florals!!! My Favorite and the other reason they could be your favorite is they are only $16 at Wet Seal!!

Now that I have given you examples of footwear in every form in different patterns and exactly where you can get them, you better buy some! Either find some more based off the examples I have given or take the easy way out. Hope you enjoy, and keep on patterning!

New Spring Collabs !

April is full of surprises and wonderful showers of love! and by this i mean.. designers are collaborating with others to complete their lines with more products and for new target markets. 

One that I am particularly happy about it Alice and Olivia's Collaboration for the amazing online shopping website Shopbop. It seems as if Alice + Olivia has finally found its home after a long and tired journey. The brand based out of New York City and whose designer is Stacey Bendet..

has partnered up with Shopbop with a footwear collection for spring 2011. They also made a a short film to illustrate what the collection will be all about. The short film features pretty models playing around in a fantasy land with decadent deserts and candy. 


Here is the video for all of you to drool over :)

The two most popular styles are the Juliet wedge in black, white and leopard and the Dahlia sequin flat in black, silver and gold. The styles, are priced at a mediocre price of $195 for the flats and $245 for the wedge and re exclusively sold at Shopbop.com. 

They had previously partnered with Payless Shoe Source with a line of shoes, but it is very apparent that this collaboration is much more fitting for the brand and the target market.

The next collaboration, is both shocking and super exciting.. Paige from Paige Premium Denim and Terry de Havilland have decided to launch and exclusive shoe collection for spring 2011. The two designers are both experts and innovators in the fashion world.The collection is very small but they consist of four must have shoes! Here is a little sneak peak.. 

hope you enjoy these new and exciting collections. CDJ :)
