<\/p>\nSpring and summer footwear calls for two things: some sassy sandals and some super sexy wedges. Whether you call them espadrilles or wedges ( I prefer wedges just cause espadrilles is such a PIA to pronounce) what’s best about them is you get all the height without looking overdone. I mean, what else are you going to wear all those flirty skirts, teenie shorts and summer dresses with? They elongate your legs and make your feet look smaller too. Trust me, this is totally my favorite part about super tall shoes. Other than them being super sexy and adding some much-needed height that is.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When it comes to wedges I say, the higher the better. The wedge makes them comfortable to walk in so even those who aren’t pros at walking in heels can pull them off. And without the torture to your feet too.<\/p>\n
That being said, I’m not sure why but I can be really particularly about my wedges. Unless they’re sky-high I kinda feel like they look like shoes from Bakers. Or Payless. Yuck. Here’s a few of my faves:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This black Ash wedge from Shopbop.com is a good casual sandal. $208.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I saw these in Barbie hot pink and though I liked them, I couldn’t bring myself to post something so Barbie-ish. But this gold shade is absolutely darling. $640. Saks Fifth Avenue. Oh, and they come in black too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
