Everything neon, albeit in small doses,  is extremely chic for summer 2009. Don’t just take my word for it — the spring 2009 runways were rife with neon solids and prints,  from Louis Vuitton to Lacoste and Max Mara. It’s  high time you participated in the trend too, but let’s not go overboard. The perfect way to spruce up your wardrobe would be with a bit of neon accessories in the form of footwear. I’ve picked some hot summer styles to help you get the neon look without going too 90s neon:

March begins a maddening time for most 20 something males. While some ladies also like to join the ranks, it’s definitely something most men look forward to. Forget the springtime weather, they just crave those men in shorts!

I figured since this March Madness is attacking me from all corners of the world, I would feature a post that put a twist on the crazy times. Forget the basketball net, forget the colleges (although might I say, “Go Pitt”) and forget the brackets. Here are a few select pairs of shoes that remind us that March Madness can also refer to maddening and amazing footwear!

Emulating the orange basketball, I thought it’d be fun to feature orange shoes. Orange is not only a great color to bring out in the spring and summer, it’s a color that goes unchosen for much of the time. Not anymore! Our March Madness means “Orange Madness”.

Gladiator sandals + orange = perfection! These Enzo Angiolini Tells Gladiators are spunky, bright and fun (just what you want in a sandal). They would finish off a jean skirt or a pair of bermudas perfectly on your upcoming vacation.

If you are going to be watching the games court side, then you’re going to have to have the appropriate footwear to accompany you. Try these Nicole Agnes Moccasins. They are a patent leather orange flat that are as comfortable as they appear to be collegiate prep!

Making that basketball jersey all your on requires style, flair and a great pair of shoes. These Guess? Carrie Orange Stilettos would make that jersey feminine, chic and certainly stand out from the crowd.

Wedding season is approaching.  Which means if you are lucky enough to be the blushing bride, you are on a mad hunt for all sorts of odds and ends to complete the wedding of your dreams.  This includes the perfect shoes, to of course match the already perfect gown.

Maybe your ideal wedding gown hit you right away, maybe it took some time, or maybe you had to create the masterpiece yourself.  Either way, it isn’t complete without the shoes to match.  Luckily, we are here to rescue you from more bridezilla nightmares.  Check out the selections (for each type of bride) from Heels.com that we thought might work as the finishing touches to your wedding day ensemble.

Classic bride - This stunning pair of open-toed Chinese Laundry Willy Heel in ivory.  The satin stilettos add a little shimmer and shine, but leave you with a very clean and classy finish.

Princess bride – It is after all your day.  Why not be fitted like a princess?  Try these Enzo Angiolini Minerva Heels.  Silver satin and a pretty crystal embellishment make you feel like the belle at the ball (or wedding!).

Beach baby bride - Opting for that destination wedding?  Heels are going to get stuck in a sand trap on your way down to the alter.  Opt for a beautiful sandal instead.  Like these Jaci Sandals by Report.  White leather is accented by silver metal decor, leaving you with an islandy feel, but pretty as can be.

Youthful cute bride – Feeling cutesy on your special day?  Bows are certainly a part of the cuter and younger wedding appeal.  The Guess? Kierna Heel is a white leather peep toe that is finished off with a delicate bow.  Leaving you feeling perfect, pure and pretty.

Laidback bride – If you are looking to go less fancy on your wedding day, than chances are you’re going to skip the satin 4 inch heel.  Opt for a ballerina flat.  You can still achieve a pretty look, but with less foot pain and more enjoyment.  This Hollywould Sophia Flat is a white leather flat, with a white ankle strap.  However beware, flats mean more dancing!

Trend setter bride – Who needs the classics?  Dare to be different with a more unusual and unlikely wedding shoe!  Like this Goldy Heel by L.A.M.B.  White patent leather and caged detailing lets out a fierce statement for bride fashionistas everywhere.
