While some may argue that the official shoe of Summer is either the flip flop or the sandal, I have to offer a rebuttal and go with the espadrille. What screams warm sun, cool breezes and a fabulous pedicure, more than those wedged rope heels.

You can get open toed espadrilles or close toed. You can get a heel with only an inch or two, or ones with three or more. There are slingback espadrilles and ankle strapped espadrilles. There is a whole world of espadrilles out there, just waiting for you to discover it!

Luckily I have brought it forth to you and made it easier for you to realize how absolutely perfect the espadrille is to have during the Summer season. They look like perfection with denim skirts, capris and shorts. The rope heel gives a vintage and rustic look when aside denim. This allows you to wear a comfortable and cool look all through Summer.

How sweet are these Mia Rose Wedge Espadrilles? Matched up with a short denim skirt and you have a cute farmer girl meets LA diva look going on.

Or pair these Hollywould Callie Wedge Espadrilles up with a wide leg pair of denim jeans. You can still appear elegant with the gold tone, but casual with the smaller wedge and slip-on appeal.

If you already know how great the espadrille is, then I say “whoo-hoo” to you, but for all of those out there that were either clueless or hesitant to make the commitment with an espadrille. Now is your time. Summer is only a few weeks away, so start scoping out your espadrille options now. FYI: Heels.com features pages of the riveting rope wonders!

While I personally believe white can be worn all year long, now is the time when most people feel comfortable wearing white shoes. White shoes look great when worn with a nautical outfit, as part of an ethereal ensemble or when going casual with a pair of boyfriend jeans. Here are my favorite pairs of white shoes available now at Heels.com.

These Rocawear peeptoe pumps look great with blue capri pants and a red and white striped boat neck tee.

If you’re looking for something to go with a romantic evening outfit, these D’orsay peeptoes from Hollywould are perfect. Plus, they’re on sale right now. Pair them with a flowing skirt for a sexy, flirtatious look. 

These Cynthia Vincent flats are what you need for your casual days. Wear them with your boyfriend jeans, a white blazer and a bright red hobo shoulder bag. 

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.
