With the new season ringing in, it’s time to update your wardrobe and add some fabulous footwear to your collection. I for one, am over the moon with all these fabulous styles, and with such a diverse selection of fab footwear, there is no reason why you shouldn’t stock up on a few pairs of scrumptious shoes.
From gladiator flats, to sexy, strappy sandals, to wedges, metallics, bright and multi coloured shoes, the trends this season incorporate a bit of everything to suit a wide array of tastes. So, grab your credit card and enjoy a day of shoe shopping with your gal-pals, with this low down on Spring 2008 shoe trends.
Gladiator Goddess
The absolute must have trend for this season has got to be the Gladiator. Gladiator flats and Gladiator heels are a huge hit this season. Choose from embellished sandals or simple, straps in sexy metallic shades. Go high or go flat, but make sure you go Gladiator.

Be Patent
Bright patent pumps are key this season. Yellow seems to be a prominent colour and (trust me) a pair of patent yellow heels look super stunning with light blue jeans and a white shirt or black shirt. Yellow and brown also look fab together, so pair yellow heels with a gorgeous brown-woven belt. And speaking of belts and hoes, who said your belt has to match your shoes? Are we in school, where we all look like a bunch of clothing clones?
Have fun with fashion, and IMO, as long as the colours fit and compliment each other, to hell with grandmas’ golden rule about matching belts, bags and shoes. As the saying goes, “if the shoe fits” buy it!

The brighter the shoe the better – even mulit coloured shoes are making a splash this season.

The great thing about multi colored shoes is that you can wear them with just about anything. Jeans are always my number one choice – Just remember, when choosing an outfit, find one that picks up the colours of your shoes somewhere. If you’re going for simple white shirt with jeans, add a patent pink bangle (for the Jewellite) or have fun with your accessories.
Heavy Metal
Metallics are hotter than ever. They can snazz up any outfit and go with just about any and everything imaginable. Plus, metallic shoes add that extra bit of sparkle.

Over the Wedge
Comfy and stylish – wedges are another must have shoe this season
