- Sandals that are embedded with rhinestones, crystals, or brass are among the hottest footwear trends this spring. Glam up your shoe collection this season!
- Extreme heels, scary stilettos, platforms, and wedges that look like small buildings on your feet are being offered by everyone from Ferragamo to Nine West to Donald J Pliner. High fashion or fetish? You decide.
- Super strappy sandals from Jimmy Choo, Nicholas Kirkwood, Coach, Calvin Klein, Via Spiga. Knockoffs at earth-bound prices by Alice and Olivia for Payless, Aldo, Nine West.
- Cascades of ruffles like flower petals on everything: t shirts, blouses, dresses, cardigans. Pretty, but not precious.
- The trench: short, classic, sexy. Think “Come Spy With Me.”
- Utilitarian fashion: utility jackets and sporty anoraks in fabrics ranging from silk to waterproof canvas can be dressed up or down.
- Bold floral motifs. Dainty prints need not apply.
- Menswear-inspired pieces: the endlessly wearable boyfriend jacket in every fabric imaginable. Button-down shirt. Sexy fedoras--the ultimate in cool.
- To my mid-life sisters - just say “no” to thigh high dresses. Sorry, but they really are for younger women who strut along on long slim shapely limbs.
- Deny any knowledge of the dropped crotch pant. It’s unflattering and makes one look like she needs a diaper change.
So, what will I be wearing?
- Jean leggings with tunics and lightweight casual dresses
- Sophisticated, ladylike sheath dresses in a variety of colors and prints
- Pencil skirts from J Crew, Banana Republic and Boden USA
- Skinny jeans
- Colorful sandals
- Cute flats in blue patent, purple patent, black patent and pewter
It's an exciting season which inspires me to be joyous, sassy, and bold. How are
you feeling today?

I brought two pairs of strappy stilettos. Me, who hates shopping, had to have some. Thanks Linda.
Can't wait to see them! I know they're hot.
