Accessory Report: Spring’s Freshest Shoe Silhouettes
Hey everyone, it’s Allison here! While you may be well versed in which spring style ideas are on your must-try list this season, making your wardrobe absolutely perfect is still going to take a little extra sole searching. I have always believed that a beautiful pair of shoes can elevate your outfit in an instant. Just as studded stilettos can take a look from boring to bold, a pair of classic pointy pumps can add a dash of class to any ensemble. With a little help from our amazing followers on our LaurenConrad.com Instagram, today I will cover which spring shoe silhouettes you’re going to want in your closet, like…now. Grab a pencil and paper because I guarantee you will be adding these styles to your shopping list…
1. Heavy Metal
Spikes, studs, and metallics were big on the runways of Spring 2013 collections, thanks to designers like Balenciaga and Fendi. Take a note from the pros and give your soles a little sparkle and shine.

2. Animal Instincts
A touch of leopard, zebra, or giraffe print can give any look a walk on the wild side. Go for a pair of leopard ballet flats or zebra stilettos (black and white is so in) to add some flair to an otherwise simple outfit.

3. Moody Blues
Cobalt is a hue that has already been popping up in stores like Madewell, Zara, and J. Crew, so get ready to see a lot more of this moody blue come spring. Keep the color fresh and fun by incorporating it into a pair of pointed pumps.

4. Festival Fringe
If you’re like me, you’re probably already getting excited about curating your closet for upcoming summer music festivals (hurry up and get here, Coachella!). Gypsy inspired pieces and fringe details were all over the spring runways of Band of Outsiders and Tory Burch, so don’t be afraid to shop for shoes with festival vibes in mind this season.

5. The (Not So) Short Stack
Good news for those of you who believe that the higher your shoes are, the closer you are to heaven: Stacked-heel platforms are here to stay…for another season, at least! Designers Calvin Klein and Bottega Venneta showed us that when it comes to shoes, the higher the better. Go ahead and invest in a pair of stacked-heel soles this spring!

I love the glittered spikes! I already own a pair of cobalt heels that look exactly like the picture; guess I need to take them out of the closet more often! -
Love the stacked heel! I love super high shoes, so I'm glad they're here to stay. Also, loving the color of those! <3 -

I just purchased some leopard Tory Burch flats! I have been waiting for the snow to melt to break them out and I think I will finally be able to debut them this weekend! I'm so excited! I also love the blue shoes, I saw a pair of BCBG blue+mint heels back in January and did not buy them, Kicking myself for that now!

Sneaker Wedges are my thing for spring! They work with skinny jeans, shorts, dresses -- dress them up or dress them down! Check out Amazon.com for a huge variety of sneaker wedges!
I wore mine to work last week at a large Healthcare IT consulting firm and all of the men commented "Your shoes are fresh!" "Looking good!" "sweet kicks!" -

I have a pair of spiked open-toed heels I got last year and I LOVE them. Can't wait to pull them out when it warms up. Also, the title of this post made me smile :) -
