4 Shoes You Need This Spring

Later, winter! So over you, it's not even funny. Spring is here, officially, but the weather is still unpredictable. It snows one day, the next its literally sunshine and daisies. I'm not complaining, I'll take any sunshine I can get! One struggle I always have during this transition stage is knowing what to wear on my feet. I'm so done with boots by now, but it is still cold and wet! In light of the seasonal changes, I've rounded up the top shoes you need to go from winter to spring.

1- Slip On Loafers

I have been addicted to the slip-on lately. They are the perfect shoe to walk you into warmer weather. Slip-ons leave you some breathing room in the back and the closed-toe option is perfect for these March days. It still is cold, but I can't be bothered to wear boots, and they protect my toes from literally getting frostbite. Want even more springy vibes? Opt for a while pair. Beyond chic. And you can never go wrong with a pointy toe to dress up with a pair of trousers or down with a pair of jeans. These are going to become such an office staple during the warmer months, but I've already started wearing them!

2. White sneakers

If there is one pair of shoe everyone needs in their collection, it's a white sneaker. When the weather is cold but sunny I love pairing white sneakers with some denim and a long wool coat. It's such a refreshing switch up from wearing boots.  In the warmer months, pair them with dresses and skirts for a sporty but classic look. My Keds are one of the best pairs of shoes I own-- they withstand all seasons. I always take them with me while traveling because they are a go anywhere shoe! 

3. Print boots

Remember how I mentioned snow is still continuing to fall? I just know we're bound to have another snowfall soon! So no, we can't just dismiss the realistic necessity of boots just yet. I have a funky pair to help me get through these final dreary winter days. The print screams spring, but the practicability is there. Actually, now that I am looking at these ones again, they are so impractical! LOL-- a high lucite heeled bootie? Oh well. There are so many fun options for printed boots these days, it's not hard to find a pair you'll love. Better than basic black and you can mix and match your spring patterns.

4. Mules

The mule is not going anywhere, guys! And why should they! They are so versatile and so functional. You just slide 'em on. I bought a few pairs this season already. One flat pink pair, and also a black block heeled style. I just love shoes with no backs! This may be too much info-- but sometimes it can get hot and my feet swell! Especially while walking in the warm weather. I know I'm not the only one! Going backless is the best way to let 'em breathe but still look stylish. Sidewalk ready at any time, and they pair with any outfit-- jeans, skirts, dresses. I'm sold.

Are there any styles you are hooked on for spring? Let me know if I missed any!

Trenching

Whatever comes my way, be it sunny skies or bursts of rain I'm taking a new approach. I'm ready for it, trenching through the puddles or lifting my head to chase the sunshine. Every day brings with it new battles, challenges and ups and downs, doesn't it? We are all just rolling with the punches. This is definitely something my brother would say, actually I feel like it was his go-to quote at one point. Nevertheless, it rings true to me right now. But what are my three essentials for this battle in the barracks?

1. Waterproof shoes -- Cougar Boots has me swooning (literally, the shoe is called Swoon) over these waterproof sneakers. Anti-slip, removable cushion inserts and they are guaranteed waterproof. And there's no ounce of compromise on style here.

2. Neutral trench -- Always a necessity. This Club Monaco trench has turned into one of my most loved investment pieces. Timeless, elegant yet structured and leaves you self-assured.

3. Sunglasses -- Not to hide behind, but to shield and protect from harshness. It's okay to use up a bit of defence.

Breathing with GEOX Sneakers

Walking on clouds? Did you even think this was possible anymore? With the influx of shoes that focus offering the look rather than the feel it's become so hard to find a pair that hits the mark on both of those elements. I can now assure you that floaty, bouncy feeling is possible and I have discovered a lightweight, flexible, cushioned pair of sneakers that literally have me walking for hours on end. Want to hear the best part? I didn't even need to break them in! And, talk about chic... they have metallic gold detailing! 

The Geox Nebula are made for those of us on the go. Perfect for travelling, endlessly walking all over town or just getting stuff done! They fit like a glove, have a unique sole that's cushioned and allows for stability and a strong grip, and the inner lining has breathable gaps which allow for excess heat to escape (yet they are weather protective). I recently got the chance to pick up a pair and haven't stopped wearing them since. I was sold on the taupe because the gold detailing was too good to pass up, but they come in a variety of colours (so close to getting the floral pair!) and materials. Hi, black leather!!

The other night we hit up Pizzeria Defina in Roncesvalles (amazing meal, btw) for date night and I couldn't resist pairing them with this outfit. I love that they look great with anything-- leather leggings allude to a casual, street style vibe, skater skirt for a sporty/playful date night, and boyfriend jeans for weekend errand running. You need to get in a pair and feel the technology of these shoes. #StartBreathing with Geox Nebula and you won't be able to stop! 

What do you think of this sporty date night look that pairs a mini skirt with sneakers? Totally retro, right? It's going to be on heavy rotation this summer! You'll notice my favourite Coach mini cross body had to make an appearance for a pop of colour, too.
