I love wearing heels of different shapes and colors. The Novato in aqua, and the Lorissa in truffle are two of my favorites. I feel so elegant and poised when I wear them! The Novato adds a touch of bright color and complements my turquoise blouse, skinny jeans, and blazer. The Lorissa in nude is neutral but with an edge, and looks great with different textures such as my faux fur coat and distressed boyfriend jeans. All three of these heels can transform any outfit and provide the perfect dose of confidence.

Here are three different ways we like to pair floral prints with our Spring/Summer collection:

Poppy Red

The Odetta in red hot/saddle is a chic, heeled sandal that is perfect for showing off your pedicure. With a red flower pattern, double ankle strap, and gold heel accents, the Odetta is the perfect complement to a structured outfit of neutral colors and bold accessories.

Sunshine Yellow

You can’t have a bad day in the Felicia in sunshine yellow. These bright flats are printed with yellow flowers and polished with a small yellow bow. Wear them with denim, a flowy white top, and sunshine yellow accents for a simple bohemian look.

Accented Flats

Floral pants are a fun and fresh trend that will add some excitement to a blouse or tank. Pair them with the Betty, with its accent hardware, for the perfect casual office look with a fun twist.

I tend to buy shoes that go with everything, such as the Rella in whiskey/au-natural and Gigi in saddle, because I know I will wear them over and over again.

Every so often, I love to purchase a “statement” pair of shoes, like the Warner 2 in ruby red and the Odetta in black/white/pink. These types of shoes are amazing heels that I base an entire outfit around. They are shoes that get noticed! I don’t necessarily wear them all the time, but I love having them in my wardrobe for an instant style pick-me-up.

“As a male designer in the world of women’s footwear, I come in contact everyday with women whose lives are touched by breast cancer in one way or another,” Sam Edelman shared. “I’m so blessed that women love shoes. I’m so blessed to work with women every day of my life and I’m so blessed to be able to give back.”

Now that the birds are chirping and the flowers are blooming, it’s time to shed some layers and kick your wardrobe into spring-mode. And what better way to transition your outfits from drab to dramatic then with a pair of colored jeans? Whether they are pastels, neons, or saturated darker hues, these denim essentials offer a wide variety of amazing spring outfit combinations for you to try.

Here are some of our favorite ways to pair colored denim with Sam Edelman shoes this Spring.

Ginger

The Ginger sandals in rose gold, pewter, and light gold will dazzle with your pastel-colored denim shorts and cropped jeans. These light, playful shoes are perfect for the beach or a casual day of shopping.

Javi

If you’re into color-blocking, the Javi in salmon is definitely the shoe for you. Keep it simple by wearing with jeans in the same color family, or mix it up with a pair of shocking blue or radiant yellow skinnies.

Jorgia

There’s nothing sexier than a combination of vivid color and animal print. The Jorgia in new nude leopard looks gorgeous paired with your favorite colored denim. If this look is too daring for you, tone it down by trying a pair of snakeskin flats like the Felicia.

1. The peeptoe is a fun way to show off those glamorous pedicured toes and gives the Tacoma some extra flair to separate it from the pack of chunky-heeled platforms.

2. Who needs diamonds– everyone knows a platform is a girl’s best friend. Not only does it provide some extra height, but it also adds a dose of comfort so you can dance the night away!

3. The Tacoma’s chunky heel introduces some retro flair into your spring wardrobe. This stylish detail will let you keep your look on trend all season long, without sacrificing any of the classic style that a pump provides.

4. Snakeskin, patent leather, suede… oh my. The Tacoma’s different colors and materials give it chic and sexy versatility.

5. The ankle detail is a delicate embellishment that polishes and accentuates. It balances the design and introduces that subtle a hint of sexiness you’re looking for.

Now that you know all the devilish details, discover which color Tacoma you’re going to love.
