With four weddings to attend this year, I’m on the hunt for cute wedding shoes to go with the cute dresses I’ve picked out. I’m going to one in May, one in September and one in October (in Florida), so fancy sandals are going to be my shoe of choice. I’ve been checking out my options.

I like t-strap slides a lot: slipons, low heel (for comfort), but still strappy and sexy.

But then I also like slingback heels. These are delicate and feminine and fun.

And who doesn’t love shiny patent leather?

Shoes are one of those things that can really make or break an outfit and set a mood. But we all know how badly shoes can affect your fun when you feel your feet start to hurt. That’s the other good thing about sandals...just slip them off to let your feet cool down a bit, and then hop back up for more fun.

I CANNOT WAIT until I can wear summer shoes again! And I’m thinking about all the pairs I want to add to my wardrobe: sandals, thongs, peep-toe wedges…

On the sandal front, I’m thinking something like these starfish sandals in white. I love the silver starfish embellishment, and these are perfect for the beach.

As for thongs (or as I call them, flip-flops, to distinguish from the other kind of thong), I like something a little more exciting than a plain color basic. I like the brown version of these flower thongs because they have the shape and comfortable style, but with the flower.

And finally, peep-toe wedges (not super-high platform wedges, though). I like the comfortable lower-heeled wedges like these—and the snakeskin pattern is a really fun addition.

OMG wedges. I love them. I love that they are heels without being spiky and extra hard to walk in. I love that they are actually a little bit comfortable. And I love the way they look, too.

Basically wedges are just named after their heels—a wedge instead of a pump or a platform or a stiletto. The shoes themselves can vary, of course, but they always have that wedge heel.

The twisty fun and pearlized leather look of this pair of wedges makes them appropriate for most occasions (sometimes wedges work best with casual looks).This pair would work even with a formal dress, though.

For a casual spring-summer beach look, add some shell-trimmed wedges to your closet. You could wear these with jeans or shorts or a skirt or even a bathing suit and cover-up.

And for something in-between, these wedges would look awesome with a maxi dress or a casual short dress for a fun night out.
