IN THE BUFF

Getting the perfect wedges is easier said than done. It’s one of the reasons we are all on the hunt for the perfect nude wedge for Spring/Summer 2010. In a soft shade of blush, nude open toe wedges are equally lovely for leisurely Sundays or trips about town. Why go nude? First, they go with every single outfit you own. You don't believe me? Look around darlin', from a cute cocktail dress to jeans, the second thing the wedge does is extend your legs. Even girls like me who are 5'9" can take advantage of the visual illusion. Normally, I get told I have legs for days, now I have legs for weeks ;)

The best thing about shoes, is there is a price point for everyone's budget. From ShoeDazzle to Aldo to Dior, find the nude wedge that fits your style. Here are a few of my summer favorites that you will see my clients in.

1. SHOEDAZZLE, the MONA. Everyone of my clients went crazy for this cute lil nude heel, but guess what is being released in the next month's selection? Cute wedges! Sign up today- http://www.shoedazzle.com/. Price of all of our shoes $39/ea.

2. ALDO, the GEITNER. Yes, we are still obsessed with multi-textures and braids, now we love them on the ankles. The modified gladiator of yesteryear is back and better than ever. And the best part, these babies are only $90.
