Flirty Flowers

Trend Spotting: Flirty Flowers

Perennial Style

This trend will leave you feeling flirty.

What’s not to love about a look that’s always in bloom? We love the sheer romance that exudes from a look adorned with floral accents. For the 2014 summer season, wear your delicate florals with sheer, lightweight prints for an extra burst of femininity. Then, change it up with vibrant patterns and a belt of clashing color-- and don’t be afraid to accessorize!

Pallis Wedge-Put the Peddle to the Metal
“Florals for summer is nothing groundbreaking, but a breath of romanticism ran through the Spring/Summer 2014 collections, with designers turning to roses, poppies and camellias to bring the countryside into the city with embroidery, print and texture.” - Vogue

Shop flirty flowers to add an extra spring in your step. We’ll show you how to wear this trend for a day in the sun, a day in the office, or a special night in with your love.

Freshen Up the Everyday

“When it comes to [Spring] fashion that means open-toed shoes, pastels, light layers, and of course, floral prints! The bright, girly patterns of the season are a fun way to freshen up a dull winter wardrobe and help guide the transition into the warmer weather months.” - Huffington Post

Cameron Wedge Sandal - Fall in Love with Flirty Flowers
Add romance to your everyday wardrobe by pairing these floral items with your sundresses, skirts and shorts. Put the petal to the metal with the Pallis 4-inch wedges in a brilliant shade of coral-- a shade of romance that will win you over. And, what could be more flirtatious than fuchsia? The Cameron 4-inch Wedge Sandals feature a brilliant bloom in this amorous hue.


Want to make a move, but afraid of being too forward? For your most romantic nights, try the Argenta 6-inch Dressy Platform Pump. This shoe says it all so you don’t have to, and it comes in a blushing shade of coral that is anything but shy.

And, go pro in florals-- professional, that is. Try a sleek look with dark floral prints. Black, white, gray and dark red patterns bring a sense of sophistication to your summer wardrobe. Paired with sleek hair and rosy lips, dark florals show that you have a romantic streak under a stoic exterior.

Blush Pink

Trend Spotting: Blush Pink

“You look lovely.”

“Oh stop it, I’m blushing…”

“I know you are. It’s so beautiful I can’t look away.”
Sparrkk T-Strapped Sandals - Stunning Sparkle Embellishment

Blush Pink originally made its appearance on runways in Autumn/Fall 2013. This feminine hue has since stolen hearts and is one of Spring's most sought-after colors. Blush Pink is popping up everywhere, from short pink sundresses down to blush pink shoes.

“A hue that ignites more partisanship than the presidential debates, pink is making a play for universal acceptance. And the season's runways make a strong case in its favor. In its more restrained state of pastel, blush and icy shades, pink's inherent femininity and ability to flatter dissipate its more saccharine tendencies- one pencil skirt at a time.” - Harper’s Bazaar

The Heart of the Matter

Lancaster Gladiator Sandals - Bold Style with Feminine Twist
Here’s the thing about blush pink – it captures the essence of being a woman perfectly. Our elusive mystery, our keen intuition, inherent sexiness, and the softness that our world so badly needs.

Give us more than a superficial glance and you’ll catch a glimpse of our unique selves. It’s there in the depths of our eyes, the grace of our bodies, and the steady strength of our souls. We are women.

[…deep sigh of satisfaction…]

Don’t you love it when a color just says it all? Go blush pink! Way to be!

And We Get to Have It In Our Closets!

“When Mother Nature won’t cooperate, it's time to create your own first signs of spring. Behold the wide variety of tulip colors, from the palest pink to a shade approaching magenta, making an early appearance on short dresses this season.” - InStyle
Parita Thong Sandals - Sweet  & Effortless

Yes that’s right women of all ages, blush pink in all its glory is a fashion trend this season. And when a fashion trend is this stunning in real life, that’s something we here at Shoe Land get excited about! 

Look what we have for you! Our Parita Flat Thong Sandals with Rhinestone Straps are a sweet and effortless way to walk out your door and face the day looking great. Got a little pink tank you can wear with your favorite jeans or shorts? How about a blush pink sarong to tie over your favorite swimming suit at the beach? You’re set.

Take the bling up a couple notches with our Sparrkk Flat T-Strap Sandals with Sparkling Chain Accent. These dazzling slip-ons require accessories to match their awesomeness. Maybe a glittery scarf in your hair, bangles, a flashy bag, some crystal-studded sunglasses. Crank it up baby, these things rock!

Like Bees to a Flower Patch

Belva Wedge Sandals - Slip Into Stylish Comfort
Lauren Conrad said it best: “Blush made a big splash on the spring runways of designers like Balmain, Christian Dior, and Isabel Marant. It is the ultimate feminine color, and it can be light enough to even be considered a neutral. This hue can be worn almost any way, and for any occasion this spring. You can wear a monochromatic blush ensemble, or just add a few pops of pink here and there.”

We are particularly proud of our Lancaster Gladiator Sandals with Gold-Accented Straps. And who wouldn’t be, have you seen these things? Casual fashion or flawless date night wear, it’s all good! Try them with a flowing patchwork skirt in pale tones, a light gold cami, big earrings, and elegantly messy hair.

Kemper Floral Wedges - Ultra-Feminine
Go casual glam in our Belva Studded Wedge Sandals – stylish, super comfortable slip-ons that you’ll reach for over and over. Buckled and studded with classy gold, you’ll find them a perfect complementary look for your fitted ankle pants and a sexy off the shoulder top.

All Woman. All You.

Narrow legged trousers come to life with our Kemper 4-Inch Slide Wedges. With an ultra-feminine, lace-covered blush pink vest, of course. Also, consider combining them with a captivating sundress and movie star sunglasses. Then have fun watching the people around you stop and stare.

For days when you want to feel wickedly girly at the office, pair your classic black pencil skirt with a blush pink silk shell, a very long double-strand of glossy black beads, and a pair of our Dalma 5-Inch Classic Peep-Toe Wedges. Or mix your look up a bit by wearing a crisp charcoal business vest for a shirt and tucking a blush pink tie down the front. That’ll cause a ruckus…

We have more. Drop by Shoe Land anytime and have a look-see, or grab some great styling ideas from our Pinterest Blush Pink Board. We are your blush pink shoe headquarters!
