Fashion Fashionista: Feeding your foot fetish

Most of us are up to our ankles in ice and snow right now, but spring is just around the corner and couldn't come soon enough to finally let our pretty, polished feet be adorned with the seasons best once again. Although North America is sharing its bitter side, store shelves are stocking up on the latest shoe trends the season has to offer. So what will the fashion-savvy woman be wearing upon her feet in weeks to come?

Wedges are definitely back, along with platform and extreme heels. What started as a mini trend last year has now become the trend of the season. The retro look really never goes out of style. Elements are always there, and will be a part of every fashionista's wardrobe this spring/summer.

Although feet do look best while arched on that great pedestal heel, comfort is also in and goes a long way. Flats were huge last year (thank gawd!) and will be back in a big way to keep you walking and talking for hours on end. Flats are a great alternative to heels and give you precious tootsies a chance to rest.

Colour is where it's at and flashy, sassy shoes will be the part of your outfit that makes a statement. The brighter the better; yellow, red, and blue (oh my) will propel you to just where you need to be.

When you think about it, shoes can change what you are wearing from day to night, casual to classy. You're shoes not only say a lot about your mood but also your style. Bright colours, vivid prints and polka dots, are appearing on a lot of designer footwear. From sneakers to pumps, to flip flopping around town, let your feet do the talking and bring out your personality from head to toe.
