Yesterday we got some 411 on the highly-anticipated Christian Dior ‘Les Marquises’ sunglasses. This gorgeous collection is so exciting considering all the different color-blocked variations perfect for the warmer months. Each pair is $295 and will be available at Dior Boutiques.

From platform sandals to comfy wedges and prices ranging from under $80 to over $1,000, we scoured through our favorite retailers for the top 10 lust-worthy shoes this Spring.
It’s Spring and we all have a pair of wedges or sandals somewhere in our closet that we thought were cute last year and absolutely ugly today. That doesn’t mean you’ve got to go and spend a ton of cash on a newer pair to replace the dated ones in your closet because we’ve listed 25 pairs of shoes suitable for Spring that are both cute and reasonably priced.
TIPS:
Seek serious stacked or espadrille platforms on wedges. Avoid wedges that don’t give the support you need. Besides, platform wedges are cuter.
Last Spring it was all about neutrals and nudes. This Spring opt for bold colors. For example, if you see a cute sandal in black check and see if they have it in orange instead. This will add some color to your Spring wardrobe and help you incorporate the color-blocking trend subtly.
1. The classic shape of this bag in a bright yellow is a gorgeous combination. Perfect for Spring’s loud-color trend. Proenza Schouler PS1 Small Leather Satchel ($1,225).
2. We love the tough, structured look and versatility of this satchel. Utilize the top-handle or add on the shoulder strap to make it a cool cross-body bag. 3.1 Phillip Lim K.C. Satchel ($850).
3. The gold hardware really pops against this rich shade of green on this Marc by Marc Jacobs D1 Bianca Hayley Tote ($498).
4. The use of rose gold hardware against white stingray, leather and suede makes this bag a super unique statement piece. Alexander Wang Jade Wristlet Bag ($795).
5. This clutch features a unique, studded strap opening on the front to slip your hand through. Valentino Va Va Voom Studded Leather Convertible Clutch ($1,845).
6. The military green hue and tassels make this bag easy to dress up or down. L.A.M.B. Marney Tote ($278)
7. The pastel-blue shade of this classic gives it a lady-like spin for Spring. Miu Miu Leather Satchel ($1,695).
8. The cute shape and additional shoulder strap makes this tote an everyday bag candidate. The red-orange hue is a plus. Tory Burch Jamie Small Bucket Tote ($450).
9. The braided touches make this classic, cross-body bag versatile. Wear it with your favorite boho outfit in Spring or pair it with a peacoat and boots in the Winter. Chloé Marcie Cross-Body Bag ($680).
10. And last but not least… we all know an overnight bag is a must-have for Spring. The animal print on this one is way fun. Lanvin Python-Print Canvas Overnight Bag ($1,595).
We kind of grew out of heavy logo placement over the past couple of years but check out these shoes from Louis Vuitton Fall 2011.
Will you be sporting logos and monogram print again?

Let’s admit it, the same old espadrille wedges get damn boring every year. Upon reviewing Behati Prinsloo’s spread in Vogue Turkey I had an uncontrollable shoegasm, yup the kind you need a post cigarette for. These wedges are by the always amazing Pierre Hardy via from his Spring 2011 collection which happens to be filled with gorgeous espadrilles and colorblock wedges. Sadly, for me I tried my hardest to avoid looking at his latest collection because I knew it would get me all sorts of excited and depressed. What do you think of the shoes?

The Spring 2011 accessory collection by Alexander Wang is stunning to say the least. The pieces take on a utilitarian vibe in brights as well as monochromatic tones. Wang introduces us to rose gold hardware in his latest collection but brings back variations of classics like the super-popular studded Coco and Diego bags from his Fall ’09 collection.

I don’t die. I’m dead. These Yves Saint Laurent Love Ballerina Flats are fatally cute and a totally must-have for any YSLOHOLIC. They come in an array of colors and while these can’t replace our fave YSL pumps, these flats are a perfect vacation for your feet. Can you say toodles Tory Burch? Bonjour Yves.
These retail at $475-480 and are available for pre-order at YSL.

And here are the shoes and accessories from Lanvin’s H&M collection. OMFG. That is all. I’m going to have to pawn some shit to buy the entire collection.
Generally TD features an array of super high pumps on Shoegasm Saturday but today the Burberry Wellington Boot takes the title of The Most Shoegasmic Rain Boot Ever. These boots have silver studs at top, a signature checked trim beneath the studs, and a gripped rubber sole that’s perfect for the wet weather. SHOP: Burberry Studded Wellington Boots @ Net-a-Porter for $395.
WHY Viktor & Rolf WHY? These shoes (among others) make me want to do bad things for shoe money. This smooth leather lace-up bootie features an exaggerated treaded platform & shearling trim. To be honest I wasn’t cray about this whole shearling revival but Viktor & Rolf have executed the trend beautifully in this piece.
Bitches can buy them at La Garconne.
