We Love Wedges

Stuart Weitzman "Alex" Espadrille wedge

Steve Madden "Finley" Espadrille wedge

Let me count the reasons why I love wedges: cute, comfy, stylish, versatile, and did I say comfy?  Espadrille wedges are always in style for spring and summer.  When I find a pair I love, I buy them in every color.  It was love at first site when I saw Jennifer Aniston wearing Stuart Weitzman's "Alex" Espadrille wedge in a tabloid a couple summers ago: I was determined to find myself a pair.  I found the Steve Madden "Finley" Espadrille wedge unexpectedly in Journey's and was ecstatic at its likeness to the "Alex."  I was even more ecstatic when I saw the price tag-$40!  A whole $325 less than the "Alex," which sells for $365.  I bought them first in the beige color (pictured) and quickly went back to purchase them in black and brown.  These wedges are the best-I lived in them all last spring and summer and can't wait to take them out again this year!  You can buy these wedges only at Journey's stores, as for some reason they aren't available online.  Go and get them while you still can in every single color!  Trust me, you'll be so glad you did!

Fabuless Ballet Flats

Tory Burch "Eddie" Ballet Flat

Lucky Brand "Emmie" Ballet Flat

Every girl needs a few pairs of ballet flats in her shoe collection.  They are cute, comfy, and versatile.  Tory Burch is known for her classic styles of ballet flats, the "Eddie" flat being one of the most popular.  Her styles range in price from $178-$250, the "Eddie" priced at $178.  This is a little pricy in my opinion for a basic leather ballet flat, so I present you with the "Emmie" from Lucky Brand.  This adorable flat is a dead ringer for the "Eddie," but is nearly $120 less... priced at just $59!  I bought a few pairs over the weekend and am loving them!  They are super cute and great quality, made of leather and elastic for extra comfort, just like the "Eddie."  You can purchase these at Macy's or direct from LuckyBrand.com.
