Four Shoe Trends That You Just CAN'T Ignore

At MARY, we believe that the right shoes can definitely make or break an outfit. So, we have compiled the most popular shoe trends of the season to make shopping and getting dressed a little bit more fun.

1. You should not think of boots as just a winter favorite anymore. This season lightweight boots are everywhere. This cowboy boot from FRYE is the perfect way to get in on the trend. Grab a pair of cowboy boots to go with this spring's "boho" tunics and dresses.

2. Save your flip-flops for the pool! With so many choices of strappy, colorful, and jeweled sandals, it is easy to find an option that will compliment all of your sundresses. Just remember pedicured toes look the best with these.

3. A nude wedge or heel is a must in every fashionista's closet. The nude color elongates the leg and matches EVERYTHING! Need we say more? 4. For the past few seasons, sky high heels have ruled. Let us introduce you to the "mini-heel." Whether it's a kitten heel or a sliver wedge, you can wear these comfortable shoes to work or out on the town. (Hint: They add a lady-like touch to distressed and cuffed jeans.)

Top 5 Spring Trends

As the warmer months are quickly approaching, it is time to refresh your wardrobe with brighter colors and bolder prints. Luckily, MARY has put together a cheat sheet of the must have trends for the spring season.

1. It's all about the details. Ruffles and lace are everywhere this spring. Show your softer side with this Karlie lace top. It will definitely become your go-to look of the season with jeans and simple layering necklaces. Add a little interest to an everyday summer dress by looking for one with feminine details, such as the one below with the ruffled neckline.

2. Make a bold statement with prints. It does not matter if you prefer preppy stripes, bold florals, or wild abstract prints. We LOVE them all, especially this one shoulder dress from Karlie and the neon tribal print dress from Joy Joy. Simple accessories are best with these statement making dresses.

3. We cannot go without mentioning a little something about accessories. The quickest and easiest

way to update an outfit. The over sized clutch is the perfect way to "travel" light this spring. Large enough to hold everything you need, but not so big that it overpowers your look. Check out the ones below from French Connection and HOBO. The perfect way to complete any of the looks we have mentioned.

4. You do not have to travel the world to look like you do. This spring the tribal look remains a mainstay. Neutral colors, animal prints, intricate embroidery details, and chunky accessories are the keys to "Trekker" chic. This maxi dress from Joy Joy has just enough embroidery to be on trend, but not too much to be over the top, and the Michael Stars tee is the perfect way to easily bring this trend into your wardrobe. Try it with jeans instead of a skirt for a more casual look.

5. A skirt story...For the longest time, dresses have ruled the warmer months. However, this spring the skirt should play a key role in your wardrobe. Think of the endless possibilities with one of our favorites: the Reese Skirt by Leona. Wear it with a beaded tank and sandals for day or a silk top and heels for a night out.
