Shoes for Summer

Originally designed to protect our feet from the weather, sharp objects and uncomfortable surfaces, shoes these days are not just used for protection purposes only – but also as a fashion statement. An outfit cannot be an outfit if you’re not wearing any shoes. I always believe that one can’t have too many shoes and have at least one design/shoe type for every type of occasion. Since the Philippines is a tropical island, and summer is not yet over(well, at least for a few more weeks). Here are some shoes I’ve selected that would be perfect for that summer-ender soiree.

NAUTICAL SIREN

American fashion designer, Michael Kors, always makes the most chic and most luxurious items for the jet-setting crowd. If you’re going yachting with your girlfriends in your fabulous kaftans, pair it with these lovely Michael Kors thong sandals

A nautical striped top, white shorts and these Michael Kors sandals below screams chic and classy.

… and of course, for those who wants a little boost to their height, these Michael Kors espadrille wedges are the cutest.

COCKTAILS BY THE BEACH

Cole Haan‘s contemporary style would be perfect for that casual gathering at a private beach house with your girlfriends. This ivory sandal by Cole Haan gives you that relaxation and stylish look.

… and for those who prefer heels, these heeled Cole Haan sandals are perfect.

LUAU PARTY

The perfect shoes for a summer-ender luau party would be the unique designs of Stuart Weitzman. These exotic Stuart Weitzman shoes are sure showstoppers.

Whether it be on a yacht, by the beach or at a party in a fabulous beach house, make sure to leave a long-lasting impressionwith your outft… and remember, the perfect outfit requires the perfect shoes to complete everything.
