Let's be honest.  The single most exciting thing to buy in the spring is a new pair of shoes.  The second most exciting thing is the first pedicure of the season (and of course, weather warm enough to show it all off).  This spring, we have more shoe choices than ever.  Literally everything is in style.  Floral? Check.  Chunky heels?  Check.  Platforms?  Yes. Especially platforms.  Really the only thing you shouldn't be wearing right now is kitten heels, but those aren't flattering to begin with, agreed?

Here is your roundup of spring 2012 shoe trends:

Strappy: Manolo Blahnik Colorblock Lizard Sandal, $745 USD
T-Strap: Burberry T-Strap Sandal, $795 USD
Chunky Heel:  Prada Patent Leather and Colored Micro T Strap Sandal, $520
Caged: Valentino Rockstud Caged Sandal, $895 USD
Color Block: Brian Atwood Alima Colorblock Florescent Platform Pump, $761 USD
Wedge: Christian Louboutin Miramar Suede & Patent Wedge Pump, $995

Now, I know what you're thinking. Why are you only showing me the cheap stuff?  Stop wasting my time and show me something I'd actually buy.  Or maybe it was my imaginary muse, shipping heir and socialite, Inga Vonfluffinstein who said that. 

In any case, Claire and I decided to try a spring shoe trend but at a more attainable price point.  Our shoes were the same price and a shockingly good one at that.  Can you guess how much?  Here we model The Wedge:
