The summer heat is creeping up on us and the winter wadrobes are have long been hidden in the back of our closests. One of the great things about summer is you can stop hiding behind your socks and get to wear those cute open-toe shoes. My favorite shoes for this summer are wedges! They are super adorable yet super chic. I love that the heel will give my booty and thighs a nice lift but the platform let's me be able to walk in them and pretend to be the next Gisele. They are perfect for summer parties or just hanging out with friends! J'adore!
These Jeffrey Campbell wedges go for $199. These shoes are ridiculous, bananas, and any other adjectives that mean insane. These are a more high fashion version of an oxford. Oxfords have come back into style but this takes it up a notch. There's a cutout from the heel to the instep which makes it tres daring. Warning, these shoes may make a statement but they look painful! Wear at your own risk!!
These Jeffrey Campbell wedges are on sale for $99. I love the rocker boot but feminine look to it. The lace-ups make them feel like boots and add to that rocker side.

I just got these shoes last week and paid $17! This is such a steal and they are so cute. I love the colors and they go with anything. The crisscross in front is a nice touch and the heel to platform isn't to steep. Another plus, they are really comfortable and fit perfectly. Beware, the heel can be tight, if your heel is bigger then they may be to snug.

These wedges are from HM and are $49.95. I love how these aren't the traditional wedges and they are a bit more of a heel. The fake leather with the straw trim brings it back their 'wedge' roots. The straps add some extra sass to it and the backing is perfect to make sure your heels stay on the whole night. Wear this with a cute sundress/ dress or jeans.

These wedges go for $162. These wedges are for my edgy girl or the punk rocker. These black leather wedges are sick especially with the 4.5in platform. The slashed leather gives it more of a grunge look. and the zipper in the back gives it a super sexy feel. Wear these with cutoff shorts or even a dress to edge it up.

*I die* These Stuart Weitzman wedges are $375. These shoes are HOT! The glitter make them sophisticated and rich. The double buckle is an added touch and unexpected since you usually only get one buckle. I love how it goes a bit higher and covers part of the ankle but the rest of your foot is exposed. These can be used as a statement piece, dress up a plain outfit, or to go out.
As you can see wedges are hot and that's not just from the summer heat! There are so many different styles, heights, and colors to choose from. You can go for a pop of color, add the glam with sparkles, or keep them nude and classy. I love that I can pair them with shorts or a dress and still look hot. These shoes give you the sexiness of a heel but the platform makes you be able to walk in them. These shoes make you want to stomp it out and work it like Gisele. I love wedges and can't wait to work them this summer! I already have one pair and I'd defiantly getting more next shopping trip!!
