"Strappy shoes?" I hear you cry. "Don't you mean strappy sandals" Well, yes and no. This seasons must have shoe trend draws a fine line between a shoe and a sandal. Open toe or opensides? Laces? Up to the ankle…

But I have to say 'shoe' despite the evidence…mainly because they're for the fall/winter collections and whilst I may live in Los Angeles and be able to wear strappy sandals all year round, I'm thinking people in New York, for example, are going to be wanting shoes this winter. (because it's the name that keeps your feet warm)

Anyhoo, I digress. I'm actually really into this trend. And will most likely buy into it via Target (shoe #4 though I really think those are sandals- but I'm in LA so na na na)

The good news is socks and sandals are coming back..sorry I mean socks and shoes…whatever. Enjoy!
