We’ve been long awaiting the arrival of Spring, if for nothing else then to kick off our tired Winter boots and slip into some of these fabulous Spring sandals. Check out these hot footwear finds for you and your little one.

shoes for you…

Jeffrey Campbell “Item” Flip Flops. What we love most about sparkly flip flops is how they instantly make our mommy uniform (jeans and a T-shirt) look somehow sophisticated and hip. This pair is right on trend with turquoise jewels and metallic leather. $50 at nordstrom.com.

Born “Croix” Slingback. This wedge has comfort, class, and cool. The incredibly-light cork sole is topped with luxuriously-soft leather straps. It is a little bit tough and a little bit trendy, making it the perfect sandle to go with almost anything in your wardrobe. $90 at nordstrom.com.

“Vix” by Miss Sixty. We’ve never seen any flip flops quite like these. The rowdy denim soles are cleverly paired with gold leather braided straps that are tied in a sweet bow. Funky and fabulous, they prove that a neutral pair of sandals don’t have to be boring. $50 at simplysoles.com.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Espadrilles. Espadrilles, in all shapes and sizes, are totally hot this season. We tend to be a bit leary of this style for fear that they’ll look frumpy. But this pair has a refined silhouette that is totally tailored, and we just adore all the bright, springy colors. $225 at nordstrom.com.

Robyn by Bruno Magli. These wedges are so European cool that we couldn’t help but swoon. (I know isn’t the blue to die for?) In our dreams of being pulled-together, fashion-forward mamas… we would wear shoes as cool as these every single day. $225 at simplysoles.com.

for your little one…

Pediped. These hand-stiched shoes have soft, padded soles that are made of the most rich leather. They are also very easy to put on little wiggly feet. We love the sweetly-simple styling of the Sara mary jane, and the Liam shoe for boys is so retro cool. We’re sure these shoes are the next classics. $29 at pediped.com.

Robeez. We are big fans of these soft-soled, leather shoes for our little ones, and you wouldn’t believe how well they stay on. There are a multitude of adorable designs including this Springtime-inspired Tulip style for little girls (and the burgundy goes with just about everything). Won’t your little prince look charming in the Robeez Frog shoes? $26 at robeez.com.
Monkey Toes. These playful canvas shoes are seriously cute. It’s hard to remember the last time we came across shoes that were so fabulously childish. Each and every sneaker is hand painted by designer/mommy Jenny Chism. The Little Ladies and Buzzy Bees were our favorites of the bunch, and we were in heaven when we saw the matching socks. $27-30 at monkey-toes.com.
