A little Roman inspiration...

If you have been anywhere near a shoe store for the past two spring/summer seasons then you have become reacquainted with the gladiator sandal. In seasons past the selections have been quite literal and lacked the pizzazz that I know you girls were craving for.

Fear not! This year there is a gladiator for every taste. You can choose to be spunky, and might I say quite avant-garde by bravely choosing a variation similar to the ones that Balenciaga had on the runway. For those looking for a pair a little more ready-to-wear and a little less couture, check a few of your choices.







This version is like a sandal-boot, so if you don't mind the restriction, then this statement shoe might be for you.







This indulges in two trends at once...Metallic and Gladiator


This is multi-tonal and will be multi-purpose





Who says you can't be a sexy gladiator?

















If gladiator sandals just don't excite you, that is O.K. too. Every trend is certainly not for everyone and there are plenty of other choices out there. Be sure to get your window shopping started though........summer time will be here before you know it!
