Spring 2012 Shoe Trends: Pastel colours - pretty shades of blue, pink, yellow & more shopping the trend!

The past few seasons have been all about the statement shoe - last year our series Art of The Shoe was very popular - but if you're a fan of the classics, you will love this trend! Bold splashes of colour are definitely front and center for the upcoming Spring 2012 season, and while you can go bold with shoes, there is more of an assortment of pretty colours to choose from, many of them more soft than bold.

Pastels and light colours have never been so pretty in shoes - from a delicate pastel blue embroidered sandal by Italian lavel Lerre to this pink and yellow print pump by Nicholas Kirkwood, anything goes. It's the easiest way to add colour to your wardrobe right now as well especially if you work in an office. Right now you can wear the boots TO the office, then slip into a rich pair of pumps, and when the weather turns a little more mild, you can wear the pumps outside. They require a little extra care as you don't want them to get scuffed - the colour IS the trend!

We have already profiled the colour block trend (a few times now, it's that important), and keep in mind that a two-tone shoe will do very nicely. And in case you missed it, colour paired with black is a very hot trend right now, so you can't go wrong with any colour combination. For those fashionsitas who still love their statement shoes, fear not, check out these delightful Ruthie Davis Peep Toe Pumps - count em, there are four colours! Gorgeous shoe.. and an assortment below for day and night.
