Shoe Trends 2011...you decide

We definetly connected with this article written by Daniel P. Dykes on http://www.fashionising.com/.  So we grabbed it and are sharing it with you to keep you updated on what's hot for spring. We share which trend Chocolate Sole Lounge - A Shoe Party Boutique is lovin and which one we don't.
All we really need in Jersey is some sun and higher temperatures so we can rock our spring styles!
    
Spring 2011 footwear / shoe trends


Both of these shoe trends are included not because they're new shoe trends for 2011, but because they're shoe trends from 2010 whose elements will still have an impact in 2011. You'll see elements from both remain popular in 2011, particularly in certain countries, as they remain a part of the overall tastes. Clogs, in particular, have peaked as a trend so we're not recommending these two as big investment pieces, but pieces you can hold on to or whose elements shouldn't be disregarded altogether.



Clogs

Clunky wooden shoes. It doesn't sound like the most glamorous or practical of footwear trends, and yet the clog reached new heights in 2010 and will continue to have an impact on 2011's footwear trends. Specifically the brass studding so prevalent will continue to be influential, while the clog's overall popularity will wane.
Chocolate Sole Lounge agrees, clogs are still in the running for spring and a pair or two should definetly be in your closet.  Try a fun multicolored clog like "Rainbow" for only $50 or a sexier richer colored clog/platform like "Cognac" for only $66 from our online boutique.  SHOP NOW  for those and more!

Cognac $66 from 


Rainbow $50 
Kitten heels


Kitten heels are making a somewhat controversial return, spurred on by the trend of '50s and '60s dressing. More comfortable yet less appealing than their higher counterparts, kitten heels can work particularly well when dainty, pointed, and either retro-inspired or minimalist. When it comes to this style in 2011 it's all about the theming. For Spring, kitten heeled sandals are also an option. Chocolate Sole Lounge is not feeling the kitten heel trend and we don't think we will be offering any kitten heel styles in our selections. I only have 2 pair in my collection of designer footwear that I've had for years. Take a look at a pic right from my personal closet.
