Trend Spotting: Floral Appliqué on Sandals

It is getting quite hard to ignore so I have to at least write about it. Seeing it on Diane Kruger made me realize that it should be written about (click here to read article on Diane Kruger’s sandals).

The “IT” I am referring to is the subtle yet continuous stream of sandals with floral appliqués I am seeing. It seems this treatment on thong sandals is gaining quite a popularity lately, and quite so because it is appropriate for the spring and summer seasons. Not as visible as say, studded sandals, but still visible enough to be noticed.

Let’s start with the first pair I ever saw; and this I believe might be the one that started it all – the Giuseppe Zanotti E00389.

Giuseppe Zanotti E00389

This pair costs a whopping US$650. A price like that would already buy you several pairs of shoes! But on a Zanotti, it will only just be worth for one.

Now here are 12 other more pocket-friendly renditions which I didn’t have trouble finding:

Madden Girl Adaline, US$49

Diba Quin Sea, US$89

Diba Very Hot, US$49

Poetic License My Haven, US$73

Vince Camuto Alexi, US$83

Matisse Iris, US$62

Juicy Couture Noelle, US$80

Seychelles Jayne, US$84

Patricia Green Rosette, US$131

GUESS Artly 2, US$68

Born Gladiolus, US$85

Cole Haan Air Halsley, US$148
