The most intense moments of theater are right before the curtain rises. Seems nobody knows that better than Brian Atwood. The master of dramatic footwear always puts on a show, but his swingy black and gold peep-toes seem particularly poised to gather an audience. I’ll take center stage in these heels no matter how crowded the room, because all eyes will be waiting for these curtains to move.

A recent N.Y.C. heatwave has me feeling like the universe hit the fast-forward button on spring. If we’re skipping through time, I’d prefer a warp of a different kind. Proenza Schouler’s retro red and brown wedges bring me back to another era. Come summer, these sandals will transport my denim to the decade of shag carpet and Studio 54—making me nostalgic for the past, but eager for the future!

From Jessica Feakins:
Christian Louboutin Balota strappy sandals. Oh, if I only had $1195 to spare…
The spring collection from designer Alberta Ferretti’s contemporary line was a sea of chinoiserie. But even among the bright cheongsam dresses, printed conical hats and jewel toned silk playsuits emblazoned with fire-breathing dragons, these shoes really stood out. The contrasting prints and ample platforms are equal parts Eastern promise and 1960s poolside chic. Or, to put it another way, Beijing meets Palm Springs.

Not long after the Tribute heel made its debut at the YSL spring 2007 show, it was spotted on the famous feet of every celebrity from Jennifer Lopez to Katie Holmes. This season’s Tribute T-strap takes stiletto-lovers to the same dizzying heights (thanks to a platform heel measuring 5.3 inches) with an opulent new spin—sexy python skin in an iridescent hue. My advice? Walk tall from the car to the party and spend your night sitting pretty.

Although I’m Canadian, I’ve always identified with Ralph Lauren’s American aesthetic, which the designer has said was heavily influenced by accidental style icon Katharine Hepburn. These sandals, made from tempered Italian leather and accented with brass grommets and buckles to achieve that Ralph Lauren “heritage” look, are the last word in tomboy chic. It’s as though the designer took a page right out of Hepburn’s summer style guide. That is, if she’d cared enough about fashion to write one.

From Alejandra:
These Alexander McQueen booties are definite must-haves because they go with almost everything. And they rock!
Before I make an investment in a new pair of spikes, I take the time to consider where I could see myself wearing them. When I laid eyes on these patent leather sandals my first thought was, ‘Perfect for a night out in Paris.’ After a few minutes spent examining their every detail—the mesh inserts, the demure buttons, the kicky tassles—I found myself wondering, ‘Where’s my passport?’ Sold!

From Nicole:
The tie-dye print is on-trend, the color is fantastic and let’s face it—they’re Louboutins! I’m obsessed. They’d be my #1 Spring shoe, if money were no object.
Forget the flats—if I’d been a member of the Roman Empire I would have paired my palla with these edgy espadrilles. The gladiator-inspired style is trademark Ghesquière, the nautical colors are perfectly on-trend and the just-short-of-vertiginous wedge is totally (gasp!) wearable. Whether storming the beach, conquering a backyard bbq, or taking in an outdoor screening of Roman Holiday, I’ll be slipping these on to tacke almost every summer event.
