Got The Thin End Of The Wedge, Took The Wrong Bend On The Edge

TREND: WEDGE HEELS

Leg-elongating wedges are the fashion world’s go-to summer footwear right now. Perfect for chic summer dressing in the city, not to mention they’re ideal for outdoor events (i.e. you won’t be sinking into the grass), wedge heels are actually comfortable and ultra versatile. The wedge heel turns even a 3-inch platform into a completely wearable pair of sandals. Make like these Cameron, Eva, and, Allesanda and opt for tan, taupe and nude versions to add height to summer dresses and shorts and even skinny jeans a la an Olsen twin. I know my summer wardrobe just wouldn’t be complete without a pair. Now go take on the world with your easy-on-the-feet extra height!

Peace,

1. .RANDOM POPS OF GREEN.

5. .SOAKING UP THE IRISH COFFEE.

8. .FASHIONABLE EMERALD.


9. .PUB-CRAWLING.

Or staying in with Irish car bombs and green beer, whichever.

10. .IRELAND.

Have a happy, safe, and green St. Patrick’s Day!
