4 must-have shoe styles for spring + summer

Happy Thursday, loves! First, apologies for the sporadic posting and occasional radio silence these past few weeks. Life has been all kinds of hectic and I definitely plan on filling you in on things soon! We've also been doing a ton of work on the house after a rather extended period of laziness holiday/winter hiatus and I spend a good portion of my time covered in paint from one project or another. What I'm working on usually ends up on Snapchat, so make sure to follow me there (username: allycog) for sneak peeks.

Anyway, on to today's post, which is all about four of my favorite shoe trends for spring: block heels, slides, gladiators and lace-up everything! I've been on somewhat of a shoe-buying spree lately and I've found so many good pairs that are cute, affordable and will easily take you through the warm weather months. This pair in black, which technically fits into three out of the four categories, is my favorite and and as soon as it stops raining here in D.C. I know I'll be wearing them non-stop.

Below are some of my favorites. And just a note -- a lot of these are available in multiple colors so be sure to check on the site if you love the style!
