Spring's New "Sling" Bootie

I love these! It's nice to see something fresh and new for spring. My favorites are Alexander wang (love the leopard), Cynthia Rowley and Devi kroell. Read more below about this trend.

Slingback booties are emerging as one of the hottest spring/summer trends. Whether opened up with a peep-toe at Alexander Wang and Alejandro Ingelmo or rounded off with front lacing at Cynthia Rowley and Derek Lam, the trend’s got major backing on the catwalks. Devi Kroell gave her platform slingback version a tropical vibe with candy-colored patent color blocking. Booties have continued to be a powerful force year-round, but are looking fresh again this season when they show a little skin.
