Spring officially arrived last Friday when New Yorkers trudged through the fluffy snow, yes, really, and on a Friday too. One week later, thankfully, the New York weather finally matches with the spring retail world as women in New York and other winter countries can start to fantasize about the day they can trade their Wellies for sandals and colorful summer shoes.

Shoes are always making statements and it’s no different for this season.

The Boho sandals are a must have for spring and summer with some of them strappy and featuring platforms, while others are open or peep toe. No matter your preference, Boho sandals will complement any outfit. Some retailers and designers offer affordable Boho sandals are Nine West, Banana Republic, Michael Kors, Brian Atwood, Candies, D&G, Fratelli Rossetti, and Naturalizer.

For those women who enjoy some glamor and luxury, Balmain features stunning strappy sandals with crystal studs, Miu Miu has the classic lines while Christian Louboutin features the decidedly edgier Trash shoes lines.

The weather is still cool enough to write that the current trend is these sleek cult-status Les Chiffoniers PVC leggings. Lesser known leggings run the gamut of textures and colors that are suitable with stilettos or the must-have Boho sandals.

Accessories are must haves for spring and summer and this year, bangles need to be gold but can be paired with the bangles of other colors. Different shapes of bracelets and cuffs are allowed, and even wearing them on both ankles is fun.

Basically, you can wear anything starting from simple chains to chunky bangles, and go on to bracelets or cuffs.

Summer 2009 fashion promises delightfully fun, daring, sleek, and bold accessories, sandals, and shoes for any woman with her personal sense of style.

Yes, spring has sprung, finally! I can't wait to get back into sandals, but it sure won't be any of those with 5" heels, I'd certainly fall right off. :-O

Hi Blue Crush, thanks so much for your recommendation and comment. They're platforms so you won't fall, but there are some super cute flats for ya'...

Hi Amy, thanks for the recommendation and comments. The Spring and Summer styles are really fun, colorful, and bold, especially, those platforms.

It is obvious that some women will wear what will look good on them by choice, while others may choose comfort and practicality instead. It all depends on activities and situations.

Either way, the Spring and Summer styles have flats, heels, and platforms - something for all women.
