It’s ballerina time!
Wednesday, May 13th, 2009
Finally the summer is here! It’s time to change the closet, out with warm jackets and boots to make space for colours, dresses and summer shoes. And what is more perfect than a pair of ballerinas while we are awaiting the real warmth?
This year they rule the world, soft, 
colourful, happy, comfortable and anti-slippery:
they are the plastic ballerinas. Made of a very soft rubber, with a practical suede inner sole, they are right for all ages and for all kind of occasions like: beach, pool or a walk in town. This rubber shoe trend has already been created and known by many designers, from flats to high heels. Some of the most famous ones are the brazilian brand Melissa and Marc Jacobs.
High heels or no heels!

The fashion trends for this summer are certainly enough to make everyone happy! It seems that all kind of styles are “in”. If we say ethnic, bohemic, grecian, fringes, butterflies, romantic styles,graphic patterns, the 80′s look- all you think yes, yes yes and yes…these are all very fashionable styles this summer. And what about colours? It might be easier to mention one colour that isn’t fashionable this summer…
Also for the shoe section you can find many different styles and colours.
But what about the heels? Have you noticed that this summer you either go high heels or no heels? Anyway here in Florence,Italy, you can see this contrast very clearly.
Large heels, cone shaped heels, stiletto heels, wedges they are all high. Fortunatly the platform is a big thing this summer so even if the heels are high at least they are more comfortable.
Ballerinas, gladiator sandals, toe thong sandals in different styles but all very flat. This summer you can find very elegant flats with accessories like fringes, jewelery, patent leather etc. that gives them more importance so one could also wear them for dressed-up occasions.
And what about you, do you go high or low?
