IN SEARCH OF THE PERFECT WEDGE

Hello dear readers, Crissie here from bug&Bear! Over the past few seasons I've noticed a trend developing - the return of the wedge. And the chunky sandals have been speaking to me in a whole new way this spring, begging and pleading that I find the perfect pair, a little extra style when added to a short summer skirt or pair of wide legged jeans....
The only question - which wedge is right for me? Does it have a bit of attitude like a wedge of grapefruit? Maybe a it's a little bit sweet, or should I just stick with a classic?

What do you think loves? Which wedge is right for you?

    Ohh I like the Seychelles a lot! Target has a nearly identical version of the Dolce Vitas for only $30, which will save you enough for a 2nd pair! :) (http://www.target.com/Mossimo-Black-Pilar-Strappy-Wedge/dp/B0041IK96W/ref=sc_qi_detailbutton)

    Kenneth Cole (the Reaction line) are the MOST comfortable wedges ever! I've had three pairs! And they're adorable :)

    That's funny that posted about wedges--I actually just purchased the last 2 pairs but I have the steve madden pair in nude. I think they will be an absolute essential this summer! You should peep Target, they just did a collab with Dolce Vita and have some adorable pairs AND super affordable :)

    I have always loved wedges so much more than the classic pump, so I'm overjoyed that the trend is popping up all over this season! And the "tangy" anthropologie wedges are too cute!

    Um, ALL OF THEM! I have actually only purchased one pair this season since I have been collecting them for the past 10 years. This years pair was nude, well nude after religious applications of tanner...

    I am searching for the perfect pair as well. I have found several that I like, but because of the strap coming up high on the foot, they sometimes don't do much for my leg. They've been harder to find that what I planned. Maybe this weekend....I like the ones next to the oranges best! :)

    Ohhh I love #4! That camel color is perfect and I'm already thinking of all the outfits I can coordinate with it. Love wedges - so much more comfortable (and stable) for my feet :) http://la-lalinh.blogspot.com

    I love the second one - I love the detail of the leather going over the sole of the shoe. I just got a pair like that and am loving them! Next, I want to get a bright color pair - think colbalt blue!
    Much love,

    I love wedges! Basically because you get the heel effect without compromising comfort. Loving the "tangy" ones and the "classic and fresh" ones!

    personally I love this pair from J.Crew. Fabulously comfy, all day wearable, and very chic height. I have, and adore, the toffee.

    I third the Kenneth Cole Reaction line vote - they are the most comfortable wedges I've worn. I had a Guess pair that were pretty comfy too.
