Joan & David Kenley

It’s no secret that shoedish likes snakeskin and other reptile prints and with a summer promising the most bold and bright in reptile prints and skins, it’s nice to see a shoe that sticks to the basics. Not that we won’t be sticking our peds in all the yellows, fuchsia’s, and nectarine reptile prints that Summer 2009 has to offer, but there’s nothing wrong with a neutral and natural print. The Joan & David - Kenley (Natural Multi Reptile) - Footwear, a snake-embossed peep-toe stiletto from Joan & David, may soon be joining the shoedish brood; we’ll set them right next to there genetically engineered brothers and sisters.

Oh my shoe cuteness! Barneys totally got us with that headline. “Calling all shoe addicts!” Do like shoedish and head over to Barneys TODAY to check out the new summer shoe collections. We found these pretty platform wedge fisherman sandals from Bottega Veneta. So what if they’re $1,290; we can totally afford that! The floral-printed leather is reminiscent of that casual Nordic trend currently sweeping the runways. Tulips, coffee shops, and clogs unite…if that’s not too cliché for you. This ones for your Naner Beans!
