Spring Trends You Need To Try: The Block Heel

Shoes: Franco Sarto

As a city commuter, I love my flats just as much I love heels. Sadly, with all those steps to and from the subway, to those tricky subway grates and pretty cobblestone streets, long ventures in sky high heels is incredibly tough in Manhattan. However, the recent uptick in super stylish block-heeled shoes has made it easy for us New Yorkers to stroll around the city with an extra boost in height. Also, while these heels may seem a bit bulky, most styles are pretty lightweight which is greatly appreciated when the event or day requires lots of walking.

I'm thrilled that this comfortable yet ultra-chic style is a big trend this spring and can finally forget about the classic shoe swap we're all guilty of post-commute, While comfort is a big plus to this style of shoe, I love that it can easily pair with both casual or dressy ensembles.

Whether you're a fan of the mule, a simple two piece sandal or an extravagant evening appropriate style, here are some of my favorite shoes I'm currently shopping and sporting this spring/summer season --
