Trend Alert: Petal Pumps

beyonce-david-letterman-toni-maticevski-shoes1.jpgEverything’s coming up roses!

From floral frocks to posy-embellished purses, there is no shortage of bouquet-inspired pieces this season.

The freshest crop of fashionable blossoms? Petal-adorned pumps!  And even better, no allergies.

But fear not—these aren’t the twee flip flops with plastic flowers on the toes that you remember from your youth or your Nana’s “old lady”Laura Ashley slippers. No, today’s styles range from sophisticated and elegant to fun and flirty, sometimes even a bit naughty.

They add a bit of feminine flair to your power suit and they’re a perfect pairing with summer’s light and airy fashions.

 300meesterhayek051109.jpgI usually abhor flower-covered articles of clothing — it just says “sofa” to me — but I’m so drooling over Christian Louboutin’s bold and beautiful version (left) and Toni Maticevski’s ultra romantic rosette-bedecked peep-toes, as spied on Beyonce (top right).

Want to feel like you’re perpetually walking in a magnificent garden?  Check out the arrangement of steals ‘n’ splurges after the jump.
