This season, think patent leather, think peep toe, think wedges, think cork.

Verandah Shoes on East University Drive in Granger has got the goods. Try Calvin Klein’s espadrille wedge sandals in gold for $100, Via Spiga’s patent leopard-print slides for $125 or Donald J. Pliner’s funky all-cork sandals for $210.

For the more budget-minded, Payless has some very stylish options to choose from, too. There are adorable star-print peep-toe skimmers for $17.99, black-and-white floral print espadrille wedges for $22.99 and red patent flats for $19.99.
