The What Friend Picks S/S 2016 — Shoes She Covets

Now that winter is officially over, it's time to reshoe the clotheshorse. We put an email out to 50 friends of The What to show us a few coveted spring shoes in her closet or on her wishlist. We tried to feature high and low, in both heels and price. Admittedly, we did a lousy job on the low side (same thing happens when we're shopping) but it costs nothing to covet, right? Here are our favorites. AQUAZZURA might be a new brand on the block, launched in 2011 by Colombian born designer Edgardo Osorio, but it was mentioned by many (Shirin, Keeley, Ilysa, Keyley, Lyndsey, and Carolyne) including David Rosen's Top 5 Bestsellers in the Barney's Shoe Department in Manhattan. "Pon Pon" Ankle Tie Stiletto $825. "Pon Pon" Ankl e Tie Block Heel $795. Amy found a more economical version of a red sandal here, which has a similar flavor minus the price. The Sassey Fringe Sandal is $97Carolyne's Aquazzura Christy Point Toe Black Suede Flat $675 Ilysa's favorite Aquazzura Fringed Suede Sandal $895
