Luxe vs. Less: The Gladiator Wedge
Two of the season's hottest shoe styles - namely, the towering wedge and the mighty gladiator - have joined forces to create one devastatingly fierce shoe: The Gladiator Wedge. Every designer seems to have their own spin on this trend, but we are especially drawn to the Blanea Wedge (bottom right) from Forever 21 for it's rich brown color, balanced design and perfect pricetag of $24.80. Great for pairing with summer shorts, skirts and dresses. And if you see yourself investing in this trend, try Lauren by Ralph Lauren's rendition (top left) for $111.60, available at Zappos.com
