15 Cute Spring Shoes Under $30 Spotted at Marshalls - See 20+ In-Store Photos

Cute sandals under $30 at Marshalls
A few days ago I paid a visit to the Marshalls Shoe MegaShop to check out the latest spring styles. I'm not going to say I was blown away by the selection on this particular trip, but I was definitely able to scout out some gems under $30 (some as low as $15). My kind of prices for shoes that will get beaten up during the summer months! Brands I love at this price range include Chinese Laundry, Union Bay, Franco Sarto, Nine West, DV by Dolce Vita, MIA and Steve Madden. I've owned all these brands and have found comfortable, trendy styles that are well made (i.e. won't fall apart after one season). Two new brands that I hadn't seen or noticed before at Marshalls include Aerin and Mila Paoli - scroll down to see some cute floral flip-flops from the former and sporty mesh flats by the latter. I also couldn't resist including a pic of some slides by Kate Spade embellished with chunky rhinestones on clearance for $80, as well as a cute beach bag, crochet maxi dress, and two pretty tops that would be perfect for Memorial Day weekend. It's everything you need to kick off the unofficial start of summer in style!

We're Crushing on Emmy Rossum's Ladylike Chambray Shirt and Skirt Look

Emmy Rossum's casual sophisticated style
We love Emmy Rossum's casual yet sophisticated style. She's given us yet another way to wear a chambray shirt, that wardrobe workhorse that seems to work with everything. Here, she goes for an almost-monochromatic look, tucking her shirt into an indigo blue skirt with of-the-moment sheer detailing, then adds classic black extras. To get her rosy glow, try a sheer lip tint from Drew Barrymore's affordable makeup line, Flower!
