On the very same day that the zipper broke on my "Kayden" utility boots from Target (purchased April 2009), I received an email from the folks at Wanted Shoes offering me a complimentary pair of shoes for review. I took it as a sign, and immediately settled upon a near-identical style to replace my beloved Kaydens called the "Montana" boot in tan textile. The red zipper detail on the back gives them a hint of distinction. After one long walk they were broken in; now I wear them every day, the perfect shoe to transition from winter to spring. My only complaint would be the sizing: My last pair of Wanted Shoes - the "Ballard" riding boots - were a size 9 (they don't offer half sizes) whereas I had to get a size 10 in the Montana. And yet, lined up sole to sole, the Montana 10 is the exact same length as the Ballard 9. Improved consistency in sizing would benefit this great brand.

The "Montana" boot is available in black, brown or tan for $49.99 (down from $69.99) at wantedshoes.com.

The BCBGeneration "Zuton" booties are $69.50 (down from $139) at Macy's. The look for less is now $34 (down from $79.99) - think you can tell them apart? Click either image to check your guess.

Yesterday I stopped by my local Gap store to pick up some City Flats, which were unfortunately sold out in my size. It's entirely understandable considering these stylish shoes are just $39.50 full price and my store had certain colors marked down as low as $9.97. Can't be beat.

Since I was there, I took a gander at the latest spring offerings. My store was loaded with new spring basics like soft tees, draped cotton tops, fresh denim and updated pant silhouettes in mostly neutral hues like blush, white, tan and stone. What kept things interesting was - you guessed it - pops of color, specifically coral. That color is everywhere.

Many styles were already on sale; I picked up a white button down blouse for $30. I was really impressed by a couple of amazing pieces that looked totally designer - an abstract blue floral dress, tribal print shorts and asymmetric gray brushstroke dress were all standout pieces, especially for the price. The handbags, which I've been ogling online, looked great in person too.
