Clogs are one of my favorite styles of shoes. Maybe it’s the crazy shoe love coming out in spades, or perhaps it’s the Swedish heritage. Whatever it is, I’ve had tons of pairs of clogs over my lifetime, and generally have somewhere between 4 and 10 pairs in my shoe wardrobe at any one time. I don’t know – it may be an issue.
I will say this – if loving clogs is wrong, I don’t want to be right. Whatever, I have issues.
Pretty soon, the leaves are going to start changing colors, and the air will turn crisp. Apples will be in abundance, and pumpkin spice everything will take over our lives. One of the greatest joys of Fall are all of the cute boots that we get to wear.
Be ready for the new Fall season with this year’s hottest boot trends. Take a look at this selection of fabulous boots for fall we’ve gathered up for you. The best part – they’re all under $35. UM HELLO! You’re not even going to HAVE to choose which ones you want. You can afford them all! Well, at least a couple pairs.
Can you believe that it’s almost fall already? While, yes, I do realize it’s the middle of July, school starts in a lot of areas in less than a month. Whoa!
That really almost doesn’t matter, though. Know why? Moccasins and loafers are a great style of shoe for the summer. Most of us don’t think that way, but they are. I know I always think of loafers with jeans and like, a blazer. But no! They’re more flexible than that. We should start thinking of loafers and moccasins more in the way we think of boat shoes.
I am a sucker for a canvas knock around shoe. You know, like Keds that look so adorable with pedal pushers and clam diggers? They look super cute with shorts or a summer dress, as well. Or Vans and Converse that are a perfect fit for your boyfriend jeans and overalls.
You know what I like best about canvas shoes though? You can toss them in the washing machine when they get icky. Whether it’s a trip to the beach or tromping through the mud, they can be cleaned easily. That’s a total win-win. These are a few of our favorite canvas shoes for summer.
During the summer, we seem to live in flip flops. A lot of people do during other times of the year, as well. But during summer – there’s nary a real shoe to be seen! At least it feels that way a lot of the time.
We’re featuring some of our favorite flip flops – both casual ones that are great for the pool – and dressy ones. Dressy flip flops. I never thought I’d say those words.
Style on Main is all about fashion and beauty for real people. Let’s face it – we’re usually shopping at Old Navy, Kohl’s, and Macy’s. We love the capsule collections that Target releases, and we stayed up all night to get an item from the Lilly Pulitzer/Target collab. It’s okay!
Sometimes, though, you just have to say eff it, and splurge. I may have had a $500 handbag in my shopping cart and a credit card in my trembling hands over the weekend, before I was talked down from the ledge. These are a few of the shoes that are totally splurge-worthy! Rawr.

When I was a kid, my grandmother used to wear espadrilles when she mopped the tile. I always thought that was so strange, but I guess her reasoning was that the twine made her steadier. I don’t know, seems like a weird reason to me. Anyway, her espadrilles were these great platform shoes from the late 1970s or early 1980s that she got on a trip to Mexico. And I thought they were awesome.
What’s old is new again, and vintage retro has been having a heyday for a minute now. Espadrilles seemed to have been kind of overlooked in this renaissance, though. Never fear. Espadrilles are back in a big way, baby. Each of these pairs is under $75, with most under $50.
