The Northwest’s spring weather changes as often as an SNL cast member, alas and alack.  This week, Portland’s forecast has seen hail, rain, and sun– often in the same day.  With such changeable weather, I can’t very well bring out the summer sandals yet.  I’ve been yearning for the full-foot-exposure days of summer, when my feet will finally have the chance to  escape their (admittedly adorable) prison of fully-enclosed shoes.   Is there some middle road between winter boots and summer sandals?

Why yes!  Part of the Brave New World Spring 2009 collection, Faryl Robin’s new Yetta wedge is the perfect springtime shoe for me.  With a 3″ wedge, these beauties can handle nearly any puddle in Stumptown.  The butter-soft black leather upper will complement any outfit.  The cutest aspect of these shoes has to be the peep-toe.  I may be going overboard with the body part personification here, but I can just imagine my toes soaking up the sunshine and fresh air, thrilled to have a window out of their winter imprisonment.
