Spring Shoe Trends 2015

Spring has almost sprung and it’s just about time to trade in those knee-high boots for open-toe sandals. In honor of Shoes, Bags and Accessories Week at Ebates, we’ve researched the hottest shoe trends for this spring via POPSUGAR and Fashionisers.com and gathered our favorite pairs that are sure to tighten up your shoe game. Comment below and let us know which of these spring shoes is your favorite!

1. Power Pumps: Steve Madden ‘Whanda’ (Steve Madden) | $149.95
Classic pumps with pointed toes or stiletto heels are still around but even better this spring with added ankle straps or sling backs.

2. Lace It Up: Diane von Furstenberg ‘Susie’ Gladiator Sandal (Nordstrom) | $198
Lace-up sandals and heels make a great statement this spring. Keep it simple with sandals that tie to the ankle, or be bold with heels that tie to the calf or knee.

3. Block Heels: Steve Madden ‘Nolea’ (Steve Madden) | $99.95
Not a fan of stilettos? Give your feet a break with these chunky block heels. If you feel a tad clumsy on skinny heels, this style is perfect for the pump-impaired.

4. Masculine Inspired: Steve Madden ‘Lauurel’ (Steve Madden) | $79.95
Take charge by adding a menswear-inspired element to your outfit. Mix ulta-feminine details with a classic penny loafer for a powerful statement.

5. Flatforms: See by Chloé ‘Robin’ Flatform Sandal (Nordstrom) | $290
The 70’s inspired flatforms are back and better than ever, adding height without compromising comfort.

6. Colorblock: MICHAEL Michael Kors ‘Nadja’ Cross Strap Colorblock Sandal (Nordstrom) | $149.95
Colorblocking is a daring yet simple way to spice up an outfit. If the idea seems intimidating, start simple with a colorblock shoe.

7. Cutout Flats: Steve Madden ‘Euphoria’ (Steve Madden) | $69.95
Cutout flats are far from basic and make for a fun and flirty statement.

8. Woven Details: Joe’s ‘Pearce’ Leather Sandal (Nordstrom) | $134.95
Woven details give a subtle dimension and boho flair to heels and sandals this spring.

Valentine’s Day Gifts For Her Under $50

There are no rules when it comes to Valentine’s Day gifts. As long as there is thought and consideration put into the gift (and you REALLY think she’ll love it), why not divert from the traditional “romantic” territory?

Trendy Items on a Budget: Forever 21

Here at Ebates we are all about shopping on a budget. Obviously. When it comes to women’s clothing it sometimes seems impossible to stay on budget and enjoy some of the more fun trends populating our 1700+ stores. Seriously, who has the funds for that? One of our favorite places to snag some super trendy pieces on a budget is a new addition to Ebates – Forever21. While the quality may not be the same as a Macy’s or Nordstrom, the trendiest pieces may not be something you want to wear in the long term. While the country stays bundled up avoiding the Winter blues, we are eyeing some great Spring trends at F21:

Their dress selection is great – sundresses are versatile an comfortable. They have some boho looks, some geometric looks, some ombre dresses, and a handful of classic items.

Learning to layer is a great goal. One of the most important wardrobe items is great outerwear. Forever 21‘s great prices make building an eclectic and versatile outerwear collection a viable option for someone on a tighter budget. From a play on denim jackets to leather-look sleeves, their collection is trendy and seasonal.

Baubles, baubles, baubles! Forever 21 has a VAST selection of statement necklaces. They do have many more delicate and simple options, but when it comes to getting more bang for your buck, the trendy choices are nearly overwhelmingly tempting.

Forever 21 does offer a great selection of basic jeans, but they also have some very trendy and fun choices like chambray harem pants and tuxedo stripes. Remember – you aren’t paying for quality, but you will get to participate in any and every trend you want.

Forever 21 did recently launch a line of leather shoes – running at about $60 each, they could be amazing quality, but is that worth risking discomfort? Buying shoes online is always tricky. but our team decided to try it out and order a pair, because, hey – $60 leather shoes could just be amazing. Don’t miss out on 2.0% Cash Back on your trendy buys at Forever 21!

Ebates Fall Fashion Guide

Boots, scarves, sweaters, oh my!

With NYFW in full swing, the Ebates team is sharing their favorite fall fashion trends. We have an excellent Double Cash Back sale featuring amazing deals at fashion forward stores so that you can have a fashionable fall without breaking the bank.

Below are some of our favorite trends that we are looking forward to enjoying through the colder months.

Add a little sparkle to your step with some embellished boots. These natural boots have the tinniest cap toe – adding the perfect embellishment to carry these boots from daytime to night. The studs on these boots scream rocker chic and can add a fun edginess to any outfit. These sleek black booties are the epitome of city chic – smooth leather, great sole, shiny detail. These trendy boots bring the embellishment to a whole new place – part of the heel. With unique details like that, these will surely turn heads.

We can all rejoice that comfort appears to be in season, but with a fun twist. Graphic tees and sweatshirts appear to be having a fashionable moment. This flirtatious shirt would look awesome with a variety or pants and skirts. Throw a white button down or chambray shirt under this foxy sweater – instant preppy chic! Pair this ferocious tee with a statement necklace and black skinny jeans for a polished, rockin look. This versatile tiger sweater can be styled in any of the aforementioned way for a look that is trendy and classic.

One of the trends that we are most excited about is leather or faux leather accents. They add an element of surprise to classic shapes and pieces. This jacket combines two classic coat fabrics, leather and denim, to make one amazing piece of outerwear. This blouse is full of beautiful contradictions – preppy tweed meets rocking leather. This gray vegan option takes colorblocking to a new level. A striped boyfriend cardigan gets taken to a whole new level with leather sleaves.

Another trend we are loving is military inspired. Not just camouflage printed items, but all sorts of military inspired cuts are gracing the storefronts this season. The shoulders of this blouse give a subtle military feel. This blouse is much more bold in its inspiration. It surely will make a statement paired with neutral pieces. This Old Navy coat brings some military inspired colors and shapes at a great price. This vest would make an awesome layering piece as the season changes.

These high top embellished kicks create a great contrast between glam and comfort. The neutral colors make them easy to pair. They may be a bit flashy, but the gold+red accents give these sneakers a rose gold look, a unique hue. These high top denim sneakers are super versatile – easily pair them with black jeans, light jeans, skirts or dresses. In one of the Fall’s hottest hues, these burgundy sneakers have some great bling contrasting laces.

While it overlaps with the military inspired pieces, olive seems to warrant a mention of its own. The dark green color scream cool and chic. This studded sweater is a great statement piece. This colorblock coat is as chic as it comes – the olive is holding its own next to the black and gray. Commit to olive with this comfortable and classic shirtdress. Olive makes for a great alternative to other neutrals when it comes to booties.
