Spring/Summer 2013 Shoe Trends: Ethnic Style

Solange Knowles often rocks head wraps and African textiles. She's like an Erykah Badu for the new millennium, and we admire her edgy, bohemian sense of style. Everything She Wants is also a fan of ethnic accents, and an effortless way to incorporate a funky print or pattern into your look is with a bold handbag or funky pair of flats or wedges.

To get you started, cheap chic U.K. e-tailer, Brantano shoe shop*, has a trendy selection of shoes and bags (from $14 USD) that will infuse a pop of ethnic style into your spring and summer wardrobe.
