Smart Snakes

Snakes are slithering into style for the next couple of seasons. Yes, Summer and Fall are going to be filled with serpentine finishes on accessories. Alright, enough with the alliteration but the reptile print has emerged from its cave and is subtly replacing the feline prints of last year.

Steve Madden has "Candyce" ($149.95), a stacked espadrille embossed in smooth python. The T-strap style has hardware buckles to ruff up the summer look of this 5-inch wedge.

Slithering on your waist, Urban Outfitters has their super sneaky "Wrap Snake Belt" ($24) that constricts the waist and bites closed with a snake buckle.

Silver snake coloring for BCBGirls was the way to move for the "Onella" ($78.95) sandal. Featured on Nordstrom’s most recent catalogue, the sporty wedge has an urban sneaker style. And it's another heel with a T-strap front (hint hint) and a streetwise rubber sole.

Sterling silver "Wrap Snake Necklace" ($50) by Betsey Johnson came out early Holiday 07 season. The head and tail, which clasp the necklace has diamonds showing as the eyes as well as filling the tail.



Alright, sorry snakes, cats out of the bag, as much as I love the snake trend, I still love certain cat pieces.
