Island-Inspired Wedges

The Rupert Sanderson Resort 2012 Collection Will Color Your World

The heat is on with the Rupert Sanderson Resort 2012 collection, which is perfect for warm summer nights out. Having a little something for every type of woman, the exquisitely colored heels and wedges are perfect for either a day at the beach or a night out on the town.

Sanderson describes his collection as "Caribbean meets Kenya" -- a perfect way to sum up the patterned fabric wedges, bright corals, turquoises and funky patterns. It's a wonder anyone can walk in wedges so high, but this gorgeous Resort line is just one example of style over comfort because these heels are fierce!
