Strapped for fashion? So are we and it's in the form of these amazing nude wedges from SENSO!
We love the woven leather sides and the extreme platform height, as well as the edgy straps. The ribbon ties and neutral hue makes it a must-have day time shoe.
It seriously elongates the legs and makes a real statement while still being versatile and a pair that you can wear again and again!
So when it comes to these hot platform wedges, we're more than willing to say we're 'strapped'!
Where to Buy - PixieMarket
Price - $249.00
Who Found It - Idabone was the first to add the 'Senso Platform Wedge' to the Hive.

So ... what exactly is an espadrille, anyway? There's wedges, flats, sandals ... all claiming to be an espadrille!
Usually made of cotton or canvas fabric on the upper, espadrilles are also being seen made in (faux) leather and other materials. What makes an espadrille is the rope or hemp detailing used on the bottom portion.
Fashion History NewsFlash!: Espadrille is derived from the Catalan word esparto, which is a strong wiry Mediterranean grass used to make the rope found on the earliest espadrilles.
See? You learn something new everyday! And now, as a tribute to this classic summer shoe, check out our slideshow of all types of espadrilles!
