Is 2019's never-ending winter getting you down? Because same.

Tiffany Hsu, Fashion Buying Director, MyTheresa
"This brand is quite a new addition to the Mytheresa portfolio, as we've only stocked them since this S/S 19 season. The styles immediately became one of my favorites for the spring/summer season, especially this sexy sandal with a twist since it’s also minimalistic, which is very now."
"Calf-length boots are the next big thing, and I fell in love especially with this style by Saint Laurent. It’s all about tucking in your pants, but it also has a great transitional length for every season, basically. If you don’t have a python print yet, you better catch up quickly as this is one of the main trends for S/S 19."
Chrissy Rutherford, Senior Fashion Editor, Harper's Bazaar
"In a sea of a million footwear brands, new designer Amina Muaddi's shoes really stand out. Her signature heel shape puts a twist on the simple silhouettes. This particular shoe is exactly what I'd want to wear out for a night of dancing."
Dani Michelle, Celebrity Stylist
"Everyone needs a good sneaker, and what's better than this unique one? PVC shoes can be tricky, but because it's a sneaker, you could add a cool printed sock and wear this casually or even dressed up. I can see it now—with a cool sweater, skirt, cute socks, and these shoes hitting NYFW."
