But still, while I was cruising the online shoe stores for spring shoes, I couldn't help but fall for these flowery platform pumps from ZiGiny. In addition to the mini garden on their vamps, these sexy pumps feature several of the upcoming season's top shoe trends, including sky-high heels, an orangeish shade, and thick platform soles.

Also available in black, these suede shoes ring up at just under $100 per pair.
