We must admit, this snowy winter has been discouraging for our shoe wardrobe. Last week's near-death experience involving narrow heels, a misplaced pile of snow, and a mutt almost had us giving up on the outdoors altogether.

With so much snow on the ground, it has been an Ugg kind of year. But the recent thaw has us in a spring shoe mood.

Put your faith in a pair of Belle by Sigerson Morrison shoes. The favorite line of celebrities and well, us, has finally found a home in Minnesota -- at Pumpz & Company.

From rich leather thongs and platforms with the soon-to-be-hot ikat weave detail to gladiator sandals to these peep-toe mid-heel pumps with cutouts, which you can wear now with tights, in March with skinny jeans and all summer long with dresses and shorts.

Plus the price is right because the collection ranges from $150 up to $395. Luxury without poverty -- that's a step in the right direction.
