What do you think? ...Read more]]> We recently featured Jennifer Lopez in a pair of lovely Dior booties and recreated her chic and casual look. Jennifer has been spotted in the same boots again while out in NYC and her look is just as great this time around. Here Jennifer pairs her Dior boots with a pair of plaid pants, casual navy sweater, drapey scarf and big structured bag. I kind of like her casual ensemble here as well. Let’s take a look.

What do you think? The more that I look at her pants the more I like this ensemble.  These boots were a pretty risky choice to pair with such a casual and relaxed pant, but she really made it work. I would have chosen a loafer, but Jen’s choice really amps up the look a bit. Take a peek at her previous ensemble in these booties and see how they compare.

In this shot she goes for the casual look as well. I love how she keeps her top as neutral as the boots here. However, the most recent look is a bit more interesting and fun. I found these Dior booties at BlueFly in the same shade as Jennifer’s. Let’s check them out in detail.

What do you think of the lovely details of this ‘Guetre’ boot? I only wish that my shoe budget could facilitate them. Take it all in and tell us what you think of Jennifer’s look here. Would you make these boots your next shoes?

What do you think of Kim’s look here? I like her dress and I like the shoes, but I ...Read more]]> Kim Kardashian was spotted in Miami while on the hunt for a new location for DASH. The reality star was seen wearing a pair of dark brown Pierre Hardy wedge sandals with a simple tan dress and tan clutch. I loved the look that we featured Kim in yesterday, but this ensemble seems to be lacking something. Check out Kim’s neutral look.

What do you think of Kim’s look here? I like her dress and I like the shoes, but I just think that paired together they;re a bit boring and bland. I appreciate a neutral color palette, but I think her look lacks some interest and detail that would have made it better. A bold statement necklace touch of blue or an ornately beaded bag would have been better accessory choices.

I did love the look that we featured Kim in yesterday. Take a peek and see how they compare.

Do you see what I mean? Kim looks amazing in a bit of color. She should play up her attributes as opposed to draping them in bland gathered fabric. Now, let’s get to the most important part, the shoes. I really like the interesting Pierre Hardy heels that Kim chose. She has been wearing some super luxurious yet wearable wedges lately, and this Pierre Hardy pair fits in with the rest of her choices well.

While I couldn’t find them in the deep black/brown color, but I did find them in grey and tan at LuisaViaRoma.

Pierre Hardy Suede Buckled Sandal Wedges in Grey USD630

Pierre Hardy Leather Buckled Sandal Wedge USD630

I think this tan and black mixed option would have been a bit more interesting with Kim’s outfit. Nonetheless, she looks great. So, what do you think of Kim’s look above? Is it hot, or a bit boring?

I think that the nude color of these heels work ...Read more]]> Kim Kardashian was recently spotted at LAX airport in a lovely pair of nude Giuseppe Zanotti wedge sandals. I usually find Kim’s outfits a bit predictable and boring, but I really love this one. Kim pairs her Giuseppe Zanotti’s with a cobalt blue maxi skirt, white tank and long beaded necklaces. She tops the look with a pair of aviator sunglasses and a relaxed denim jacket. Check out her travel look.

I think that the nude color of these heels work perfectly with Kim;s bright blue skirt. I like the high waist of the skirt and her long necklaces add a great bohemian touch. Her long wavy locks and aviators finish the look of with a summery feel. To me this is a perfect go to spring look and ideal for traveling in comfort and style. I can’t think of a pair of heels that would have worked better here.

Now, let’s take a closer look at these wedges and see if you agree.

Giuseppe Zanotti Wedge Sandals USD627

So, what do you think? I found these metallic detailed cork wedge sandals at Farfetch, Zappos and LuisaViaRoma. However, they’re priced the lowest at FarFetch at $627USD. I love neutral sandals like these because you can pair them with so many different ensembles. I could see these with everything from jeans to a maxi skirt like Kim chose.

So, now that you’ve examined Kim’s look as well as these awesome spring and summer heels what do you think? Would you wear this ensemble? Do you love it as much as we do? Take a look and tell us how you feel.

She was recently spotted in a pretty pair of Giuseppe Zanotti cap toe pumps outside of ‘Good Morning America’ in NYC, and the look suited her perfectly. Check it out.

Doesn’t she look very pretty and polished here? What do yo think of these contrast toe pumps from Giuseppe Zanotti? I could see them paired with other prints and patterns like blue and pink plaids or maybe even an orange floral. Envision these paired with a coral colored jumper or sundress. Pretty huh?

Rachel also wore these heels in the February issue of Glamour Magazine. In this ultra sexy shoot Rachel sports the pink and white version of these pumps. I really love the color of this pair and could see them with endless spring and summer ensembles. Pumps are definitely the most versatile and effortless heel out there. Take a look at Rachel’s Glamour Magazine look.

See what I mean when I say ultra sexy? Rawrr. These pumps have such a classic Marilyn Monroe feel that works so well with Rachel’s innocent but sexy appeal.

While I couldn’t find either of the exact airs that Rachel wore above, I did find this equally as pretty cream and pink version at FarFetch.

Giuseppe Zanotti Contrast Toe Pump USD463

So, what do you think? Are you still into the cap toe trend? If so, would you sport these beautiful pumps? Check out all of Rachel McAdams looks here and tell us how you feel.

Jennifer wore these Jimmy Choo Kiln crystal and suede peep toe booties in nude for her guest appearance. We’ve actually spotted her in the fuchsia pink color of these very same Jimmy booties before, at the iHeart Radio Music Festival in Las Vegas last September to be exact:

Jennifer wore these Jimmy Choo Kiln crystal and suede peep toe booties in nude for her guest appearance. We’ve actually spotted her in the fuchsia pink color of these very same Jimmy booties before, at the iHeart Radio Music Festival in Las Vegas last September to be exact:

Jennifer Lopez (with her signature J.Lo smoldering facial expression) arrives for an appearance at “The Late Show with David Letterman” studios in New York City on January 30, 2012

I have issues with that unnecessarily fur-trimmed beige coat Jennifer Lopez is wearing (it has fur… in the pleats!) but with the shoes, of course I have none. If there’s one shoe style that Jimmy Choo has got on lock, it’s the jeweled evening sandal. And this Jimmy Choo ‘Kiln’ is the jeweled evening sandal perfected.

Just check out those huge crystal rocks sewn on the suede and mesh vamp! :

Jimmy Choo Kiln crystal and suede peep toe booties, $998.00 (was $1,995.00)

These $1,995.00 Jimmy Choo Kiln peep toe booties from the Fall/Winter 2011 collection are now marked down to $998.00 at Jimmy Choo. I can just imagine Jennifer Lopez thinking, “Ooh, these shoes are 50% off! I can get them in two colors!”.

But of course, that’s Jennifer Lopez to whom $998.00 is probably just a drop in the bucket. For many of us, we need less expensive options. And thankfully, we’ve got these studded, beaded, mesh, satin and suede styles from more affordable shoe brands:

1. Penny Loves Kenny Journey metal-studded strappy pump, $72.24 (was $84.99)
2. Zigi Girl Epiphany jewel and rhinestone studded satin and mesh sandal, $89.99
3. Chinese Laundry Hands Up ruffled dot mesh peep toe pump, $89.99 (was $99.99)

Jimmy Choo also just recently came out with a non-jeweled version of the ‘Kiln’ for their latest collection called ‘Kerfield”. See if you like that version more at Bluefly.

I love everything about Gwen’s look here. It’s no shocker though, because I almost always adore Gwen’s outfits. She looks so fresh and fun yet classy.

I’ll call her look here Chanel meets the Ramones. Her black and white jacket has a sophisticated feel, but her black leggings and open toe booties add a hefty dose of rock and roll inspired edge. Let’s take a closer peek.

What do you think? Do you love Gwen’s look as much as I do? I really don’t think that she could have paired a better boot with this look. I searched high and low for the exact same pair that Gwen rocks here, but I  couldn’t find them anywhere. I did, however, find them in lilac and lavender at ShopBop and grey python at FarFetch. Check out these options and imagine the possibilities. It will amaze you.

Maison Martin Margiela Ankle Boots in Grey Python USD873

Imagine these babies with a pair of black skinny pants, a fresh and breezy white top, big bold sunglasses, and plenty of wrist candy. Pretty awesome huh?

Maison Martin Margiela Ankle Boots in Lilac USD835

Maison Martin Margiela Ankle Boots in Lavender USD835

Are these more colorful options great or what? I could see them with an all black or neutral blush tones ensemble and fun statement jewelry. They have such a great fun runway vibe that I can’t get over.

So, how do you feel about these boots in general? Is the black a better color for this style? Tell us if you’d rock these Maison Martin Margiela boots like Gwen.

LeAnn Rimes catches a flight out of LAX Airport on Los Angeles, California on January 29, 2012

For her flight out of Los Angeles, LeAnn Rimes wore a grey python-print sleeveless sundress with a neon yellow trim. She accessorized her look with round oversized sunglasses and finished it off with these espadrille wedge sandals with a buckled back strap and a fully covered vamp:

Balenciaga wrapped back-strap espadrille wedge sandals, $508.00 to $695.00

LeAnn Rimes’ dress is the type that’s typically paired with slim, strappy sandals so I love that she didn’t go the usual route and went for these more interesting covered vamp wedges instead.

LeAnn Rimes’s Balenciaga espadrille wedges can cost as much as $695.00 at some online retailers but you can find them listed at $508.00 and $512.00 at Farfetch. You’ll find a few sizes under this Farfetch link and a few more under this one. You can also find these sandals at Neiman Marcus and at Barneys. Those last two retailers have these sandals listed at its most expensive price but they do have complete sizes in stock.

For a nice look-for-less option, check out these tie-back cork wedges from Diba with the same high-cut covered vamp:

Diba Dont Go tie-back cork wedges, $51.99 to $65.00

The back strap on these wedges aren’t fixed so you can tie them in front for a cute bow effect if you want.

You can find the olive and taupe colors of these sandals at Heels where you can also get them at 20% off with the code “BETATEST“. More sizes and more colors are available at Endless.

While I find myself smitten with Zoe’s shoe choice here, I think she could have chosen a much better dress for the occasion. Let’s take a look at her ensemble.

Do you see what I mean? Zoe has an amazing body and great skin tone, which I wish she had shown off a bit more. While I appreciate the craftsmanship and artistic value of this gown I think Zoe could have done better. Imagine these heels paired with a strapless or even long sleeved black lace gown.  Even a more form fitting nude option would have been more complementary to Zoe’s look here.

I searched high and low for these beautiful shoes with no luck. However, I did find a couple of similar styles from Giuseppe Zanotti that would be great for evening wear and formal occasions. Check ‘em out.

Giuseppe Zanotti Metallic Leather Peep Toe Mary Jane Pumps USD850

I found these lovely metallic Mary Janes at Saks Fifth Avenue. I could see these paired with several colors such as black, red, or white. They would work with evening gowns as well as cocktail dresses or maybe a pair of fun shimmery pants.

Giuseppe Zanotti Colorblock Patent Leather Peep Toe Pump USD750

This is also a very similar and fun style. I would love to see Zoe in this style paired with a black or turquoise dress. They would also look nice with black skinny trousers or even denim.

What do you think of Zoe Saldana’s look at the recent SAG Awards? Do you like her gown and shoe combo or do you feel like she could have went with a better dress? Tell us what you think!

She paid homage to the King of Pop with this Michael Jackson-inspired outfit she wore to the show:

Rihanna walks the black carpet at the premiere of Cirque du Soleil’s Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California on January 27, 2012

Rihanna paired a black shirt with skin-tight black jean leggings and topped it off with a studded and graphic-printed black leather jacket. She accessorized her look with black molded cat-eye sunglasses and spiked t-strap sandals. Her look may be head-to-toe black but it is definitely far from being plain and boring.

We featured Rihanna’s sandals exactly on Christmas Day last year so we instantly recognized them as the ‘Lady Max’ from the Christian Louboutin Spring/Summer 2012 collection:

Christian Louboutin Lady Max spike t-strap sandal, $1,495.00

Aside from the silver metal spikes, the diamond parts of the straps on these sandals are also studded with pave crystals. The ‘Lady Max’ is a slim and slender stiletto but it is packed with details and oozing of sexiness.

For something so skinny, the Christian Louboutin Lady Max spike t-strap sandal retails for a hefty $1,495.00. If you think these will be your next shoe splurge, you can shop for them at Neiman Marcus and at Barneys.

The sandal is called the ‘Armour’, and it definitely makes a statement and suits Katy’s wild sense of style. The ‘Armour’ is from the Fall 2011 collection and is only available at Alexander McQueen. Let’s check out Katy Perry in this bold shoe.

What do you think of Katy’s look here? I really like her with this hair color, but I think she could have found a better dress to pair with these statement making shoes. While she looks amazing in this one, I would have liked to see her in something a bit more fun and interesting. Shall we look at these heels a bit closer?

Alexander McQueen ‘Armour’ USD1699

Alexander McQueen ‘Armour’ USD1699

Pretty exciting, huh? I love the curvy lines of the heel and bracketed metal details. It reminds me of Terminator, but in a really sexy way. I’d like to see them paired with a silver mini-dress, or even something with a bold black and white print.

Nicki Minaj also wore these heels to the 2011 American Music Awards. Nicki’s look was typically over the top, and she paired the ‘Armour’ with a fluffy green gown, and trademark pink hair. Check out Nicki in the ‘Armour’.

What do you think of Nicki’s look here? Pretty bold, right? I admire Nicki and Katy for doing their own thing, and I really admire them for rocking these sweet shoes. Take it all in and tell us how you feel about the ‘Armour’ from Alexander McQueen. Do you like them?
