Reality-television-star-turned-actress Kristin Cavallari has taken up yet another occupation: shoe designer.

The 26-year-old celebrity has been keeping herself busy wearing so many hats, doting mother and loving wife included, that she couldn’t help but point out her jetsetting lifestyle by tweeting, “Feel like I live on planes. Happy to be home in Chicago with my peanut”. There is nothing damsel-in-distress about this woman.

Just a few days ago, the mom-of-one launched her 12-style shoe collection in collaboration with Chinese Laundry at the Magic Convention in Las Vegas.

Kristin wore an Alice + Olivia lace skirt styled with an Elizabeth and James crop top and blue Copertina pumps from her collection. The actress kept her makeup simple and fresh to complement her all-white ensemble and healthy golden tresses.

The Alice + Olivia ‘Rei’ lace mini skirt is box pleated, with a silk placket and back zip closure. It is made of cotton and nylon and lined with a silk and spandex fabric mix. We love how the skirt sits on Kristin’s waist at a perfect height relative to the crop top, making the outfit look sexy yet classy.

The beautiful lace pattern perfectly compliments the sheer paneling of the crop top. This flouncy lace skirt is versatile enough for a casual day at the park or a semi-formal event, paired with a button-down top and a structured blazer.
