Givenchy debuted these zip-front High-heeled Sandals several years ago and fashionistas everywhere quickly snapped up a pair! Fast forward a few years later and these babies are still hot! But let’s be real – we don’t all have $568 to drop on a new pair of shoes! So we’re turning to one of our favorite contemporary shoe brands for an equally chic alternative. These Kelsi Dagger Giulia sandals are quite similar with the tan leather, front zip and adjustable slingback strap. Instead of a stiletto heel, the Kelsi Dagger shoe features a sturdy wrapped heel. And it retails for...  Read More..

It sounds crazy to be thinking about shopping for swimwear on the day of a snowstorm but there’s no time like the present to start thinking ahead, right? While warm, beach days are not in our near future, we can at least plan ahead and pick up some fun summer swimsuits now. And Target has some great (and unbelievably low-priced) options! While other swimsuit designers are charging prices that are the equivalent of a pair of high-end shoes, Target’s prices are so low you can and should stock up on multiple items. We’d rather save our money for those splurges on items we’ll...  Read More..

Casadei’s pre-Fall 2013 collection centers on its Blade Heel Pump, a sharply elegant steel heel (as seen recently on Jessica Alba) that mixes “femininity and design”. It is the core piece of the 13-piece line of shoes which feature sensual materials like soft leather and suede. And it comes in exclusive hues like “Giada” green, “Klio” beige and “Rodio” grey. The pre-Fall collection was inspired by “great and timeless muses, icons of allure and elegance.”  Read More → Read More..

You know when you spot that must-have dress and you have NO idea where you’re going to wear it but you’re still going to buy it anyway? That was exactly how I felt when I spotted this dress. I saw it in H&M and immediately fell in love with the Mary Katrantzou-style kaleidoscope/tropical print. That, plus the neoprene type of material, skater skirt and built-in bright belt, I was sold! The only problem was figuring out where to wear it. Last night I went to see Robin Thicke (sigh) in concert and decided it was the perfect time and place to rock the dress. Despite being an accessories...  Read More..

Have you ever seen something on a commercial, in an ad or on someone and became obsessed with finding it? I have no shame asking someone on the street or the train where they got something, and searching for it until I track it down! Just call me a ‘stealthy shopper’. A few months ago I spotted this nautical striped dress on a TJ Maxx commercial and immediately became obsessed with finding it. I Googled every version of the phrase “striped maxi dress with vertical red stripe” (the dress in the commercial had a red stripe down the front and back) and finally found it –...  Read More..

Like usual, I love to get dressed around my accessories. I’m a handbag addict so my bags are usually the centerpiece of my outfits. I stalked hunted down found this fluro pink Celine bag months ago and to date, it’s been one of my favorite purchases. I didn’t wear it much throughout the Winter but now that Summer is here, it’ll be in heavy rotation. After so many weekends of rain, we finally had a sunny Saturday in NYC so it was time to pull out the Spring-y colors. Mint is the color of the moment so I decided to try contrasting shades of it with several pink accessories...  Read More..

Although it’s not quite close to being sandal weather, we already are scoping out haute shoe buys for spring. The Bettye Muller Colorblock Espadrille is a favorite because of all the eye-catching design elements wrapped into one shoe – from the colorful crisscross ikat fabric straps at the toe, a 4-inch wedge heel with layers of colorblock rope, an adjustable leather ankle strap down to the red rubber sole. Muller’s footwear combines luxurious fabrics and intense colors with styles that range from vintage to modern style. The Colorblock Espadrille is the perfect accessory for...  Read More..

The floral-print trend is in full bloom this spring! (Pun intended). We first caught a glimpse of florals on the spring 2012 runways, and on celebrity It girls over the past few months. Drew Barrymore recently wore a vibrant J.Crew Jules Floral Print Silk Dress on the Tonight Show, paired with delicate Aurelie Bidermann jewelry and chunky suede Brian Atwood shoes. Solange Knowles rocked a blue floral print suit at Diane Von Furstenberg’s Fall 2012 show. She paired it with a contrasting orange and white print top and yellow pointed-toe pumps. Actress Tika Sumpter wowed at the Tracy Reese show...  Read More..

Typically baby shower attire consists of little more than jeans and a shirt for most, but when the mommy-to-be is a fashionista, you know you have to step your game up. I recently attended my friend Adrienne’s baby shower last week and I knew that she and my other stylish friend Carmen would look uber-fab, so I decided to forgo my typical weekend top and jeans routine. I bought this Tucker dress last year when Target re-released dresses from its GO International Designer Collections. I really fell in love with the print and the red color. It was a cool day so I paired it with tights and...  Read More..

British Vogue has posted images from the full Versace for H&M collection. We’re talking womenswear, menswear, home goods, jewelry, shoes, handbags and accessories. We tried to narrow it down to the top five must-haves, but who are we kidding – you must-have the entire collection! The women’s and men’s collections are equally chic, and we can see some items from the men’s collection that we can easily rock. All of the Versace details are there: heavy studding, lots of leather, shocking color combos, mixed prints only Versace can pull off, Medusa Medallions everywhere...  Read More..

Photo by Donato Sardella We know that Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Adrienne Maloof loves her shoes, and so much so that she’s partnered with French shoe brand Charles Jourdan to collaborate on her own line. The Adrienne Maloof by Charles Jourdan collection is complete with sparkly platform heels, unsurprisingly, and a few jeweled flat sandals and a simple platform clog. The shoes are all items we could imagine Adrienne wearing, as well as any other woman outside of the Housewives set. In other words, it’s a collection of classic suede, leather and Swarovski crystal-studded...  Read More..

On one of the perfect, sun-filled days we had at the end of the summer, I pulled out this Kersh printed peplum-style top. Admittedly, I was never really a fan of the style – peplum dresses always conjure up images of awful eighties style to me – particularly the clothes Jackée Harry wore while playing sassy “Sandra Clark” on 227. Not to say that she wasn’t stylish back then – she was; but I think certain styles from the 80′s fashion archives are best left in that era. Fast-forward to 2011; peplum-style dresses have made a major comeback. I’m still...  Read More..

Tuleste Market‘s Spring 2012 collection has us wishing for warmer weather now. The brand that orignally started as a vintage-inspired jewelry line branched out into designing shoes a year ago. For next season, their footwear takes an ultra-chic, mod turn, with a collection of architectural heeled sandals, mules and booties, sky-high wedges and covetable not-so-flat flats. Designing sisters Satu and Celeste Greenberg said the collection was inspired by “powerful women, sci-fi and superheroes” and we can see it evidenced in eye-popping cartoony colors like red and yellow trimming...  Read More..

Haute Girl: Lia Where we spotted her: Chelsea Where she’s from: California Occupation: Business Development at Glam Media Style summary: Eclectic When we spotted Lia, she was busy chatting away on her phone, but we just HAD to interrupt her to learn where she got her fab, airy print caftan dress. We were instantly drawn to her boho-glam, California cool style and knew we had to stop her and snap her right away! She let us know that the sheer, belted dress was from Anthropologie, which she paired with a lacy black slip from Forever 21. Lia accessorized with a convertible black Kooba shoulder...  Read More..

Get them while they’re hot! And by that, we mean get them right now while they’re still in stores and not sold out. Because trust us, they will sell out quickly. The Christian Louboutin Super Dombasle Platform Sandal was this summer’s hottest wedge sandal, (as seen on celebrities like Kim and Kourtney Kardashian and Jennifer Hudson) and the blush pink, hot pink, turquoise and black patent versions didn’t last long in stores. Now the Super Dombasle is back for Fall, in a leopard-print version! These lightweight sandals feature a 6 1/3″ cork heel, leopard-print...  Read More..
