The earliest memory I have of Amy Smart was when she appeared in Felicity; you know, the teen drama show with Keri Russel as the main character (come to think of it, that’s where I first saw Jennifer Garner too). Ok, I think I just gave away my age here, because that show happened a long time ago.

Now back to Amy. The blond cutie was spotted with Chris Evans the other week; the two went to Cirque club in London and I just couldn’t help but notice how Amy was dressed that night.

Tell me, what do you think of her look? OR more precisely, do you think she chose the right pair of shoes to go with the outfit?

Actually if you ask me, part of me thinks she looks kind of cool with it, but another part of me also thinks a different pair would have looked better.

If you think she looks hot the way she is and you think the booties are perfect, then you will probably love these:

Top: Via Spiga Liberty, on sale for US$99; Steven Maiya, US$190

Bottom: Michael Kors MK13031, on sale for US$447; L.A.M.B. Quintessa, on sale for US$224

You can shop for these sandal booties at Zappos.

Rihanna stayed true to her rock chic style when she was spotted exiting Da Silvano restaurant last August 9.

Her dinner date outfit consisted of an acid green printed dress from Proenza Schouler which she belted on the waist and finished off with a pair of criss cross gladiator sandals. The whole look was casual cool at its finest.

Now let’s zoom in on the sandals:

It’s definitely very interesting. It looks like lace-ups from afar but up close really aren’t. There is no information on it online but if you really like it, I think these close substitutes will do:

MICHAEL Michael Kors Gwen Bootie, US$140

Cole Haan Air Vernonia, US$125

You can also get Rihanna’s look by completing it with the following essentials:

Grab the Allen Allen Tie Dye Babydoll Tunic (US$48) and put it over a tulle layered skirt such as the Gabriella Rocha Pleaz (US$39). Belt it on the waist using the Nike Skinny Glove Belt (US$35) and finish off the look with the Midnight Swag Stone Pyramid Cuff from Juicy Couture (US$98), some Lucky Brand Bohemia Open Cage Hoop Earrings (US$32), and sunglasses from Jessica Simpson (US$56)

Kim Kardashian is not the only hot celebrity who looks lovely in lace-up sandals, Gossip Girl Leighton Meester does too.

Unlike Kim’s neutral colored Louboutins, Leighton’s pair is in a wonderfully rich wine color from Derek Lam. She was spotted wearing it on her way to the Gossip Girl set last month (July 26)

The sandals are actually on sale at Saks for US$316, that’s more than 50% off its original retail of US$790. The wine color is already out though, so you will only have the Black and Grey colors to choose from (visit SaksFifthAvenue.com).

If you’re familiar with Tinsley Mortimer, then you probably know that she likes wearing candy colored dresses. These pictures can attest to that:

But allow me to show you one of her latest photos, taken when she attended the Darker Side of Green debate at Bowery Hotel last July 27:

Such a contrast to the previous images, don’t you agree? It totally caught me off guard when I first saw it. Well, what do you think?

Personally, to see her in more subdued and classic colors is kind of refreshing, and I like it…I think. Even her sandals are black! And they’re lace-ups too, very much within trend for the coming  fall season.

Yes, you heard that right, lace-ups are still going to be hot this fall. It will be on boots, booties, and even sandal booties.  Hate lace-ups? Well, I guess this is bad news for you. But if you love ‘em, I suggest you grab these and add ‘em to your collection:
