First up is this pretty colorful pair from Chinese Laundry. Walk it with an all-white outfit for that summer chic appeal.

Next is this futuristic looking pair from Jessica Simpson. The round metal embellishments are fresh, modern, distinct, and hard to ignore. This one is definitely a pair that comes with lots of star appeal to it.

Selena Gomez: America’s Got Talent Vamp or Victim?

I have always admired Selena Gomez’s elegant red carpet style that when I saw these photos, it totally caught me by surprise.

Selena Gomez performs for the America’s Got Talent audience, July 15

That’s how Selena looked when she performed at the America’s Got Talent show last July 15.

What do you think? Vampy or fashion victim?

Personally, I don’t think she’s a fashion victim, but the outfit does look a little off. Don’t get me wrong, the dress isn’t bad and those metallic red and silver gladiator sandals are stunning but the two don’t seem to work together.

You know how some things are meant to be? Like they complement? Well, this combo isn’t one of them.

Again, the sandals are quite pretty. It got me quite interested that I went looking for it online. I tried and tried and tried to ID it, but couldn’t find any information on it. I think it would look better with a dress that’s more body skimming though; something sexy rather than the girly and flouncy balloon dress she wore it with.

Three Dots Viscose Lycra Draped Cap Sleeve Dress w/ Waist Twist, US$135

Because I currently have no clue where you can get it (Selena’s sandals), I am giving you the next best thing instead – gladiator sandals in red hot red.

Actress Jessica Alba was spotted with an interesting pair of sandals last week; the pair had zebra printed cuffs on it.  She mixed it with a neutral and casual outfit that looked really comfy to wear.

Here’s a closer look at the pair:

Well, what do you think? Not exactly Roman sandals, but still pretty. We love the lace-up cuff part. No word on who made it yet, so we might have to do some digging. In the meantime,  perhaps we can interest you in these zebra printed Roman sandals:

High and Low: Tory Burch Stud Sandals vs. Roxy Shakira Sandals

Posted in Ankle Cuff, Ankle Strap, Beaded, Bejeweled, Elasticized Back, Embellished, Flats, Leather, MyTheresa.com, Roxy, Studded, Thong, Tory Burch, Zappos.com on August 3rd, 2010 by Roselle – Be the first to comment

I just thought it would be interesting to start a small battle today, one between the high and the low; a showdown between Tory Burch and the ever affordable Roxy. Check out what these two have in common:

Tory Burch Stud Sandals, US$347

VS.

Roxy Shakira Sandals, US$35

With such a classic design, doesn’t it make you wonder who created it first? Of course, it’s so much easier to assume Tory Burch came out with it way ahead of Roxy. But you know what? We will never truly know.

That aside, it’s amazing how these two look so much alike.  If we discount the fact that the Tory Burch pair is made from real leather while the Roxy is made from a synthetic one, and if we look over the huge price difference between the two (with Roxy costing only 10% of the Burch sandals), which pair would you go for?

If you want the Roxy sandals, you can get it from Zappos.com. The Tory Burch sandals are available at MyTheresa.com.

Heidi Klum’s Mommy On Duty Style

Even when she’s off Project Runway or off the Victoria Secret runway, supermodel mom Heidi Klum stays super stylish. Check out her laid back mommy-on-duty style in these pictures.

Ok, I think I need to add super cool onto the list. I love that cargo jumpsuit. It’s so utilitarian yet so chic! Not to mention, good bag and footwear choices to go with. What do you think? Doesn’t she look fantabulous (you know, fantastic and fabulous)?

What’s your mommy on duty style? I suggest you take a cue from Heidi,  keep it fresh, hip, and easy.  Actually, you don’t need to be a mommy to copy her look. You can be 16 and still look good in the outfit. Make sure you get these:

Volcom Smoky Screens Jumpsuit, US$56 (Zappos.com); Kendra Scott Lucca 3 pc. Bangle Set, US$76 (Zappos.com); Zara Terez Nolita Convertible Clutch, on sale for US$122 (BlueFly.com); KORS Michael Kors Scorpion Patent Sandals, on sale for US$114 (BlueFly.com); Steve Madden S576 Eyewear, US$42 (Zappos.com); Michael Antonio Deux Sandals, US$45 (Zappos.com)
