Kourtney Kardashian and boyfriend Scott Disick in Miami, Florida

And these were taken also just a short period after she gave birth to her son:

You can see in these pictures how Kourtney’s pregnancy and post-pregnancy style slowly evolves from loose and casual to more dressy and structured. But even as Kourtney ditches the oversized tees and shapeless tops for blouses and fitted shorts, one thing remains unchanged: her footwear.

Kourtney chose to wear comfortable roman sandals throughout part of her pregnancy. Apparently liking the style, she went ahead and bought the black color of the same sandal to pair with her post-pregnancy looks.

Kourtney’s choice is the Report Signature Antonia Studded Flat Sandal:

This deceptively simple roman sandal features a trio of buckled straps and a studded t-strap. It has a back zipper for easy slip-on-and-off wear.

For a sandal that Kourtney Kardashian deems comfortable enough to wear during and after pregnancy, it’s a real steal at it’s $59.95 price. Purchase through Zappos.com.

• Sweet, Frilly and Girly Roman Sandals
  

  The roman sandals we see on celebs and in stores are typically very masculine in style with their thick straps, flat soles, metal hardware and all. Being that they ARE inspired by the footwear of land-conquering and civilization-vanquishing Romans, we don’t really expect these sandals to look even the least bit soft and sweet.
  But what [...]

Giuseppe Zanotti E00327s

They brought out the bling for these Giuseppe Zanotti roman sandals. And for a whopping $1,360, there better be real gold or silver on those bracelet straps!

7 For All Mankind Caprice

Here’s something a little bit more subdued (but still relatively expensive at $250.00). The “bracelets” are decorated with sparkly studs to give an illusion of opulence and to probably justify that 250-dollar price tag. But it’s not very successful on these roman sandals because don’t they look like hair ties from afar? There are scrunchies even sparklier than these.

Steven Atone

These sandals from Steven by Steve Madden are the cheapest of the three but this is the only one that doesn’t look like you’re wearing your mother’s jewelry or hair ties on your ankles. The antique-finish studs aren’t glaringly calling for attention – except of course if you purchase the yellow or red colors of these sandals. $119.95.

Are you liking the bracelet strap trend on roman sandals? Or do you think bracelets should stick to staying on arms and wrists where they belong?

Purchase the ones featured here on Zappos.com.

If you’re one of the few who were able to score bleacher tickets inside Kodak Theatre for the event, then be sure to dress your best because you will be walking on the red carpet, after all.

Glamorous to perfection is how you should be – from your gown, to your purse, to your shoes.

If you haven’t picked out your shoes yet, remember to choose one that covers the heel or at least part of it.

Why? Because of two simple reasons: one, it is more formal to cover the heel; and two, the hem of your gown could easily get caught between your foot and the open-heeled shoe as you walk. Now you wouldn’t want to keep on pulling and fixing your gown every time that happens, would you?

If you cannot picture the kind of shoes I am describing, here is a sample:

Calvin Klein Pallas

Although the Calvin Klein Pallas is a great looking sandal, it is not ideal for your long gown because of its open heel.

If you need recommendations on what shoes to wear for the Oscars, here is a list of gladiator-inspired sandals we feel are worthy enough to step on the Academy Awards’ red carpet, all priced at less than US$150:

Jessica Simpson Alaya, US$79

Charles by Charles David Prissy Heel, on sale for US$145

GUESS Holda 2, on sale for US$82

She’s not exactly a paparazzi magnet, or perhaps she tries to avoid them; however, this One Tree Hill star wasn’t able to evade the camera when she attended the Diane Von Furstenberg show during Fashion Week in New York.

She toted the designer’s spring bag and wore a Herve Leger dress. On her feet was a pair of zippered gladiator sandals that I could not ID. The rose colored dress was quite feminine but the bomber jacket and the sandals did quite a job of toughening up her look.

I wrote about these awesome roman sandals before, saying how limited they are and how difficult it is to find the other colors. This fast-moving shoe style was snatched up the moment they hit the shelves and were quickly gone the first time they restocked them. Now they’re back and most probably in very limited quantities too. Grab ‘em now while all sizes are still complete!

Back then, I also wasn’t so sure about the roman sandal + sneaker look that these Nike Gladiateur Mids had going on, but now I’m obviously a total convert. These roman sandal sneakers are just the thing to butch up really feminine dresses and skirts and the black ones would function as great city slickers. They’d look good with the predominantly black wardrobe of urbanites and would be comfortable to walk in to boot. Oh and of course they’d be a perfect match with gym clothes and sportswear, although a simple hoodie + tank top + leggings combo would look just as good:

These pictures are from SixFeetDown, a sneaker store in Stockholm, Sweden. They say in their blog that their stock of Nike Gladiateur Mids sold out in a split of a second.

Every second counts! Get the Nike Gladiateur Mids at Zappos.com while there are still colors and sizes to choose from.

Are you now finding it even more difficult to resist the temptation to buy a pair, now that this shoe trend keeps on resurrecting itself season after season?

Are you now dying to own a pair but don’t have single clue how to wear it?

Well, I’m here to help you with your dilemma. Go ahead and buy the shoes.

But make sure you pick the right pair.

Remember that the multiple horizontal straps of gladiator sandals cut the length of your legs (making you lose inches in height), that’s why it will be best to purchase something that is of nude or beige coloring, one that will not stand out and will just blend with your skin tone. Besides, a neutral color is also versatile, allowing you the liberty to use the sandals with many different outfits.

Also, try to pick a pair with thin straps. Because the thicker the straps are, the more masculine the sandals will look.

Now allow me to help you with your next dilemma – how to wear the sandals.

It is quite an easy feat so no need to worry. You can start with these 5 seasoned gladiator-looks:

Hard-core Casual

You can go downright casual with your flat Roman sandals by pairing it with a Tee and some short shorts

Three Dots Essentials Light S/S Scoop Neck

Rip Curl Berkley Denim Shorts

Stuart Weitzman Donuts in Almond Butter Calf

Smart Casual

Just because they’re flat doesn’t mean you can’t up the look. Pair your flat Roman sandals with some skinny denims and a hippie blouse for a more smart casual appeal

Vivienne Westwood Roman Boot Fall RTW 2009 collection

They’re extremely gorgeous and are to die for. These are the kind of shoes that make you want to splurge an entire paycheck (or paychecks) on. Both the red and the black colors are must-haves and not just a few shoe bloggers have professed their love for these Vivienne Westwood Roman Boots.

However, while the boot’s beauty is undeniable, could they really be called a Roman boot?

Take here drawings of different roman boots:

Roman boot drawings from Bbaboucha.com

Compared with the Vivienne Westwood boots above, only the strappy feature is present.

So let’s say that for fashion’s sake Vivienne Westwood’s design has much more leeway for artistic expression, but still, don’t the boots look more like a pirate’s boot?:

A pirate boot

Because of the flared upper shaft and the buckled straps, the Vivienne Westwood Roman Boots look more at home on a ship at sea than on a Roman warrior.

But anyway, I guess the name is all just trivial when the end product is really beautiful. For the record, Vivienne Westwood also has a pair of pirate boots called, well, the Vivienne Westwood Pirate Boots:

With all the straps on these, perhaps the names of the Roman boot and the Pirate boot were interchanged?

You can purchase the Vivienne Westwood Roman Boots for $720.00 and the Vivienne Westwood Pirate Boots for $583.15 at Zappos.com.

Nicole Kidman strikes me as someone who wouldn’t go for a pair of chunky gladiator sandals. Her much too feminine persona somehow doesn’t go with the tough chic look that gladiator sandals project.

So I was more than just mildly surprised when I saw this picture:

Nicole Kidman

Tell me, do you think it looks good on her? Or should I rephrase and ask, does she look good in the shoes?

I give her credit for choosing a nude color; not only is it more feminine to look at (compared to dark brown or black), but at least her legs still look long (as the straps blend well with her skin).

But that’s just about all I can say, because honestly, I think the chunky gladiator sandals are looking a little out of place. I feel like she should be wearing something else, like a pair of peep-toes or a pair of nude pumps.

Please don’t get me wrong, the shoes are beautiful. It’s the kind with  curved cut-out straps that swirl at the center, not the usual gladiator sandals with horizontal straps. But Nicole plus the sandals? Not working out.

What do you think?

On another note, if you are into the curved cut-out straps of her sandals, here are some interesting look-a-likes:

Fergie Quickset, US$79

Steve Madden Hitower, US$100

BCBGeneration Giada, US$118

Miss Sixty Indigo, US$165

Charles David Chic, US$215
