While doing so today, I came across this pair of sandals from Marc Jacobs. It originally retailed for a heavy US$899, but is now at a discounted US$425.

Marc Jacobs MJ14161, now at US$425 (was US$899)

Now I have two questions for you. Would you wear these Marc Jacobs sandals?  And would you buy them at US$425?

Because if you ask me, I am totally not digging this pair. I’m sorry to say it but it looks kind of ugly.

I can’t really pinpoint the exact cause of my dislike, but it is a sum of a lot of things – from the color combination, to the old fashioned silhouette, to the presence of a heel, and to the odd combination of  black patent leather and purple tube straps.

So, again, would you wear these Marc Jacobs sandals?

If you think you can rock the pair, simply visit Zappos and make your purchase.

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:

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.

From left (clockwise): Type Z Maritza Sandals, US$67 (sale!); Pour La Victoire Claire Sandals, US$138 (sale!); Corso Como Submit Sandals, US$173; Vaneli Khina Sandals, US$115; Bebe Bathilda Sandals, US$111 (sale!)
