Is Emily Blunt Wearing the MIA Hayat Sandals?

Posted in Ankle Cuff, Belted Cuff, Buckles, Emily Blunt, Flats, MIA, Suede, Thong, Zappos.com on July 16th, 2010 by Roselle – Be the first to comment

I’ve been trying to ID Emily Blunt’s cuffed thong sandals for a while now. I’m talking about the pair this newlywed wore last June 26, the one she wore with a gray maxi while out shopping in West Hollywood.

Emily Blunt, June 26

After some digging, I now have a very strong hunch that it’s the MIA Hayat Sandals. Here’s a closer look at Emily’s sandals:

Now here’s a product shot of the MIA Hayat.

MIA Hayat Sandals

What do you think? Well, I think it’s a match! The buckled straps at the back  are there; the lower heel area is open just like Emily’s sandals; and if I’m not mistaken, the MIA Hayat in Blue Suede is exactly what she’s wearing.

Desperate Housewife Marcia Cross Builds a Playground for Charity

Here’s Desperate Housewives star Marcia Cross looking all fresh and fabulous as she builds a playground for kids in need at the LeRoy Haynes Center.

Marcia Cross, July 9

If I could look that beautiful and fresh as a mom, I’d be the happiest woman on earth.

Anyway, I’m not writing this article because of how fabulous she looks, I’m writing it because I couldn’t help but notice those wide cuffed studded sandals on her feet.

I love the neutral color, it doesn’t cut-off the legs too much; not to mention it’s easier to pair with. The studs are definitely a plus. The pair would look great with a short skirt or short shorts, but I do love the way she used it with folded up skinny jeans and a breezy top. She looked so comfy and cool in it, like she was having a great time even though the day was a little hot.

I don’t know who made her sandals yet, but you can get the same look with this pair from Naughty Monkey:

Do you want to know where Miley Cyrus gets her  cute little nails done? At Cosmo Nails.

The young starlet was seen arriving at the said salon last June 29 looking all cool and casual in folded up jeans, a cap, an ethnic looking colorful bag, and a pair of gladiator sandals from Givenchy.

Becky Newton Travels in Comfortable Zippered Sandals

Posted in Ankle Strap, Becki Newton, Dolce Vita, Flats, Heels.com, Luichiny, Naturalizer, Wedge, Zappos.com, Zippered on July 7th, 2010 by Roselle – Be the first to comment

Becki Newton was spotted with her hubby (Chris Diamantopoulos) at LAX last July 6 and the ex-Ugly Betty star was all sweet and lovey dovey with her husband while waiting for their ride.

Well, she does have a lot to smile and be sweet about. She’s expecting and she has a new show called Love Bites.

That aside, the pair on her feet was what caught most of my attention. The pieces she wore for travel were actually very simple, but together, they looked harmonious. I love the printed top underneath the jean jacket and scarf; even her bag choice and bangles were worth complimenting. But what really carried the whole outfit were her sandals. It was the final touch that completed the look; the dot at the end of the sentence.

Here’s a zoom view of the pair:

Becki’s sandals

From the front, they look more like booties because of the extra wide T. But up close you can see the straps on the sides. Obviously what makes this one very distinct is the zipper feature.

I don’t know who made these yet, but I did find similar styles you might be interested in:
