Here’s a photo of Kim Kardashian taken last March 15 when she attended Eva Longoria’s party.

I can’t help but wonder if she’s wearing the Sam Edelman Leopard Printed Gigi Sandals.

I initially thought she was wearing Alexander Wang, and then I decided it can’t be because he doesn’t offer such a pair despite offering leopard printed pieces.

So I thought perhaps it’s a Tory Burch, but after going through her collection, I found nothing similar to Kim’s thong sandals.

And then, I stumbled upon these leopard printed sandals from Sam Edelman by accident:

I checked and double checked and double checked a third time; these must be it!

What do you think?

Am I right? Or is she wearing something else?

Well, regardless of whether I am or not, these Sam Edelman Leopard Printed Gigi Sandals are a close call to Kim’s pair so if you want it, it’s yours for an easy breezy price of US$49 if you buy it at Shoes.com; and the same easy breezy price of US$50 if you get it from Zappos.com.

It comes with very good reviews too, so you’re not only going to own a pair like a star, but you’re actually getting more than your money’s worth on it as well!

It seems nothing in Hollywood ever lasts these days. I was so shocked to hear Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry split up that I didn’t want to believe it. I quickly did a search to verify the news. Of course, I got side tracked once I found these pictures of Halle wearing embellished gladiator sandals.

We saw her with thong sandals before (click her to read article), it seems embellished is her current favorite.

Despite having just broken up with Gabriel, Hally still looks good, with no visible signs of desperation or heartbreak (considering the rumor that it was Gabriel who broke it off). I wish I could look like her if I had just been dumped by someone.

Second point to note in both pictures, Halle seems to love the cropped legging look lately. And these aren’t the only pictures I’ve seen of her wearing the cropped black stretchy number. There are others.

What do you think of Halle’s cropped leggings and gladiators combo? Love it or Hate it?

If you like it, get it with any of these sandals:

Can You ID Kristin Kreuk’s Embellished Thong Sandals?

Posted in BCBGeneration, Embellished, Flats, Kristin Kreuk, Shoebuy.com, Studded, Thong on April 27th, 2010 by Roselle – Be the first to comment

One of the prettiest faces I’ve seen on TV, Kristin Kreuk, was spotted in Studio City, California the other week (April 17th).

The Canadian and ex-Smallville actress had the misfortune of getting replaced by Sara Fletcher for the soon to be launched show, Hitched. I guess the producers found her unfit for the role. Or maybe they simply found her too pretty (well, that’s what I’d like to think).

Anyway, while looking at these pictures, I couldn’t help but notice Kristin’s sandals. I initially thought it was the BCBGeneration Uba Sandals. Up close however, I was mistaken.

Here’s a product shot of the BCBGeneration Uba Sandals. It comes in black/silver and brown/gold versions.

BCBGeneration Uba Sandals, US$89

Can you spot the differences? Kristin’s has a tan colored insole and flat tapered front strap. The Uba on the other hand, comes with a braided tubular front strap and dark colored insole.

Which do you prefer? Kristin’s embellished thong sandals or the BCBGeneration Uba? If you want the latter, you may purchase it from Shoebuy.com.

Now if you prefer Kristin’s sandals, then perhaps you can help me ID them.

Kristin Cavallari Enjoys Coachella with Koolaburra Venus Fringe Sandals

Kristin Cavallari was looking every bit the California Girl that she is when she attended the Coachella Fest last week.

She was photographed enjoying the event in a sexy tie dye tank, short jean shorts that showed off her tanned legs, and a pair of bohemian looking sandals that came with fringes around the ankle cuff.

The look was simple and casual, but with the statement shoes, it was perfect and spot on. It’s also a good thing that she chose a neutral color; had it been black, it would have looked a little off.

The pair by the way, is by Koolaburra and it is called the Venus Fringe Sandal. It comes in Black and Chestnut (as seen on Kristin), both of which are available for purchase at Singer22.com.
