Shoes She Should Have Worn: Freida Pinto

May 16, 2012

The 2012 Cannes Film Festival has just begun and we already have a Shoes She Should Have Worn candidate. This Michael Angel dress is amazing on Freida however I think a purple or blue heel would have looked much better. It looks like she tried to make these white satin platforms work with her belt however these Odeon sandals by Louis Vuitton look chunky and distracting.

P.S. – I don’t think anyone can top Kirsten Dunst’s horrific shoe choice from last year.

Shoes She Should Have Worn: Freida Pinto

Manolo Blahnik Minchisli purple slingback; available online at Saks Fifth Avenue
This is a simple slingback that gives a pop of color and still keeps the focus on the dress.

Jimmy Choo triple strap purple sandal; from the Spring 2012 collection
Again, this is a simple muted purple sandal, featuring croc-printed leather & wooden heel.

Jimmy Choo purple Lance sandal; available online at Jimmy Choo
This metallic purple goes well with the sparkly embellishment on her bodice.

Tom Ford Spring 2012 velvet ankle-wrap sandal
These sculpted glass wedges are stunning! It’s an obvious statement shoe but I think Freida could have pulled them off.

Tom Ford Fall 2011 sandal; as seen on Charlize Theron and Rihanna
This is my favorite choice; they’re so sexy and I love this shade of purple.

Which heels do you like for Freida? Check out more Shoes She Should Have Worn posts.

Casadei Spring 2012 Calder Wedge

May 14, 2012

 

I featured the Casadei Calder wedge in the SHOP section a couple weeks ago. Casadei’s Spring 2012 collection is one of my favorites this season and this wedge is stunning. It’s available online in red, green, yellow, brown and nude.

I was going to purchase the yellow however at the time it was sold out in my size so I went for the beautiful nude.

Casadei-Spring-2012-wedge4

This wedge was inspired and named after the sculpter, Alexander Calder who is most famous for inventing abstract sculptures he called “mobiles”. This design was all about evoking movement and Casadei wanted to reinterpret the moving sculptures and abstract elliptic elements. The construction, features “three pieces fused together to become a single element, a true sculpture.”

Video on Cesare Casadei talking about the Calder wedge:

I am so happy with this wedge. When ordering these I questioned whether I should have went with the 36.5 for fear that the 37 might be too big. However you can see they fit perfect and I’m happy I went with the 37. I suggest ordering your true size (half sizes are available!). They’re sky-high featuring a 5.25″ wedge & 1.75″ platform, but easy to walk in and feel great.

Since my last blog post, my fiancé Max and I have spontaneously become extremely domesticated. We rented a small apartment, purchased a car and “settled down” in Sarasota, Florida. We’ll still be traveling often but it’s so nice to have a home…and a closet!

Worn with Dior St.Tropez polish, Rory Beca Lel wrap dress (available in oat & and tova) and Fiat Gucci : )

Shoes She Should Have Worn: Malin Akerman

April 30, 2012

Malin Akerman attended the 2012 White House Correspondents’ Dinner wearing a bridal heath yellow satin strapless dress paired with Giuseppe Zanotti Fall 2012 two-tone platform pumps.

Malin-Akerman-Giuseppe-Zanotti-heels

Since the black platform is thick, they look much too chunky on the red carpet plus I dislike black paired her dress. Especially since her dress was a solid color, there were so many different heels Malin could have worn. Side note – wonder how much tape they had to use for that dress!!

Shoes She Should Have Worn: Malin Akerman

[All of these shoes require a different clutch!]

Casadei silver-tone studded ankle cuff sandal; online at FarFetch
This sandal just became available online; I also wanted to see it on Lea Michele 

Charlotte Olympia Siren platform sandal; from the Spring 2012 collection
Malin would look very mermaidesque in these and I love them!

Giuseppe Zanotti triple strap sandal; online at Endless
She could of had a head start on the upcoming fall shoe trend by wearing an ankle-wrap sandal.

Gianvito Rossi snakeskin bow embellished sandal; online at Barneys
I wouldn’t usually pair snakeskin with this satin but it’s unique and the bows keep it cute.

Jimmy Choo Beacon platform sandal; online at Footcandy
These very strappy sandals feature mirrored leather and are cousin to the popular Bunting sandal.

Shoes She Should Have Worn: Eva Longoria

April 29, 2012

Eva Longoria attended the 2012 White House Correspondents’ Dinner wearing a white embroidered Marchesa Fall 2012 dress paired with her favorite Brian Atwood black satin Maniac pumps. This dress was presented with gold Christian Louboutin boots.

Eva has gotten so much use out of these pumps and they work for her most of the time however I really wish she would have worn a new, lighter Spring 2012 sandal. It looks her stylist forgot to pack the shoes.

Fall 2012 Shoe Trends

April 28, 2012

A couple weeks ago I posted my Top 10 Fall 2012 Shoes and now here are trends we will see this fall:

Fall-2012-colorful-heels-shoes

[Jimmy Choo, Christian Louboutin, Alexander McQueen, Giuseppe Zanotti, Diego Dolcini and Roger Vivier]
Colorful, fluffy furbies 
Bundles of fluff & feathers!

Fall-2012-Designer-Shoes

[Charlotte Olympia, Brian Atwood, Salvatore Ferragamo, Giuseppe Zanotti, Tabitha Simmons, Jimmy Choo, Sergio Rossi, Giambattista Valli, Casadei]
Ankle takes center stage
This season the simplistic sandal has the spotlight but Fall 2012 is all about the ankle. Dare I say, ankle party, anyone? Tulle, crystals, fur (see blue Zanotti in first picture), ribbon, rope – we will see it all, around the ankle.

Fall-2012-Designer-heels

[Manolo Blahnik, Jerome C. Rousseau, Nicholas Kirkwood, Pierre Hardy]
Color trends
Check out the Fall 2012 Pantone Fashion Color Report. Coral evolved into this beautiful tangerine and mint moved into a darker marine tone.
