Hollywoodland-Charlotte-Olympia copy

This collection was inspired by the golden age of Hollywood, Art Deco design and classic-film leading ladies including Mae West & Rita Hayworth. Charlotte captured the decadence of the era by using film reel cut-out PVC, crystal-trimmed cabochon brooches, glitter fabric and mirrored gold leather panels.

The bags are equally thematic and my favorite styles are Take PandoraDeco Pandora and Box Office Pandora clutch. There’s even an adorable film strip headpiece too.

Charlotte has great timing since these show-biz glitzy designs emulate the glamour seen in the recent ‘The Great Gatsby’ blockbuster film.

Celebrities I would like to see wear this collection: Katy Perry, Dakota Fanning, Emilia Clarke, Selita Ebanks, Lana Del Rey and Emmy Rossum.

My top 10 favorites are featured below. You can shop this collection at Charlotte Olympia, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf GoodmanNet-A-Porter, Matches, MyTheresa.

Eva Longoria wore Brian Atwood Evie ankle-strap sandals to the ‘Jimmy P. (Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian)’ premiere during the Cannes Film Festival. They’re from the Spring 2013 collection featuring nude patent leather and thin ankle-strap. Evie is available online in purple suede with a 100mm heel at Bergdorf Goodman and several colors at Brian Atwood.

It’s not the typical floor-length dramatic gown choice we’re used to seeing from the petite actress but I love her Atelier Versace mint green embellished dress. She also dazzled in Chopard diamond jewelry.

Liam-Fahy-Charlotte-heels

Ashley-Spiker-Liam-Fahy-shoes

London based shoe designer, Liam Fahy has designed a vibrant Spring 2013 collection titled ‘Congo’. He’s been on my radar for awhile and I’ve been particularly fond of the Charlotte pumps ever since Alexis Bledel wore them several years ago. Liam was also a winner of the recent “New Gen” award presented by The British Fashion Council.

This collection was influenced by a 1951 classic movie, ‘African Queen’ starring the iconic Katherine Hepburn. The African-inspired designs feature hand printed Java-textiles from Tanzania & Zimbabwe, zebra-print suede, appliqué and mix of materials.

My three favorite designs are the Charlotte pump (pictured on me), Brigitte snakeskin sandal and Lis patent leather sandal.

As far as flats go, the Colette slipper is in this month’s Vogue UK and has the same yellow print adorned with a Congolese mask. There’s also the Becky loafer featuring a giant fur pom pom.

You can shop this collection online at Liam Fahy.

Jennifer Lawrence wore Nicholas Kirkwood sandals to the 2013 GLAAD Media Awards. These shoes are from the Spring 2013 collection featuring black & white snakeskin, metallic gold & black patent leather and snap-button ankle-strap. They’re available online at Moda Operandi and Net-A-Porter.

No this isn’t a faux-bob, the actress debuted a new shorter ‘do and it’s a welcomed change. Jennifer’s shoe choice was a perfect complement to her David Koma dress (take note Reese Witherspoon). Other accessories included black enamel & diamond earrings and orange enamel ring by David Webb.

Nicole Kidman also wore these sandals to an event in Vienna last month.

Brian-Atwood-Spring-2013-campaign

I’ve been excited to share my favorite styles from Brian Atwood’s vibrant Spring 2013 collection. The new Evie sandal quickly became red carpet favorite which we’ve spotted on Nicole Kidman, Krysten Ritter, Victoria Justice and Nina Dobrev. We’ve also seen the white leather Kayla sandal featured in Issue 2 of CR Fashion Book.

Since Brian Atwood’s e-boutique launched last year, it has been fully stocked with shoes and bags, plus the newly launched jewelry line.

I’ve listed my top 10 favorite designs as well as their online availability. You can shop spring styles at Brian Atwood, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, MyTheresa, Colette, Net-A-Porter, Forward by Elyse Walker, Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom.

If you need help finding a specific style or size, contact the Madison Avenue flagship boutique.

Jimmy-Choo-Dream-sandal-Spring-2013

Kate Hudson is featured in the April 2013 issue of Glamour wearing Jimmy Choo Dream sandals. These Spring 2013 shoes feature black suede, black snakeskin, braided self-tie strap with tassels and gold coin charms. Dream is available online in grey & white snakeskin at FarFetch.

She posed wearing Look 33 from Lanvin’s Spring 2013 collection. Kate’s dress was styled with a simple black grosgrain ribbon belt instead of the large gold-tone belt seen on the runway. Other accessories included a Brass Branch Vertebrae cuff by Jennifer Fisher cuff and Chrome Hearts skull ring.

Zoe Saldana also wore these Dream sandals to The Hollywood Reporter + Jimmy Choo luncheon earlier this month.
