Summer 2011 Trend: Wedge, Espadrille and Cork Sandals

by Kirsten on June 23, 2011

In honor of my recent search for new sandals, I figured it was a perfect time to highlight one of my favorite summer trends – wedge sandals! I always like to have about two pairs on hand, at minimum. My last pairs headed into retirement, and again I was on a quest for the perfect wedge.

What does the perfect wedge consist of? Well, for me, a few things: comfort, a cork or braided base, and simple colors that can mix and go with just about any color palette. Your list may be different, but if you follow my advice, you’ll be sure to have a couple pairs of shoes that are in regular rotation!

Let’s start out with a few pairs seen on various celebs. The first – my absolute FAVORITE. Sigh. The Stuart Weitzman Alex.

(photo courtesy of intheircloset.com)
Buy the Stuart Weitzman Alex at Endless.com – $365

Want Jennifer Aniston and Eva Mendes’s look for less? Can’t quite afford the Stuart Weitzman Alex? How about splurging for the N.Y.L.A equivalent?! I love mine!

Buy the N.Y.L.A. Women’s Colbie Wedge Espadrille at Endless.com – $49

Looking for something a bit different? I also love these styles:

Kim Kardashian in Christian Louboutin Super Dombasle Sandals

Get the Christian Louboutin Super Dombasle Patent Sandals from MyTheresa.com

Want Kim Kardashian’s look for less? These Christian Louboutin Super Dombasle Sandals in black patent leather will run you between $500-$600 bucks. These babies are a fraction of the price, and a great find!

Chinese Laundry Women’s Go For It Wedge Sandal – $79

I absolutely LOVE this look on Audrina Partridge:

Audrina Partridge in Chloe Cork Wedge

Chloe Cork Wedge with Slingback

Purchase the Chloe Cork Wedge Slingback at Bloomingdales

Want Audrina Partridge’s look for less? Get these shoes from Zodiac American for a fraction of the price. They are slightly different, but definitely get the same look:

Zodiac American Vinnie

Zodiac American Original Women’s Vinnie – $59.95

Are there any other wedges, espadrilles or cork sandals you adore? Share your faves by leaving a comment below!

Celebrity Style Trends: Flared and Bell Bottom Jeans

by Kirsten on May 26, 2011

I can’t begin to express how happy I am that flared and bell bottom jeans are making a comeback. I still remember the first pair of designer jeans that I bought; the Seven for All Mankind Flares. They were fabulous, and I loved the way they fit my body perfectly. With skinny jeans being all the rage the last few years, I had put a stop on buying flares, bootcuts, and bell bottom style pants. It was a sad day in my house.

But, not anymore! Check out the various celebrities below sporting the flared jeans look. Can we all agree that they look fabulous? Yes. Is it just for girls with perfect bodies and long legs? Absolutely not. But more on that below.

Zoe Saldana in Black Orchid

Buy the Black Orchid Black Beauty Bell Flare in Dust Devil from BoutiqueToYou.com!

Nicky Hilton in Paige Premium Denim

Buy the Paige Premium Denim Laurel Canyon Flares from PaigeUSA.com
(Nicky is seen in the Laurel Canyon in Driftwood from 2009)

Annalynne McCord in J Brand

(Also seen on Cheryl Cole (below), Alessandra Ambrosio, January Jones, Zoe Saldana, Emmanuelle Chiriqui and Katie Holmes)

Nicole Richie in Current/Elliott

Buy the Current/Elliott The Bell Jean in Fuel/Fray from Tobi.com!

As you can see there are a variety of women sporting this look. Very petite to very tall. Although fuller figured women weren’t in this selection, the key is to find a cut that fits your body best, and a length that doesn’t have to be hemmed too much. (It loses the integrity of the cut and the features placed at the bottom of the leg). Best to look for jeans that may come in petite or tall versions if you tend to be on one end of the spectrum or the other.

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries @ LAX on 4/27/11

Many of you may not be a fan of Kim Kardashian, but there is something about her I love. Aside from the obvious – she’s beautiful, her style unrivaled, and she dates some pretty hot men – she also has a very sweet side to her that I do take notice of. This outfit is a bit of a deviation from her norm, and I love it. In fact, I have an almost identical dress and absolutely love it. Maxi dresses are a favorite of mine during the warmer months, and Kim goes to show that you don’t have to be tall to rock a long dress!

Get Kim Kardashian’s full outfit below!

Celebrity Travel Style – Kim Kardashian at JFK Airport

by Kirsten on March 31, 2011

Kim Kardashian @ JFK Airport

Who really isn’t a fan of Kim Kardashian’s style? Her stylist Monica Rose is one amazingly talented lady. It’s rare that I see Kim in something I hate, and even with these bright skinnies on, I still am digging her look. Simply put, she looks amazing! Oh, and she is wearing my Rick Owens jacket. I think because I share the same last name as Rick, that he should hand over this exact jacket. I would be indebted to him FOREVER. Sigh.

Despite this not looking the most comfortable to travel in, celebs are great for that, what do you think of her look?

by Kirsten on March 16, 2011

Kate Beckinsale @ LAX

Kate Beckinsale was seen making her way through the paparazzi-laden LAX airport on March 3, 2011, wearing this travel outfit. Normally I am a huge fan of her style, but I just am not feeling the leggings. Yes, they are totally comfortable and ideal for traveling, but I’m so over this trend.

Rachel Zoe Report – Passport to Paris: Packing Tips for a Cold Weather Vacation

by Kirsten on January 7, 2011

It wasn’t that long ago that I posted about Rachel Zoe’s resort picks for a warm weather vacation, so when I came upon her newest travel fashion suggestion, I just couldn’t resist!

Ask Rachel: Passport to Paris – Packing Tips for a Cold Weather Vacay

Hey RZ! What should I pack for a 10 day vacay in Paris and London in February? – submitted by @vintagefinder, via Twitter

Carole,
Paris or London at any time of year is a dream, but since you are visiting in February, you must prepare to bundle up—in style! My advice is that you bring plenty of cozy clothes and accessories without over-stuffing your suitcase…are you ready to make a packing list?

Starting with the inner-layers and working out, take with you 1. pair of sturdy leggings 2. fashion-forward jeans 3. long sleeve tee 4. chunky knit sweater and 5. long outerwear option—my vote is a trench coat! You will quickly find that dressing for cold weather is all about layering your look.

After you have your base ensemble down, the next step is to excessorize. I recommend you do that with a 6. thick scarf 7. leather gloves and 8. trapper hat. For convenience, be sure to carry a 9. cross-body satchel to safely secure your belongings, which should include a 10. passport cover and 11. cool camera!

Finally, in terms of footwear, bring a pair of 12. riding boots that you can walk around the city comfortably in while still looking très chic! xoRZ

Kourtney Kardashian is such a beauty. Her style is great, and I love checking out her various outfits. I see her as being fashion-forward, trying things that most may normally shy away from. I really admire her adventurous side when it comes to her look. Although this look is a bit more comfortable chic, I think it makes a great travel outfit! What do you think?

On another note, they hate when the paps get too close to Baby Mason… give them some space – please! You can be respectful and yet still say hello. K?
