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.

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

Valentine’s Day Gift Suggestion – Sculptz Black Hearts Sheer Shaping Tights

by Kirsten on February 14, 2011

It’s been a bit of time since I provided more than a sample sale list to you, so this is long overdue. Thanks to recently learning about my faulty hips (thank you, hip dysplasia), and the plethora of tests and potential surgeries they want to give me, you could say my life has been a bit beyond hectic. No worries though – I am happy and healthy!!

Nevertheless, I was able to try a pair of tights that are perfect for a great Valentine’s Day gift! (Yes, the irony in going from the above, to this, is epic!)

Whether you like to buy yourself a little something, or want to give your sweetie, friend, mom or any other woman in your life a little something – this is a great option. Not too expensive, something you can use time and time again, and simply put – they are ADORABLE.

Sculptz makes this amazing subtle black sheer that has just the right amount of sophistication and fun. Completely sexy and works with almost any outfit, this heart shaped print does not go overboard – and gives your outfit just that extra little bit of pop.

To top it all off, these tights offer unbeatable shaping! Think rear-lifting, tummy flattening, hip and thigh smoothing! They are unbelievably comfortable – and now on sale for $8.99!

These definitely do not just have to be worn only on Valentine’s Day, in fact, they make a great option to switch up the polka dot look! Comfortable and chic – I love my pair, and know you will too!

Pick up your pair here!!

Love, K.
