    This Season's Hottest Shoes Mix Leather And Lace

    image
    Alex Gambardella on Oct 6, 2009 10:19 AM PDT
    As if you need any new additions to your "Shoes I Must Have NOW" list, the latest invasion of sexy footwear is more flirty than ever. Lace details, cut-outs, and overlays are popping up everywhere, in both high-end and affordable brands, from demure J. Crew ballet flats to seriously fierce peep-toe booties by Stuart Weitzman. While lace and leather may more commonly conjure up visions of risque lingerie, and let's face it -- those see-through excuses for lace pants are better suited as a doily than on an actual person (unless you're Lady GaGa), lace-embellished shoes are hot because they bring a certain sexiness without making you feel exposed. After all, a little peep-toe peepshow never hurt anyone! Check out the slideshow for some of the my favorite lacy shoes!

    Brogues And Oxfords Get Flirty And Feminine!

    Taking items that are typically associated with menswear and making them feminine is no novel idea when it comes to modern day fashion. We've seen it in every context from sexy tailored suits on the red carpet to boyfriend blazers on your average night out on the town. However, the latest trend in menswear-gone-girlie is here to serve as a welcome addition to your shoe collection, just in time for fall. Brogues and oxfords, though traditionally men's dress shoes, have certainly been worn by the ladies before... just not nearly as fashionably or with the same feminine edge as the latest styles provide! Studs, cut-outs, and bright colors vamp up the normally conservative-looking shoe, making them far more chic than what you'd stereotypically find worn by a butler. True, the whole idea of open toes and modern embellishments sort of negates the very definition of a brogue, but hey -- with modifications this cute, we won't toss them based on a silly technicality! Check the slideshow for some of my favorite oxford-inspired pairs!

    Video Style Steal: Britney's Equestrian-Style Looks Are On ...

    I don't know what it is about Britney Spears that makes me compulsively root for her through thick and thin. I guess a part of me is still in denial, thinking she's going to bust out onstage with a boa constrictor or silver chair and start magically performing with the energy and enthusiasm of Britney circa 2001. Even without all the flair and fanfare of her high-octane performance past, Britney is still doing pretty well for herself, now out with her new video for "Radar," the fourth single off her latest album Circus. This time around, Britney leaves the barely-there lingerie get-ups and goes for a sort of equestrian-chic look while swooning over a sexy polo player within the video's gorgeous Santa Barbara setting. While I'm not sure I fully dig the whole slow-motion horse imagery, her outfits are undoubtedly cute... and the best part? Most of what she's rockin' in the vid is made by Candie's (Brit is the brand's current spokesperson), so the looks can be found for super-cheap at Kohl's! Click "See Video" to see the looks in action, then check the slideshow to see how you can pull off your own interpretation with a mix of similar and exact pieces straight from the video!

    Summer Style Staple: Flat Embellished Sandals

    image
    Alex Gambardella on May 28, 2009 10:25 AM PDT
    While flip-flops have undoubtedly gone trendy in their existence as a warm weather necessity in footwear (ie: the endless array of fancified Havaianas and those trusty and sturdy Rainbows), sometimes plain ol' thong sandals can come off as too casual when it comes to making a statement, attending special occasions, or whenever simply donning your default slip-ons just won't do. We watched gladiator and platform sandals take hold of every fashionista's feet for kick-ass strappy style in the months prior, but now that June is nipping at our heels, flat sandals are getting jazzed up in the most creative ways to keep that element of dressed-up drama in a more comfortable, summer-friendly package that can be suitable for day and night. Chunky stones, chain straps, ruffles galore, and so much more -- these sandals aren't just for slipping on as an afterthought as you run out of the house for an emergency beat-the-heat smoothie. Embellished sandals are the perfect footwear for looking effortlessly put together and appropriately adorned from head to toe while still giving your feet room to breathe! You're on your own when it comes to avoiding the funky foot tan lines, however! Check the slideshow for some of this season's snazziest sandals!

    Confession- I probably spend more time clicking through Shopbop than I spend "reading" my favorite fashion magazines. It's easy to see why- between the incredible styling, constantly updated selection, and my personal favorite, the lookbook, it's a one stop shop for all of your style needs, wants, and dreams. And right now, I'm needing, wanting, and dreaming about SPRING! Shopbop sent us an exclusive sneak peek at their spring preview styles and I'm smitten- flowy florals, edgy knits, hippie-inspired accessories, and sunshine brights are just the thing to pull me out from under the pile of grey and black I've been living in all winter.

    Style Steal: Be A London Fashion Week Queen Like Agyness Deyn

    image
    Greta on Sep 19, 2008 10:17 AM PDT
    You simply cannot discuss London Fashion Week without at least a mention of UK supermodel du jour, Agyness Deyn. When not strutting her stuff on the runways, Deyn is most commonly known for her punky rock n' roll style, but at the recent House of Holland Catwalk Show she oozed sexy glamour in a provocative catsuit number. And she didn't just pull it off, but she made it look effortless paired with a chic tweed coat, a bustier-style belt, and of course, stilettos. But how exactly are you going to steal Agyness' risque look? Well, the Hive has tons of cute options that let you fit her look into your style - catsuit and supermodel body not required. Check out my SLIDESHOW to see six items inspired by this look that I found in the Hive!
