How to Rock the Sexy Biker Chic Look

Charlesa — Sun, 13 May 2012 00:52:41 +0000

If you’re up for another edgy look, then we suggest for you to try the ‘biker chic look’. Upping the cool factor of your wardrobe is the best way to get rid of drab, boring days so this might just be the best happy pill for you. We spotted these Barbara Bui Biker Heels at SSENSE that perfectly defines how biker chic should be done. Check out these hot heels!

Barbara Bui Black Python Biker Heels, $1,375

These biker sandals feature a great mix of suede and python leather. It also has ribbed, padded straps on its uppers. My fave part of this shoe is the foldover velcro ankle strap – it makes for a super cool look! It’s also reminiscent of the Alexander Wang shoes Rihanna was wearing in one of our old feature posts. If you can’t deal with exotic skins, here are two other renditions done in classic white leather.

Throw on a moto leather jacket, grab a Balenciaga bag (or a Balenciaga bag look-a-like) and grease up your hair a bit to rock the ultra cool and sexy biker chic look!

Hot or Not: Jeffrey Campbell ‘Clinic’ Gladiator Boots

Charlesa — Thu, 10 May 2012 14:45:27 +0000

The gladiator style is rarely incorporated in boots but leave it to Jeffrey Campbell to put two and two together. This bold designer never fails to surprise us with creative design ideas that capture the hearts of many fierce fashionistas. Here’s another one of his unique kickers that would surely get everyone talking.

Jeffrey Campbell Clinic in Black, $179.95

The ‘Clinic’ is a busy, busy shoe. It boasts of detail after detail in almost every part! The overall look of the shoe says ‘edgy and industrial’. The wedge is sculpted and features a metal mirror panel that seem to be bolted securely. The upper features a multi-strap thick buckle design with a closed toe and a back zip for easy slip-on wearing. It is available in two other color options.

Splurge or Save: Teal Gladiator Sandals

Charlesa — Sun, 06 May 2012 12:00:13 +0000

Bright colors are always eye-catching, especially during these warm seasons. I was instantly drawn to this pair at Zappos because of its beautiful tropical color. The sexy strap and ring design of the sandal is also very appealing. Take a look at this DSquared2 beauty!

DSquared2 Sandal Ring, $725

I am so in love with the teal hue set against the light tan of the leather and wood. The buckle straps as well as the O-ring in the upper have a nice gold tone, which also looks great with the teal colorway. There’s a couple of things I’m worried about though. The 5-inch heel is super skinny and I’m a tad bit scared to walk in them! The price tag is a little steep too. It’s no problem if you don’t want to splurge, we also found a nice alternative that sports the same color.

Kim K, along with sister Kourtney (who’s expecting again) stole the spotlight on E!’s black and white carpet as they arrived. Kim Kardashian was spotted looking gorgeous wearing a monochromatic ensemble to E!’s 2012 Upfront in New York City.

We love her super fierce gladiator caged shoes, the ‘Imogen’ from Jimmy Choo. This pair features fabulous geometric cut-outs in the cage design. The uppers are made of stretch suede and the lining is a combination of leather and neoprene, making them very comfy on the feet. We found it available in two colorways at Nordstrom. Which one do you like better?

Selena Gomez in Sexy Lace-Up Zanotti Sandals

It seems that these Disney stars grow up so fast! One minute, they are in those awkward pre-pubescent years and the next thing you know, they’re all grown up and earning more than you’ll ever earn in your lifetime. Selena Gomez was rocking a super sexy lace-up sandal for her performance at “Dancing with the Stars”.

The Giuseppe Zanotti lace-up sandal features a mid calf-design and scalloped cut-out detailing. The price tag is pretty steep but I’m not really surprised. Zanotti shoes always come with high price tags but then again, most of them are actually worth the splurge. We found this fierce pair available in Barneys in two colors. Do you think this is worth your hard-earned moolah?

Meet the ‘Atherton’ – the Gladiator Shoes’ More Modern Cousin

Charlesa — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 19:33:37 +0000

Although I love the classics, I can’t help but adore modern renditions of my beloved gladiator shoes. This has also been a big trend that we have seen in the runways in the last couple of seasons. A big trend that I am more than willing to embrace with open arms.

I was super excited when I saw this pair at Zappos. It had everything that I was looking for and I’m sure you ladies will love it too. Meet the ‘Atherton’ by Michael Kors.

KORS Michael Kors Atherton in Black Vachetta, $275

KORS Michael Kors Atherton in Rose Gold, $275

It is available in three equally lust-worthy colorways and I just can’t decide which one to get! I absolutely adore the play on colors and texture that they did on this shoe and because the lines are so simple and clean, it is able to display the shoe’s beauty fuss-free. Do you love this shoe as much as I do? I mean, seriously, what’s not to love?
