Rachel McAdams: Mystery Man in Paris

Roselle — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 07:00:11 +0000

So what is Rachel McAdams up to lately? Well, the Notebook star has been quite busy filming her new movie called Midnight in Paris.

Apart from that interesting fact, the blond beauty was also spotted walking around in Paris with a mystery guy.

Hmmm, what do you think? Friends or lovers? I say friends. But if it is otherwise, I would say he looks a little too old for her.

She does look chic in light blue though – matching light blue hat, light blue Miu Miu handbag, and light blue top. It’s a very casual look that she dressed up with great accessories, and I like how she did it – not too polished and not too put together.

Aside from the light blue add-ons, the next standout piece (or pieces for that matter), is the pair of strappy sandals on her feet. Here’s a closer look:

The curved and crisscross straps sure do make it look interesting; it actually looks like a pair of cage gladiators. I have no information on it yet, but if you like it, you can try these:

Erika — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 07:03:28 +0000

Here’s another pair of much used, much loved glads – Demi Lovato’s Ecote Pyramid Gladiator Sandals:

Those sure are a hardworking pair! From biking, to traveling, to walking the red carpet, Demi Lovato has really gotten a lot of use out of her gladiator sandals.

Here’s a close-up look at Demi Lovato’s sandals:

Ecote Pyramid Gladiator Sandals

Urban Outfitters is the only online store that carries the brand Ecote and unfortunately, these sandals sold out a long time ago.

Not to worry though because how hard can looking for studded gladiator sandals be? Not too hard considering how quickly I found these alternatives!

Here are 5 studded gladiator sandals that are just as rockin’ as Demi Lovato’s. I took the liberty of narrowing it down to just pyramid studs because there are literally thousands of studded sandals out there:

Clockwise from top: Dolce Vita Neve, $103.00; Type Z Stapleton, $45.50; Matiko Black Pyramid Studded Patent Eara Gladiator Sandals, $69.99; Naughty Monkey Exhibit A, $47.99; Candela Black Pyramid Studded Leather Jazz Gladiator Sandals, $139.99

Do you have a pair of sandals that you wear all the time like Demi Lovato?

I love me some elastic straps on gladiator sandals. They’re easy to put on, they adjust to your feet, and you don’t have to buckle up or lace up a gajillion straps on your sandals.

So when I came across these Rome Flats from American Retro, they went right up to the top of my gladiator sandals lust list:

I love the thick ankle straps combined with the slimmer straps that go across the foot, and I especially love that the heel is left uncovered like it was cut out.

Whitney Port in Bright Orange Boutique 9 Post Flat Sandals

Erika — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 07:06:45 +0000

Whitney Port was spotted leaving a nail salon in Beverly Hills with a female friend last August 19. Now that her reality TV series The Hills is over, I guess she has more time to relax and to spend on herself now.

Here are pictures of Whitney Port and the very comfy casual outfit she wore for her manicure appointment:

Nice bright, glaring orange sandals Ms. Port, but that still doesn’t distract me from the fact that you’re wearing lacy silk bedroom shorts out in public (which are wrinkly and look like you slept in them by the way)!

Wait a minute – is this a new trend? I hope it isn’t because you’re practically just begging to flash someone when you’re wearing baggy lacy silk shorts.

Anyway, Whitney Port’s orange sandals with triangular cutouts are the Boutique 9 Post Flat Sandals (shown here in light grey):

Boutique 9 Cutout Leather Post Flat Sandals

I couldn’t find them in the orange color Whitney Port has, but you can get them in black or in this light grey color for $84.00 at Bluefly.com.

If you want more color choices, Endless.com has the Light Natural, Natural Reptile and Silver Colors. They’re also offering the best deal on the Boutique 9 Post Flat Sandals and have them listed at just $81.14 a pop.

*****************

UPDATE: Shopbop.com just lowered their price on their stock of Boutique 9 Post Cutout Flat Booties! Sizes and colors are severely limited, but they now have these sandals listed for just $59.50 which is 50% off of the original price.

Jessica Szohr: Cutouts and Lace-ups for Gossip Girl

Roselle — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 10:06:16 +0000

Here’s a pretty picture of Jessica Szohr getting all dolled up on the set of Gossip Girl. Much of the attention is on Blake and Leighton that sometimes, people forget that Jessica is just as gorgeous. In fact, I think she’s the best looking of them all.

She looks just as great in pretty floral dresses and muted sandals as the other two. Speaking of sandals, let’s zoom in on her pair, shall we?

Jessica’s sandals

I see two things – cutouts and lace-ups. Here’s another angle:

What do you think? Pretty nice, right? It definitely looks like a pair of modified gladiators. I couldn’t find any information on it but if you like it, these sandals from Pour La Victoire will do the trick.

No lace-ups but you get the cutouts. Finish the look with this dress and you’re good to go!

Designers Wear Gladiator Sandals for 2010 Fashion’s Night Out Kick-Off!

Erika — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 07:35:02 +0000

The likes of Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Vogue editor Anna Wintour, and designers Tory Burch, Donna Karan, Mary Kate Olsen, Marc Jacobs and Vera Wang were in attendance at the 2010 Fashion’s Night Out Kick-Off press conference held at NYC’s City Hall last August 11. They were there in support of the second Fashion’s Night Out, which is now an annual global shopping event that celebrates and supports the fashion and retail industries.

It’s a good sign for us when designers themselves wear gladiator sandals to a prestigious event! Check out the gladiator sandal spots on Donna Karan, Mary Kate Olsen and Marc Jacobs who coincidentally are all standing next to each other in the group pictures from the press conference:

Take it from these designers – the gladiator sandal is hot and is very well on its way to becoming a classic!

The gladiator sandals Donna Karan is wearing are the Miu Miu Desert Suede Gladiator Sandals. These are the same sandals Rihanna was seen wearing for her trip to Jerusalem a few months ago:

Miu Miu Desert Suede Gladiator Sandals, $348.49

Mary Kate Olsen is wearing the Giuseppe Zanotti Ioo118 Triple Buckle Sandals:

As for Marc Jacobs, I haven’t gotten a name on who makes his black leather sandals yet but these men’s gladiator sandals from H by Hudson are just as nice:

H By Hudson Verso Leather Sandals, $60.66 (was $101.10)

Fashion’s Night Out kicks off on September 10, 2010, which is also the first day of New York Fashion Week! This is going to be a global thing and is dubbed as fashion’s biggest party! Will you be in attendance in your part of the world?

Anna Kendrick Rockin’ Rock & Republic Nexi Sandals

Erika — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 07:05:59 +0000

Anna Kendrick was seen with her Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World co-star Michael Cera outside the London Studios in um, London last Wednesday. They were there, of course, to promote their latest movie and to attend its UK premiere held on that same day.

Here are pictures of Anna Kendrick throwing us her infectious smile:

Michael Cera (the guy in the red and blue striped shirt whom I’ve cut off from the pictures) appears to be dressed down, so I wonder what Anna Kendrick is all dressed up for? She certainly didn’t wear that dress peeking out of her hoodie and those shoes to the premiere, so I’d like to know for what event Anne Kendrick wore this outfit.

Even if she was just relaxin’ in these pictures, you know those shoes are too nice to just kick back in. Anna Kendrick is wearing the Nexi sandals from Rock & Republic:

Rock & Republic Nexi

Nice new take on the gladiator sandal isn’t it? It’s like an ankle boot with lots of cutouts or a sandal with a suede covered heel. Definitely much too nice for just relaxin’; these things deserve to be taken out.

The previously $299.00 Rock & Republic Nexi sandals are now on sale and are available in Black ($164.98) and Cream ($173.25) at Zappos.com.
