Bold and Sexy Dresses for Wild Animal Prints

Joann — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 11:22:06 +0000

Last time, we were inspired by Victoria Justice’s Giuseppe Zanotti animal print Mary Janes to look for more animal print Mary Janes at Endless. We featured Mary Jane pumps, platforms and stilettos by Betsey Johnson, Pella Moda, Enigma, Kensie Girl and Sam Edelman. If you liked them, then you’re in for a treat today because you’ll see them again. And not only will they be featured again, but this time, we’ll give you suggestions on dress styles to pair them with.

We had a hard time finding the right dress shop. There are a lot of choices out there, sure, but we have to admit that it’s pretty tough to find a style that will go well with animal prints. Animal prints aren’t neutral. They imply a feisty, sexy and bold personality. Dare we say that animal prints = wild? After all, these prints are patterned after animals in the wild.

To give justice to the wildness of an animal print heel, the woman who wears it has to pair it with a dress that’s at least as wild and as bold. And if there’s one store that sells sexiness in a dress, it’s AmiClubWear. So to AmiClubWear, we ventured forth.

Did we find the perfect matches for our featured animal print Mary Janes? Of course!

Giuseppe Zanotti Women’s I16069 Platform Open Toe Pump, $750 and RED SWEETHEART RUCHED TUBE SEXY MINI DRESS, $20.99

Betsey Johnson Women’s Tease-P Platform Pump, $129.95 and TWO TONE BELTED STRAPLESS MINI DRESS, $27.99

Pelle Moda Women’s Issa4 Platform Pump, $159.95 and BROWN MULTI OFF SHOULDER KNITTED LONG SLEEVE DRESS, $26.99

Enigma Women’s Hh132 Platform Pump, $42.32 and BLACK KNIT RUCHED ONE SHOULDER MINI DRESS, $21.99

Kensie Girl Women’s Achava Mary Jane Pump, $47.20-$59.00 and TANGERINE SHEER LACE V NECK BANDED MINI DRESS, $16.99

Sam Edelman Women’s Lyla Platform Pump, $175.00 and WHITE SLEEVELESS RUCHED PLEATED FITTED MINI DRESS, $21.99

They’re pretty hot, right? We’re willing to bet that if you wear them to attract somebody’s attention, you will succeed. When that happens, you’ll have Endless and AmiClubWear to thank. (And maybe us, too.)

Victoria Justice’s Giuseppe Zanotti Animal Print Mary Janes

Joann — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 10:35:31 +0000

The 2011 Do Something Awards held on Sunday, August 14, at the Hollywood Palladium brought many Hollywood celebrities together, both old and new. One of the new faces we saw was that of Victoria Justice’s. Victoria Justice stars in Nickelodeon’s Victorious, a series about a teenage aspiring singer who attends a performing arts high school. But it wasn’t just Victoria’s fresh and pretty face that caught our attention. We admired her from head to foot, and then we had to stare at the foot. Or more precisely, we had to stare at the shoes her feet were in.

Look at her Giuseppe Zanotti pony print platforms. Do they not beckon to you? If you can’t see them from this distance, let us give you a better view:

The good news is that these shoes can be found at Endless!

Giuseppe Zanotti Women’s I16069 Platform Open Toe Pump, $750.00

You will notice that even though the print is called pony print, it looks very much like leopard print. If you want alternatives that are cheaper than these Giuseppe Zanottis, Endless has more leopard print Mary Janes, which means we have a lot of choices.

Betsey Johnson Women’s Tease-P Platform Pump, $129.95

Pelle Moda Women’s Issa4 Platform Pump, $159.95

Enigma Women’s Hh132 Platform Pump , $39.02-$42.32

Kensie Girl Women’s Achava Mary Jane Pump, $47.20-$59.00

Sam Edelman Women’s Lyla Platform Pump, $175.00

We think an animal print Mary Jane is one of the most alluring types of Mary Janes. And Victoria Justice definitely did justice to her Mary Jane platforms.

Drop by again because next time, we’ll give you ideas on what to pair with animal print Mary Janes.

More Clothing Styles You Can Wear with Mary Janes

Rose — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 05:24:37 +0000

So you’ve got those fabulous mary janes sitting patiently in your closet, but you’ve just run out of ideas on what to pair them with. You’ve already worn them with a sundress, a cocktail frock, and others, so you need other mary jane style ideas to keep you looking fresh and interesting. Since mary janes are versatile pieces, there are actually more types of clothes that you can mix them with. We’ve come up with three more dress styles to add to your list of mary jane style ensembles.

With a Lace Blouse

A pair of mary janes brings to mind cute school girl uniforms. Update the style with a lacy blouse and a fitted pencil skirt for that elegant, feminine look. Mix in a pair of patent mary janes to add a chic touch.

Try this:

Blouse: Free People Dark Blue Cotton Lace Bib Button Front Shirt, $69.99; Shoes: Pleaser Women’s Cutiepie-02/B Mary Jane Pump, $62.95

With a Shift Dress

A pair of mary janes perfectly suits the 1950′s feel of a shift dress. When pairing your shift dress with mary janes, choose the styles that have the same color with your dress for that taller look. If your dress is colorful or printed, go for nude mary janes. Try this:

Dress: Cynthia Steffe Caramel Sateen ‘Karla’ Seamed Shift Dress, $177.00; Shoes: Sergio Zelcer Women’s Wood Platform Pump, $179.00

With a Plaid Skirt

Though not exactly a dress, a plaid skirt goes famously great with a pair of mary janes. Mary janes complement a plaid skirt and their pairing gives off that sweet, yet edgy and fashionable, preppy school-girl style. Try this:

Skirt: Gemma Blue Plaid Silk Banded Waist Skirt, $84.99; Shoes: Betsey Johnson Women’s Calandra Open-Toe Pump, $165.00

All featured clothes are available at Bluefly, while all the shoes may be shopped for at Endless.

The 4 Perfect Dress Styles You Can Wear with Your Mary Janes

Rose — Mon, 09 May 2011 03:16:24 +0000

There’s good reason why Carrie Bradshaw of Sex and the City squealed with delight upon coming across a pair of Manolo Blahnik Mary Janes in the closet of Vogue magazine in one episode. It’s really not only because Manolo Blahnik is one of the “it” brands there are today, but also because Mary Janes are absolute wardrobe staples and fashion must-haves. Mary Janes are versatile fashion pieces that one can wear from day to date night, and pairing them with the right kind of dresses provides that classically gorgeous look that’s always on-trend.

So what dresses go well with Mary Janes? To get the best out of your Mary Jane styles, try to pair them with the following dresses:

Sundresses

Mary Janes go great with lots of dress styles and a sundress is one of them. Go for a flirty halter sundress for that sweet, feminine look. For spring and summer, you can choose light-colored sundresses and pair them with equally light-colored Mary Janes. Add some bright-hued purse to give that pop of color to your style. Maybe you can channel your inner Marilyn Monroe with this white dress from Shoshanna and pair it with this cute sunny Mary Janes from Betsey Johnson.

Dress: Shoshanna White Stretch Cotton Poplin Pleated Lace Insert Dress, $164.70; Shoes: Betsey Johnson Women’s Calandra Open-Toe Pump, $134.39

Empire Waist Dress

If you’re looking to hide some flaws in your figure, an empire waist dress is a great way to do it. Empire dresses keep the focus away from places you don’t want to get attention to. Choose the ones that fall above the knees, have semi-loose silhouettes, and drape beautifully over your frame. A swishy flare at the bottom would be a great detail.

This beautiful yellow number from BCBGMAXAZRIA is just something that I have in mind. Pair it with this bone-hued Mary Jane for a perfect match.

Dress: BCBGMAXAZRIA Bamboo Woven Asymmetric Tiered Strapless Dress, $161.10; Shoes: N.Y.L.A. Women’s Jezebel Platform Pump, $68.96

Cocktail Dresses

Shake up your cocktail party look a notch higher by pairing your little black dress with Mary Jane heels. Go for higher heels to achieve that more glamorous style. This super sexy number from BCBGMAXAZRIA, for instance, can look more sultry with this dazzling Mary Jane from Pleaser.

Dress: BCBGMAXAZRIA Black Circle Texture Strapless Bow Detail Dress, $143.10; Shoes: Pleaser Women’s Teeze-07 Mary Jane Pump, $99.95

Full-Skirted Tank Dresses

Remember those full-skirted tank dresses women in the 50′s love to wear? Don the same, but ditch the 50′s cardigan and go for some hot-colored flared dresses—like blue, perhaps—and pair them with more modern-styled Mary Janes. Here’s an example:

Dress: BCBGMAXAZRIA Blue Sapphire Textured Organza Belted Flared Party Dress, $232.20; Shoes: bebe Women’s James Platform Pump, $89.81

Mary Janes never go out of style, so they’re good wardrobe investments. Just know what dresses you can match with them to get the most gorgeous style out of your Mary Jane look.

You can shop for the dresses at Bluefly and the shoes at Endless.

Lea Michele: Simple and Sweet in Striped Mary Janes

Rose — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 13:41:58 +0000

Lea Michele opted for the sweet feminine look at the Funny Men and Women of Twentieth Century Fox Television Panel during the 2011 TCA Studio Day in LA on January 12, 2011. Here she is:

The Glee actress stepped out for the event in a cute black Zac Posen Sheer-Striped Dress and Christian Louboutin Melita mary jane heels.

Doesn’t Lea here look so pretty and ladylike? The dress has that classically sweet and sexy silhouette. I like the fitted top and full-pleated skirt. And I love the striped mary janes that are the perfect complement to Lea’s all-black dress because they added that interesting element to her simple, yet sweet, look.

I cannot find mary jane heels that look exactly like Lea Michele’s, but if what you’re after are the printed and peep-toed elements of her mary janes, then you might find these fitting to your taste:

Betsey Johnson Women’s Calandra Peep-Toe Pump, $125.40

MICHAEL Michael Kors Women’s Clare T-Strap Haircalf Sandal, $165.00

Bordello by Pleaser Women’s Teeze-25 Pump, $65.95

Chinese Laundry: Milky Peep-Toe Maryjane, $48.99

Except for the last mary jane heel which you can get at Heels.com, all the rest of the mary janes are available at Endless.com. You can shop for Lea Michele’s dress at NeimanMarcus.com.

Camilla Belle and Her Bow Tip Mary Jane Pumps

Roselle — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 15:32:14 +0000

I am truly a huge Camilla Belle fan. Ok, she hasn’t done a lot of movies, but she’s a real beauty. Photographers love her, that’s why she’s everywhere.

Last week, Camilla attended the new Tod’s Boutique opening in Beverly Hills. And just as expected, the paparazzi worked their cameras as she stepped onto the arrival area.

Here are some of the snapshots:

Camilla Belle in Jason Wu and Miu Miu

If you look at the photo coverage of this event, you’ll notice that Camilla was the stand out. She kept it short and sweet in a printed Jason Wu creation paired with some interesting bow tip Miu Miu peep toe Mary Janes.

Here’s a closer look at the shoes:

If you think about it, it looks like it was designed with spectators in mind. The two tone coloring , wing tips, and punched holes on the contrast trim remind me so much of classic men’s brogues; except this pair has high heels, platforms, and bows on the tip.

Knowing how much a Miu Miu pair could cost, I went ahead and searched for a look alike. As expected, I found nothing as unique as Camilla’s Miu Miu’s.

But because price was the limitation, I decided to settle for the following instead:

Betsey Johnson Calandra, on sale for only US$105 (6pm.com)

Enzo Angiolini Grieta, on sale for only US$45 (6pm.com)

Two Lips Gypsy, on sale for only US$63 (6pm.com)

These shoes may not be like the Miu Miu’s, but they are lovely in their own right.
