Love Mary Janes

The Prettiest Gucci T-Strap Mary Janes

Charlesa — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 17:18:14 +0000

For any shoeholic, it is very easy to love a shoe. This particular shoe however, is more than just easy to love. I think it is the prettiest T-Strap Mary Jane I’ve ever seen. The Gucci Ophelie T-Strap Sandal has a great vintage appeal that really captures my heart. It is effortlessly sexy, with a flapper-esque vibe and it seems that all the details are in their perfect, respective places.

The sexy, super slim chain strap is largely responsible for the shoe’s “vampy” appeal. It contrasts pretty well on the suede fabric and displays a good mixture of textures. There are details on the heel that also add uniqueness to the shoe. The Ophelie is available for $1,195 in Saks Fifth Avenue. There are also equally-gorge, two-toned renditions available in Neiman Marcus. Which one is your fave? Because I can’t decide!

Lana Del Rey Goes Au Naturale For Letterman

Mary — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 10:37:57 +0000

Lana Del Rey is slowly making waves in the music biz with her new album, Born to Die, debuted at the top spot in about 14 countries just this week. The lovely songstress performed her hit song “Video Games” last Thursday (February 2) on The Late Show with David Letterman and she was looking white hot in a white long-sleeved dress matched with a pair of t-strap Mary Janes in cream.

We really love this white hot outfit of Lana and we highly recommend you take a look at these cream-colored Mary Janes from Nordstrom, so you can complete that innocent girl-next-door look as well.

Denim Beauty: Charlotte Olympia Dolores Pump

Charlesa — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 05:31:12 +0000

Denims are an essential part of the casual woman’s wardrobe. Because the fabric is so easy to wear, it has become a go-to choice for many of us. Denim has been incorporated in many fashion accessories like shoes. Although there aren’t heaps of denim shoe offerings right now, we found this pretty little pair that makes up for its rather low-key reputation.

This Charlotte Olympia Dolores denim pump is a casual beauty that is worth all the spotlight. The light denim looks so good with the espadrille platform and the red accent on the buckle strap is a great pop of color.

It is available in MyTheresa for $845 but if you don’t want to spend that much on a pair of shoe, we also have these cheaper alternatives that have the same denim look and feel. We headed over to Endless and rounded up these fab denim finds.

Kate Spade Farrel Espadrille, $250

Sergio Zelcer Wine Platform Pump, $205

Franco Sarto Eureka Pump, sale $61.99 (from $85)

Charlize Theron Wins Best Dressed at the Golden Globes 2012

Charlesa — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 11:02:09 +0000

Super actress Charlize Theron wowed the red carpet crowd at the Golden Globes 2012 last Sunday. While other stars opted for traditional long gowns, she dared to be different and showed plenty skin in a Dior couture gown. The revealing origami-styled dress had a blush tone, which seemed to be the theme/hue of the night. Although the dress had a deep, plunging neckline and a thigh-high split, Charlize was still a towering, elegant beauty in it.

Her shoes were from the Givenchy 2012 Spring Collection. It was a sleek and sexy pair with spike stiletto heels and edgy metal hardware accents.

This sexy shoe is not yet available online but we did find a worthy shoe that can take its place for the meantime. This Giuseppe Zanotti Crystal Sandal we found over at Endless has the same sleek and sexy style but the metal hardware accents have been replaced with some sparkly bling. The best news – it is on sale!

Giuseppe Zanotti Crystal Sandal, sale $514.41 (from $1,195)
