Lanvin’s Spring 2011 Peep Toe Wedges: Which is Your Favorite?

Rose — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 06:48:53 +0000

Have you seen Lanvin’s Spring 2011 Wedges? They’re absolutely fantastic! They come in four different materials and colors, and sport a ballerina-like ribbon that you can tie around your ankles or on the shoes. They range from the sleek to the playful, yet every piece is fab and flirty. I love every one of them, so I’m finding it hard to pick one particular favorite. Maybe you’ll be much better in spotting your own favorite than me, so check them out:

Lanvin Snake Print Canvas Wedges, $1,120.00 (Lanvin.com)

Lanvin Ankle-Wrap Puzzle Wedge, $1,245.00 (KirnaZabete.com)

Lanvin Ankle-Wrap Wedge Pump, $1,280.00 (BergdorfGoodman.com)

Lanvin Suede and Python Wedges, $1,240.00 (MatchesFashion.com)

So which is your favorite, then? I would really love to know. They’re certainly gorgeous and fashionably edgy. Since they’re wedges, they’re more feet-friendly than the regular heels, yet still provide that additional height. They’re perfect from day to date night.

These Lanvin Wedges are already available online so start shopping for them before they run out. For those who find their prices a bit hard on the pocket, we do hear you. So we’ve looked for cheaper alternatives. We couldn’t find exact-looking ones, but we came across these equally gorgeous and edgy wedges that are worth your consideration. Take a look:

GUESS by Marciano Women’s Dolly2 Wedge, $147.95

Georgina Goodman Women’s Pierce Wedge Ankle Strap Sandal, $481.25

Dollhouse Women’s Tali Wedge Sandal, $41.25

You can get these wedges from Endless.com.

Leighton Meester Wears Pierre Hardy Wedges

Rose — Sun, 26 Dec 2010 07:06:41 +0000

Leighton Meester stayed true to her fashionista roots at the Special Screening of Country Song at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Beverly Hills, LA. Take a look:

Leighton appeared for the event looking ready for spring in a dress by Christian Dior, and sorbet-colored wedges by Pierre Hardy. A marquis cut gemstone ring and gold bangle bracelet, both from Cathy Waterman, made the pretty finishing touches.

Do you like Leighton’s festive look? I do. It’s an uncommon spectacle during winter’s red carpet scene, but it’s refreshing nonetheless. We could use a couple more of Leighton’s perky red carpet look, don’t you think so?

As for Leighton’s shoes, do you like them? I find it lovely and playful with its bright colors and edgy design. It’s from the Spring Summer 2011 Collection of Pierre Hardy, and it looks like this up close:

I couldn’t find this particular Pierre Hardy Wedges for sale online, but if you’d like to get a pair, you can check the Pierre Hardy website for a list of boutiques where you can get them. On a hunt, though, I’ve come across these gorgeous look-alikes that might just interest you:

Mary Jane Pumps Invade the Set of Ugly Betty!

Roselle — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 08:53:34 +0000

Check out this picture of America Ferrera, Ana Ortiz, and Becki Newton shooting a scene for Ugly Betty in New York…Now look further past the wardrobe down to their footwear, notice anything?

The cast of Ugly Betty (America Ferrera, Ana Ortiz, and Becki Newton) shooting a scene in New York last March 2

All three are wearing Mary Janes!

It looks like the show’s costume designer was in Mary Jane mode when she dressed up these three for the scene.

The designer chose a pair of retro-inspired printed Mary Jane Wedge Pumps for America Ferrera’s Betty; a pair of black classic heeled Mary Jane pumps for Becki’s Amanda; and although she chose a pair of Mary Jane inspired knee-high boots for Ana Ortiz’s Hilda character, those knee-high numbers definitely look like Mary Janes with a million straps from afar.

Now among the three Ugly Betty characters, whose Mary Jane style do you like best?

I took the liberty of picking out more Mary Jane shoe styles that would probably suit each of the character’s persona based on this scene. Let me know what you think of my choices.
