Here’s Melanie Chisholm, better known world-wide as Mel C. or Sporty Spice, enjoying a warm-ish spring day in London and wearing Belle by Sigerson Morrison Randy Zebra Flat Sandals. These sandals are from last summer, but this season you can get the same style of Randys in a purple crackled metallic finish for only $175 at Shopbop.

So what’s Sporty Spice been up to in the last 10 years? Read More…

When I first saw the shoes from Fendi Spring 2013, I was delighted. Nicholas Kirkwood had stepped in to design the label’s runway footwear for the show, and out of that collaboration came interesting, counter-intuitive shoes with removable pieces that required the viewer to reconsider what constituted beautiful footwear. At its best, that’s what runway fashion is supposed to do – challenge consumers to think harder about the things they wear and what they mean. Read More…

Here’s pixie-ish wisp of a celeb Carey Mulligan, dashing around NYC in Christian Louboutin Banana Peep Toe Pumps. We’re not sure where Carey was headed, but she seems in quite a rush to get there. You can get these five-and-a-half-inch platform pumps in black suede for $845 at Neiman Marcus. (Before you balk, know that suede is now a bona fide spring material!)

I have to give Carey serious kudos here for being one of the only celebs I’ve seen in months who seems to be wearing Louboutins that actually fit her and look remotely comfortable. Read More…

When you think “punk,” your first thought might not be high-end fashion or super-luxe fashion retailer Moda Operandi, but the site’s Punk: From Chaos to Couture boutique, celebrating the theme of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s 2013 Costume Institute Gala, might just change that. The punk aesthetic has had an indelible impact on modern fashion, and to acknowledge that, Moda has gathered together an enviable mix of designers, artists and vintage purveyors to bring you a unique mix of exclusive pieces that make the link between punk and high fashion clearer than ever.

Here’s legendary model and rocker ex Jerry Hall, out shopping in NYC’s East Village, wearing Charlotte Olympia Kitty Embroidered Animal Print Slippers and carrying an Hermes Kelly Bag. I was just gushing about the Charlotte Olympia Kitties earlier this week – they’ve been criminally popular for several seasons now. While this animal print calf-hair pair is slightly less my style, they look perfect on Jerry. Read More…

If you thought Rihanna’s crazy Tom Ford gladiator sandal-boots from earlier this week were crazy, then you might want to avert your eyes – the irrepressible Mr. Ford is taking things up a notch (ok, several notches) for his Fall 2013 shoe collection. The collection itself was an incredibly bold mix of comic book colors and multiethnic prints, and that look extended all the way down to the models’ toes. Read More…

Here’s Rihanna, out for the evening in NYC, wearing a completely crazy pair of Tom Ford Gladiator Boot Sandals. They look a tad like leg braces, but if there’s anyone walking the planet who can pull these bad boys off, it’s Rihanna. If you’re of the opinion that you could rock these better than RiRi, you can purchase these sandals in black at Bergdorf Goodman for a cool $3,690. Read More…
