While nautical is always a summer staple, we love this not-so-obvious take on the the trend. Grab a pair in any hue — neutrals like brown, tan, and black or sunset colors like red, orange, and yellow work best.
Pair them with your crispest capris and striped top to put a more literal spin. Or wear it with a hot denim pencil skirt for a more modern take. But remember, when putting trends with trends keep it under the radar and don’t go too crazy with color or you’ll look like you’re trying too hard.
Nicole Richie is a doll. No… seriously. The pint sized personality is like a living doll — everything you put on her looks great! Check out the mom-to-be in a cute Paige Denim jean jacket, Kimichi Blue dress, and, drum roll please… fold over Marc Jacob booties. Yes, we just died and went to fashion heaven.
Though fold over boots are nothing new, these seem so fresh. Maybe it’s the color. Maybe it’s the major fold. Whatever it is, we love it!
For some reason known only to Jesus, we have a little soft spot for Lindsay Lohan in our hearts. Granted she is a total whacko, maybe slightly insane… okay definitely insane… and without a doubt Hollywood’s top spender (on drugs). But, when we remember the Lindsay of yore (a.k.a. Herbie Full Loaded, Mean Girls) we look fondly upon the old gal and wish she would just come back already.
Wanna know why? Just check out the picture. We mean, jeez, is she tossing her screen life away to become, as The Superficial says, “A woman of the night?” Or is it of the pole? It certainly looks that way and we miss the old Lilo hardcore. If Britney can do it, so can you!
We think that the combo of shoes, dress, hair, and stare all scream hooker. What do you think? Would you wear this?
This year’s No Doubt reunion is certainly one for the record books. Especially when you consider that, during their downtime, lead singer Gwen Stefani mothered two children, a clothing and accessories line titled L.A.M.B., and managed to record to solo albums before returning to her roots. We thought she’d never go back, what with all she’s got going on. But, in true, geniune form, Gwen stayed true to her originals. The band recently gave a killer performance on the Today Show, plans to put out their new album in 2010, and is kicking off a world tour on May 6 at American Idol.
While we’re obviously excited about all that, what we’re most looking forward to is the comeback of Gwen’s wardrobe. We are smitten with her style and can’t wait to see what she’s all about this time around. For now, let’s get inspired by some of her older looks in Shoe Muse.
To get her look
Whether running errands in sneakers or donning sky high platforms, Gwen seems to be all about the chunky. She went from lots of big, chunky platforms to big, strappy (and yes, chunky) dominatrix heels. The key is to get them all in neutral so that they’re more versatile. Can’t wait to see what type of shoe she’ll be rockin’ this time around — chunky booties, chunky t-straps? What do you think?
Sizzling Victoria’s Secret and Sports Illustrated cover model Marissa Miller recently collaborated with Vans. Yes, that Vans. The ones you never thought were sexy… until now. And we know, we know. The collab was posted up for last summer. However, we think that her adorable collection is just right for the bright, beach inspired trends of this summer.
Although she may look like a prim princess, Marissa is in fact, a Cali surfer girl through and through. Ahhh, now you see it! The long blonde hair, toned bod, and tanned skin — it’s not an act folks. She really does love to have fun in the sun, surfs to keep in shape, and, we’re assuming, wears sneakers when off camera.
In everyday paparazzi shots, its true that Drew Barrymore isn’t the world’s most glamorous person. In fact, it seems that she likes sweatpants just as much as the next guy! But, when she turns it on, she can really turn it out. Take note of her latest press tour for new HBO flick, Grey Gardens. It is just another example of the glAmazon that Drew becomes with, you know, the right hair and makeup squad (which she fully admits).
Here, at the Hollywood premiere of Grey, Drew choose a spot on, ’80s inspired Elie Saab dress that she complimented with quirky Giuseppe Zanotti heels. Style E90150 from the 2009 spring/summer collection to be exact. What a fabulous take on the recent tuxedo trend. Only Drew!
According to a survey done by Footwear News, Christian Louboutin still tops ladies lists as the best luxury shoe brand. Let’s see who else made the top five.
1. Christian Louboutin
2. Manolo Blahnik
3. Jimmy Choo
4. Hermes
5. Chanel
Did any of these surprise you? We were certainly taken by Hermes at 4… over Chanel. We have never even seen any celeb shout out Hermes shoes nor have we really scooped the brand ourselves so we were a little shell shocked. However, we are more than happy to start researching the brand a little bit better since it is, apparently, at the head of the class. Cheers to the top five winners!

We spend plenty of time disecting trendy shoe silhouettes. But what about color? In the world of trendiness, yes, color counts. Here are the hottest colors and details for summer 2009.
Nude – Lengthens legs.
Orange – Easier to pull of on feet than face.
Royal Purple– Surprisingly versatile.
Hot Pink – The girliest of them all.
Turquoise — Both pink and turquoise had a time about five years ago and are back with vengeance.
Shine — It doesn’t seem like metallic is going anywhere… ever.
Bling — No matter what the color of the shoe, encrusted and studded pairs are still in.
Mustard Yellow — It had its turn in clothing but still lingers in accessories.
We are huge fans of comedy. So much so that we fell over cackling at these side splitting shoe commercials posted on ShoePaparazzi.com. Be it a shoe commercial or an actual stand up routine, everyone needs laughter in their life on the daily. So here’s your dose for today. You’re welcome!
Here’s one of the seven videos featured in ShoePaparazzi’s line up that features football player Terry Tate.

Here is Beyonce at the premiere of her new film, “Obsessed.” The actress is wearing Balmain dress that is just a tad off for us. Broken into parts, we like the idea of it all. But when pieced together, it sort of looks like a hot mess. Thank goodness it’s in black or we might really be able to see all of those crazy, uneccesary deats.
And again, Beyonce wears black pumps. Does she always wear black pumps? She’s gotta have more than just black pumps right?
Last comment on this then we’ll stop the B bashing. With a dress so crazy, why would you sleekify your hair? A messy bun and a stoner girl like Kristen Stewart would’ve done this dress more justice in our eyes.
Now seeing this is our third “Would You Wear This?” of the week, we think this was just a dud of a week for Hollywood’s elite and their style squads. What do you think? Would you wear this?
Rockport, Tova $69
LAUREN by Ralph Lauren, Lex Wood Wedge $98Â 
Kenneth Cole New York, Sexy Braidy $156
