Summer's Not Over YET!!

I just scooped these FarylRobin "warrior" sandals up on shopbop... ON SALE!! for $95. I love them, even though it's a little late in the season for buying them. ;)

I wore them in LA all day and I'm being totally serious when I say that they may be the most comfortable shoes I own. They're super cute AND comfy?? I see no downside. Oh! And on sale! Bonus.

They come in cream as well, which I think would be beautiful on some summer bronzed legs! I went for black... but love them both.

But on a Positive Note...

These L.A.M.B. shoes are AMAZING. I have a pair myself and although they are super high, they're worth it. They are one of my favorite gladiator shoes out there. They are a perfect mix of snake and leather, and I love the zipper detail!

Anyway, you can find them at Zappos for $374 (and free shipping!)

Are You Over the Gladiator Trend?

Do you say thumbs down to gladiators? They are everywhere right now! Usually the sign of the death of a trend is when it saturates the market so much that it trickles down to places like Payless. And what do you know... Payless has not one but a few gladiator styles. 

I dunno... I'm still feeling it. Especially the higher versions! And what do you think about studs on shoes? I'm surprised to still find styles I like. Like this Lanvin shoe that hits both of these trends. A studded gladiator. Pretty cute, huh?

So where do YOU sit on the issues? Thumbs up or the dreaded thumbs DOWN...?

My Sandal of the Day...

I just bought these on Wednesday and wore them today for the first time. I LOVE these sandals! The color is a perfect neutral that goes with anything and the dark brown snake on the insole makes it sexy and sophisticated. This may become my favorite sandal to wear all summer. 

It's funny because I thought these were cute, but not really my style... until of course I saw miss Gwen Stefani wearing them in a paparazi shot and I realized how amazing they look. Hahaha! I'm so lame. Oh well. Hey, at least Gwen wears the shoes of her namesake, unlike OTHER celebs with their own shoe lines. Eh-hem.

Anyway, you can find them on line or in stores at Nordstrom. I highly recommend them. :) I'm pretty sure Gwen does too.

The Perfect (almost affordable) Flat Sandal...

So as you all know, I was shopping LA this past weekend. I saw a LOT of great shoes and spent over nine-thousand of my company's dollars on designer shoes! What a great feeling!! Talk about retail therapy. ;) All the shopping, none of the guilt or buyer's remorse.

Anyway, among all the amazing shoes we saw, this Givenchy leather flat stood out as one of my favorites. It is the perfect Spring to Summer sandal, and at only $380, it's at least semi-affordable as far as high end designer shoes go. If you have a hard time imagining summer without wearing flip flops, this is a great alternative! You'll look a lot more put together with a leather version of your old fall back. TRUST ME. Plus, I have it on good authority that miss Gwen Stefani herself will be seen running her cute pregnant ass around town in these!

A side note: If you're ever in LA shopping for shoes you MUST stop in at Barneys and ask for Jason. He is the sweetest (not to mention cutest!) salesmen on the floor, and he'll help you find the perfect shoe. Tell him Celine sent you ;)
