Irregular Choice Lewis Slouch Clogs

Posted by kim on January 12, 2010

Bobbie Thomas, TODAY Style Editor and author of the Buzz column for In Touch weekly rounded up the exciting and surprising items to look out for in 2010 style trends (such as grey-beige nail polish), and I was excited to see wooden clogs are making a comeback! Woohoo!

Clog Craze
Clogs are back, and in new forms and fun patterns. Heavy hitters Chanel and Louis Vuitton both sent models marching down the runway in updated versions of the wooden shoe rather than teetering stilettos that have caused many to tumble. Designs from contemporary collections such as Stuart Weitzman and No. 6 are editor picks for spring. Hollywood’s not far behind with celebs scooping pairs from C&C Sweden, which offers everything from fun florals to metallics and even patent leather versions. And if you just can’t wait to follow in their footsteps, Free People has come out with a warm way to sport the style — the “clog boot”.

Not sure I care for these Lewis Slouch Clogs by Irregular Choice, $248 from FreePeople.com, to wear myself, but obviously others do, as they are selling out fast!

Update: These Irregular Choice Long Lashes Tweed Concealed Wedge Boots are now also available from ASOS.com, $212.47 in several sizes!

Unique but stylish very high heel slouch boots with tweed shaft and sueded clog vamp featuring buckle strap details. 2″ Platform 5″ Heel.

Shoes from Sex and the City 2 Movie

Posted by kim on December 28, 2009

WeLikeFashion.com released pictures of Sarah Jessica Parker playing Carrie Bradshaw in the new Sex and the City movie due out next year. Carrie’s shoes from the first SATC movie were (and still are) a huge hit.

Here’s my take on what shoes Carrie is wearing, from left to right. Please correct me if you think or know otherwise – thanks!

1. I’m pretty sure these are Christian Louboutin Leopard Pumps.  I can’t tell if hers are peep-toe or not, so they could also be Christian Louboutin Pigalle Pony Fur Pumps. But I think they definitely have the signature CL red sole.

2. These look similar to Christian Louboutin Cap-Toe T-Strap d’Orsay pumps, but the reference sites I found all seem to be replica CL’s.  My guess is that at least one of her pairs of shoes will have been designed especially for the movie and will not be made available to the public until after the movie is a hit. They may even be Chanel, as Chanel is highly known for cap-toes.

3. These are definitely Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Sneakers.

Converse All Star Core OX (shown right), $45 from Zappos.com

Converse All Star Leather Ox, $62 from Zappos

Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Scratched Leather Ox in Charcoal/Black, $70 from Zappos

Converse (Product) Red Chuck Taylor All Star African Canvas Ox, $50 from Zappos (traditional black with signature top red eyelets and (PRODUCT) RED footbed. 5% of price goes to The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

They look like one of the above traditional black Converse All Stars, but could possibly be the Chuck Taylor All Star Double Tongue Ox or even Converse Chuck Taylor Sequined Sneakers ($85 from Nordstrom).
