The beauty of having even just <i>one</i> pair of these glamourous shoes, is that it can be worn with anything, anywhere, anytime. I think that's the magic of the 'Louboutin heel'. Celebrities and style icons wear them on <i>and</i> off the red carpet, with a pair of jeans or with a fancy evening gown. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /><br /></b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For Spring 2012, Mr Louboutin interprets the trendy wedge heel with a sexy hint of animal print. Sophisticated neutrals are elevated by wooden platforms and plush leather. Heels are bejeweled and spiked for a ritzy rock look. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">See-through plastic takes on a posh appeal.

Who Wore The Flapper Fringe Dress Better?

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Who Wore It Better?</b></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><b>Gucci Sping 2012 Flapper Dress</b></i></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The LACMA Arts & Film Gala was held this past weekend in Los Angeles, presented by <i>Gucci</i>.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> When</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> events are hosted by elite fashion brands, it's only natural that stars choose to wear outfits made by designer themselves.

The actress wore a fringed dress with geometric design, hers differed with slots of white and wide striped straps.  </span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Evan Rachel Wood</b> fit the part of a 20's screen queen in her knee-length version of the black and gold flapper dress, with higher v-neckline. </span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHDl1f86QOY1jxDzEKeXAhp4AQ2XwBmWiF2BRHIPcgVbyms93MQ5ZB2KuTalIusn2_2aID6-hDDciubZfDw8_Zn3k9YWzXaG4mQ5z7vMQRhj2yZGCHxTg0LfsUfig7_sYJpxQyt4YQvOI3/s1600/gucci.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHDl1f86QOY1jxDzEKeXAhp4AQ2XwBmWiF2BRHIPcgVbyms93MQ5ZB2KuTalIusn2_2aID6-hDDciubZfDw8_Zn3k9YWzXaG4mQ5z7vMQRhj2yZGCHxTg0LfsUfig7_sYJpxQyt4YQvOI3/s640/gucci.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Zoe</b> wore her hair up in a tousled style, showing off her gold Neil Lane earrings.

She wore pearl stud earrings and metallic silver eye makeup. </span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Evan's </b>wavy vintage hairstyle was in sync with her 20's style outfit. She accessorized with black drop earrings, smokey eyes and a cherry lip.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJS1Oq6W8iec73VeIx2y6NaoK-1ZnubsrMk0AoRbuqD9rN5MTC4gXVAUu-1MvOoU1V_iHy_niAoZroV0nL7sIbdBrXQsAaGBOLQx13Qa2tIxvaQUDsqHbkF_6GUKod8N-NI4OWj_3D5beS/s1600/gucci+shoes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="192" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJS1Oq6W8iec73VeIx2y6NaoK-1ZnubsrMk0AoRbuqD9rN5MTC4gXVAUu-1MvOoU1V_iHy_niAoZroV0nL7sIbdBrXQsAaGBOLQx13Qa2tIxvaQUDsqHbkF_6GUKod8N-NI4OWj_3D5beS/s640/gucci+shoes.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Zoey</b> wore black peep-toe heels with a double chain ankle strap and a gold heel.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Camilla's</b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> strappy gold heels with thin metallic ankle strap are also by </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Gucci</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Evan Rachel</b> wore gold T-bar sandals, with chain detailing and double ankle strap.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think these looks would have been equally pretty...if they were all not worn to the exact same event. Together on the red carpet, these three actresses look like part of a stylish Gucci-clad girl band, when each of them should in fact, stand out. As you may know by now, I'm a Camilla Belle style fan, so I'm choosing her flapper fringed look as my favourite. Also her dress wasn't as similar as the other two. Who is your pick?</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span>

Stylista of the Week - Sarah Jessica Parker

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">Sarah Jessica Parker</span></b> brought her style and savor faire to the red carpet this past week, as she left New York City for her Australian tour. What's great about Sarah Jessica is that she doesn't stick to a specific style, always keeping her looks fresh and interesting. That's why she is hailed as 'Stylista of the Week'...or maybe I just needed an excuse to feature her outrageous hat somewhere on my blog.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDbVk0CQmvp1vCFqSCZQWdabX_ddpKFwMJg1wd0XhkR-RGsKztOQvN7MsfriC0zDW6sFGk1GfUnexZL-qFylK4_2vOpr9FmQDay_SigduGRJw_3i-1vHYqQ1oAs5J32qhmVZM6SpAo1WK4/s1600/sjp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="344" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDbVk0CQmvp1vCFqSCZQWdabX_ddpKFwMJg1wd0XhkR-RGsKztOQvN7MsfriC0zDW6sFGk1GfUnexZL-qFylK4_2vOpr9FmQDay_SigduGRJw_3i-1vHYqQ1oAs5J32qhmVZM6SpAo1WK4/s640/sjp.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>1.</b> Sarah tried on a colour-block look by <i>Narciso Rodriguez</i> for the 'Tower Heist' movie premiere in New York. Her taffeta dress combines unusual shades of soft pink, burgundy-bronze and deep royal blue. Black straps, a bow-belt & pointy-toe <i>Manolo's</i> tie it all together.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>2.</b> For the premiere of her movie 'I Don't Know How She Does It' in Melbourne, Australia, Sarah wore a dress from <i>Prabal Gurung's</i> Spring 2012 collection. It has a metallic purple bodice and white pleated skirt, splattered with shimmery violet. She carries a spiked <i>Christian Louboutin</i> clutch and walks in <i>Pierre Hardy</i> heels, her trademark bouncy curls in place.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>3.</b> The <i>Sex & the City </i>actress displayed a more sleek look at New York City Center's Reopening Gala. She chose an ensemble from <i>Antonio Berardi's</i> Spring 2012 line. Her contrasting charcoal grey and black coat dress was worn with sheer print tights and <i>Manolo Blahnik</i> heels. Her pulled-back hair matches the sophistication of this look.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>4.</b> SJP was a vibrant presence a</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">t a press conference in Melbourne. Her gorgeous sunshine yellow dress with</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> colourful abstract print is by <i>Vera Wang</i>. This is my favourite of all her outfits. Aqua pearls hung from her neck and white pointy-toed <i>Manolo's</i> bedded her feet.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>5.</b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Sarah channeled <i>Carrie Bradshaw</i> at Melbourne's Oaks Day Spring Carnival yesterday. The actress looked splendid and stately in a two-tone pale pink and white </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Jonathan Saunders</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> dress. She paired it with a glossy slate grey Antonio Berardi coat. An ornate crystal headpiece, string of pearls and her favourite white <i>Manolo</i> heels completed her look.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>6.</b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Sarah Jessica did her fashionable take on 'Ladies who lunch' at the VRC Oak Club Luncheon in Australia. I don't think anyone noticed her tweed </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Chanel </i>dress</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. Instead, all eyes were on her enormous and elaborate black sculpted hat by </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Philip Treacy</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. A tad too much perhaps? But you've got to take your hats off (no pun intended) to Sarah Jessica Parker. She isn't afraid to experiment with out-of-the-ordinary new looks.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span>

Hoss Intropia Winter 2011

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Spain has given us some remarkable fashion brands; <i>Zara</i>, <i>Bershka</i>, <i>Pull & Bear</i> and <i>Mango</i>, each with their own massive cult following. <i>Hoss Intropia</i> is another one of those inspiring brands, but unlike the contemporary feel of the others, this fashion franchise marches to the beat of it's own folkloric drum.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For Fall/Winter 2011, <i>Hoss Intropia</i> paints a bohemian picture in earthy shades of brown, cream, tan, khaki and black. The attention to unconventional detailing is what distinguishes the brand from its counterparts. They </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">create their own unique prints and focus on</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">innovative cuts, hand-beading and embroidery and mixing textures, using quality fabrics.
