I am a huge fan of Jennifer Aniston‘s style. She delicately walks the edges of trends while always maintaining a classic style that I’m pretty sure we’ll never look back on, thinking “God, WHAT was she wearing?” Last summer Jen started rocking a pair of Stuart Weitzman espadrilles that had me drooling. Clearly I wasn’t the only fan though; the Alex Espadrille Wedges flew off the shelves and were forever more impossible to find. They’re back now and available on several e-retailer sites and I would probably kill to own a pair. Seriously, I recommend you not being around me right now. Sadly these are just out of my price range.

UPDATE (05/22/2011): The “Alex” knockoff wave just won’t stop! I keep finding new Alex look-a-likes day in, day out. But these here by Sacred Heart are actually really, really amazing. They are soooo spot-on and, OMG!, look at the price. $49.99 – this deserves an award or something (still can’t loose the feeling these are just rebranded, look at N.Y.L.A.’s Colby, Black Rooster’s Colb & Bakers’ “Midtown”, they all look completely identical).

N.Y.L.A.s “Colby” wedges are super close to the real SW Alex espadrilles and kind of remind me of the Black Rooster version (might be just a rebranded version). Available in taupe (shown), ivory or black.

Last year during the annual Venice Film Festival in Italy Eva Mendes attended a dinner party hosted by Jaeger Le-Coultre looking like the summer goddess that she is. The actress wore a flowy white Chloé maxi dress which she accessorized with cork wedges and a luxurious diamond watch by Jaeger Le-Coultre. It’s a great summer look for a semi-formal event like a sophisticated garden party or any other outdoor event. Recreate Eva’s boho look with our equally stylish yet budget-friendly picks below.

I loved Giuseppe Zanotti‘s Special Edition platforms sandals right from the start when I first spotted them on Heidi Klum’s feet back in April. They are so fierce & so incredibly high (I probably couldn’t even walk in these mega platforms, but still). These are truly some special heels! They originally retailed for $1.385 in black or gold. The gold version has since sold out, but the black one is now on sale for 30% less.
