Real vs. Steal – Derek Lam Odesa Lace Up Sandals

by Vahni on January 5, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on January 05, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

Hmmm. This Lam looks a little like a very popular Lou I have been coveting for several seasons now. Love the corset-like lacing and summery cork heel. And we all know there is nothing sexier than a sandal that ties around the ankle. But what I don’t love: $790 for this pair? Um, no, thank you, Derek Lam.

Carlos by Carlos Santana “Tamingo” Lace-Up Sandals

That Carlos, he knows just what a Black Magic Woman wants, doesn’t he? Or maybe it’s not that he knows what women want, but what men want to see on them. The “Tamingo” Lace-Up Sandal by Carlos by Carlos Santana is uh, how do you say…caliente, papi! Gorge. And $99 plus 15% off? Got your spell on me, baby.

Celebrity Look 4 Less – Leighton Meester in Army Green Cargo Pants

by Vahni on August 11, 2010

I jumped on the skinny cargo movement a couple months back, so you know I just adore Leighton Meester in this utilitarian look. I didn’t think skinny cargos could be flattering, but the more I see them on, the more I am proved wrong. Leighton’s look may be neutral, but it’s anything but boring. And the best part is it is so easy to recreate, as you can see below.

In Jessica Simpson’s Closet – Stella McCartney & Derek Lam

by Celine on April 28, 2010

Poor Jessica Simpson has gotten a ton of flack lately for her weight, but personally I think her body looks awesome – it’s her fashion sense that needed some work. Fortunately, she seems to have gotten into the groove of things again (and/or has a new stylist) and has been looking every inch the beauty that she is. The paparazzi caught Miss Simpson leaving the Ritz Carlton a few days ago, wearing a Stella McCartney Floral Print dress that (and I’m pretty certain about this) needs to end up in my closet for all to be right with the world. Jess paired the dress with a motorcycle jacket, a luxurious-looking, white Derek Lam bag and grey t-straps. Now let me see: I already have grey t-straps, a moto jacket and a white bag in my closet; I’m just missing the dress. Jessica, call me if you want to do a little swap-a-roo. I have a Forever 21 dress with your name on it!
