Michael by Michael Kors

UPDATE: This post has been updated on August 24, 2011. Scroll down to see the new adds.

So you might already know about my love for all things Prada and if you’ve been following this blog for a while you’ll probably also know that I’m big, really BIG, on the leopard trend (which is still going strong these days). Hence my obsession with these leopard-printed Prada platforms shouldn’t come as a surprise to you. These heels are absolute head-turners and all what’s needed to make a monochrome outfit pop. Just look at Emmy Rossum rocking her Pradas with leather skinnies, a white blazer and a neon yellow purse. Doesn’t she look amazing? Now even if you were willing to spend a fortune on a pair of shoes, it’s too bad, but they’re long gone and all sold out.

However, this ain’t a reason to give up on a pair of fabulous leopard platforms à la Prada. Enzo Angiolini “Farrel” pumps will give you the same wild look but for a much smaller investment. Who can say no to leopard shoes at that price level? I know I can’t.

Drew Barrymore‘s outfit choices are as unpredictable as is her personality. And while she’s probably not the first who’d come to mind when thinking of a style icon, this outfit here I L.O.V.E. The actress made an appearance on Letterman to promote her newest film “Going The Distance“. Drew looked absolutely amazing in a bronze sequin top by Richard Chai with navy high-waisted Camilla and Marc pants and grey suede Yves Saint Laurent Trib Too pumps. I love how relaxed and glamourous she looks at the same time.

If you couldn’t guess by now wedges are THE summer shoe of 2010. Espadrille wedges have an especially summer feeling about them, don’t you think? So I recently happened to come across these Michael by Michael Kors flower espadrilles and boy am I in love! I picture them with everything one is practically living in during the summer months: airy dresses, roomy cargo pants, denim cutoffs, rompers, bikinis… you name it.

Animal prints. They can be a dangerous thing for women; nothing spells C-R-A-Z-Y like too much print on your person or in your house. But sometimes you can’t blame a girl for not being able to get enough, because all that tiger, and zebra, and cheetah…oh my! There’s just something about it that makes you feel exotic and wild.

Animal Print Heels – Designer Edition

You know here at InTheirCloset, we love you ladies, and we want to help all of you put your best foot forward. Especially one shod in a Wang Alla wedge—the only exception to the one print, one piece rule. Since prints are quite potent, the easiest way to ensure sartorial success is to limit that zip of zebra to your shoes. So we’ve rounded up the leaders of the designer pack, for your inspiration and fascination…

Let the sun shine! That’s exactly what Diane Kruger did 10 months ago at the Berlin photocall for Inglourious Basterds. Her itsy bitsy (that’s my speak for super short) dress by Louis Vuitton featured sailor-like buttons, side pockets and a bow across the chest which playfully complimented the color and cut. Though her outfit was accessorized with earrings, a watch and open toe shoes, they were all subdued to allow the dress to shine, almost literally, on its own.
