It’s no secret that I just adore Mrs. Victoria Beckham—and this outfit, in particular, is one of my very favorite ensembles. She’s managed to rock three hot trends at once (the blazer, utilitarian/military, and nude pumps) and not look like a trend victim. And what’s the recipe for her success? Clean lines, solid neutrals. But don’t you worry about that. We’ve done all the legwork for you below.
Like most of us, it’s taken Victoria some time to find her style, but those years of experimental blond hair and overindulgence in the Mystic Tan booth were worth it, because the lady is now a masterpiece of her own making. There are some women who fall into the “classy” category, ones that fall into the “sexy” category, and ones that make the “cool” category. Rare is the woman—like VB—who can be described as all three.

Wow… what’s there to say about Penélope Cruz in this incredible nude sheath by Dolce & Gabbana except caliente? She looks phenomenal. The dress is exquisite, as are the to-die-for nude Christian Louboutin peep-toes. She gets two thumbs up, an A++, and first place.

Penélope Cruz’ Look 4 Less
Love Pen in that frock, and I’m sure you do too. So here’s the real-world, real-girl version, for less than $243. And a customer testimonial for you…I have those nude Whitsey pumps, and they are astoundingly fabulous! If you follow me on Twitter (@gritandglamour), you can see a photo of them on me (and let’s hope you’re already a follower of @intheircloset, because you often get our amazing sale scoop there first). They are my new favorite pumps, and mind you, I’m not a big fan of peep-toes. But this is a very special shoe. Truuuuuust me. Happy spring and happy shopping!

I know we covered nude shoes here only a few days ago, but I just happened to come across the loveliest nude pump ever! The “Moos” by ALDO! Isn’t this shoe pure perfection? I absolutely love the lightweight nude shade; the heel is high, but not unmanageable, it has a nice platform for extra comfort and the patent (real!) leather adds some shine. The price of $75 is very reasonable, too. The downside? Only size 8 available… bummer (damn you, size 9 feet!) These shoes do come in an array of other neutral colors though including a taupe version for darker skin colors.

We’ve been getting quite a few requests lately to do a post on affordable nude shoes. It’s a trend I have first seen emerging on the red carpet about 2 years ago. Eva Longoria seems to be pioneering this trend as she owns a multitude of nude heels. From simple Louboutin pumps to luscious champagne colored satin evening sandals we can regularly see Eva sporting nude footwear on and off the red carpet. And who can blame her? It’s probably as flattering as a shoe trend can be because nude shoes naturally elongate your legs and can be worn with almost any outfit either dressed up or down.
We’ve made it our mission to find the best nude heels for under $100 and I’m really satisfied with how many fabulous nude shoes are currently on the market for a budget-friendly price. Now that spring has finally come and temperatures are rising, it’s time to lighten up our wardrobes… starting with our shoes! Enjoy our finds and let us know whether or not you like this trend or if you already have a pair of nude heels in your closet.

If you’re a fan of the ankle boot trend and have a thing or two for edgy details like decorative zippers, you will most probably be in love with these open-toe booties by Giuseppe Zanotti. While I’m not a fan of the pinkish color, I admit I’m quite smitten with the style. The retail price of $1178 is quite a turn-off; even the sale price is not my cup of tea.

Michael Antonio “Miksa” Zip Ankle Boots
Once again it’s Michael Antonio who rocks my world by delivering an almost identical copy of the fierce Giuseppe Zanotti booties. I much prefer these ankle boots in classic black, but they also come in red, grey or brown. Sizes are already starting to sell out, so be quick to order if you fancy the style.
