Ruched

Lady Gaga, Lady Gaga, Lady Gaga. I’m sorry, but that’s the first thing that comes to mind when I look at these Giuseppe Zanotti boots. You? Yes, no… not so much? Well, put it this way: these aren’t for everybody. For one thing, the heel height, I’m gonna guess, is about 6-7 inches! At 5’10″ I will be passing on these. Not that it matters, these height-be-damned booties are $1.250 and oh yeah fashionable monsters – SOLD OUT!

Enzo Angiolini “Filia” Zip Ankle Boots

Hello Enzo Angiolini! I’m really feeling these “Filia” ankle boots that mirror (in a reverse funhouse kinda way) the Zanotti boots. The heel height is definitely about 3-4 inches shorter. Constructed in suede and not what I’m sure is butter-like leather. Consolation prize? Available in grey & black for only $149! I don’t know about you, but this makes me wanna… just dance! ;-)

I’m not sure what I like best about Ashley Greene in this golden yellow D&G Strapless Silk-Satin Dress. The hot bod? The legs? The shiny hair? The heels? A combination of pattern and color that almost feels like leopard print? OK, this is futile. Let’s just tick all of the above and consider it done. Some people have a hard time wearing yellow. Ashley is apparently not one of them.

If there’s one thing we’re going to see a lot of this fall, it’s going to be sheepskin-lined leather jackets as presented by Christopher Bailey for Burberry Prorsum‘s Fall 2010 collection. We’ve already seen first previews of this trend in H&M’s and Topshop’s Fall lookbooks, but UK fast fashion chain New Look is the first to launch these kind of jackets in the heat of July. I ♥ this one and at £40 (approx. $62) it’s unbelievably light on the wallet. Did I mention their US shipping rates are quite budget-friendly, too? Go figure.

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!

Alexander Wang is arguably the master of rock grunge. His clothes are exquisitely designed but also have a downtown edge. So leave it to Wang to create a LBD that is equal parts East-Village and Red-Carpet. A nude under layer hints at skin without actually showing any and a sweetheart neckline adds…well, sweetness. I’ll tell you what isn’t sweet, though: that price tag. Oh, and did we mention it’s also sold out? Sit tight, though, we just might have something for you…

Topshop Bandage Ruch Bandeau Dress

Topshop‘s “Bandage Ruch Bandeau Dress” might not be a dead-ringer for the Alexander Wang dress above, but by golly it’s darn close. I might even argue that it’s better. I’m really enjoying the thicker bands of fabric that are strategically placed over the hip and bust area. Of course we still have that hint of a sweetheart neckline and the mini-length and at $90 ($90!) this really is a steal. I predict this one will sell out fast.
