Naughty Monkey Space Invaders Pump in wine for $47.46

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

I’m loving the hot mix of conservative style and rock-and-roll edge in this Naughty Monkey Space Invaders Pump.  It’s a classic buckle pump with fun details - like the stud and cutout detail, distinct gold buckles and the patent leather wrap around part of the stacked heel.  This style in wine is available for $47.46 with free shipping at Amazon, the lowest price I’ve seen available right now.  Most other colors are $65-75.

Shoe Buzz: Shoes worn by Erin and Olivia in The City on MTV (plus Whitney)

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

I’ve covered Whitney Port’s shoe style on MTV’s The City but, of course, we have to discuss the footwear fashion choices of Olivia and Erin, her stylish co-stars on the show.  I’ve been studiously doing my The City analysis every week, examining and scrutinizing each episode for cute shoes (this is serious research, after all) and I’ve seen some notable ones, even in blink-an-eye-and-miss-it moments.  Let’s get things started with Olivia:

Perpetually pouty Olivia may go a tad overboard with the snobbery, but you have to admit she has fashion down pat (and perfectly coifed hair, I must say).  Like Whitney, she has a penchant for wearing black shoes with a bit of high drama in the design.  Here we see her in a promo photo looking fab and wearing some stylish black peep toe booties.

There are plenty of black peep toe booties out there, but the Steve Madden Roarr is probably the most similar I’ve seen.  It’s also listed on MTV’s SeenOn! as being inspired by Olivia’s black shoes on the show.  You can get them at Steve Madden in black, gray or purple for $109.95.  Need more options?

Left to Right: Madden Girl Aliza for $49.95 at DSW.com (use code BFRSHIP for free shipping when logged-in to Rewards account), Arden B Suede Peep Toe Bootie for $68 at Arden B and an extra 20% off with coupon code ABBDAY0209 until 3/6/09, Type Z Superstar for $62.10 at Zappos

In another episode, Olivia is shown walking on a sidewalk in New York City wearing a style with swinging fringe at the ankle.  It’s a nice effect, but she’s wearing black tights and the shot is quick, so it’s hard to see what exactly she’s wearing.  However, I suspect luxury designer-loving Olivia would approve of this Christian Louboutin Suede Fringe Pump, which is $1,095 at Neiman Marcus.  If you like the swinging fringe effect, without the Louboutin price tag, try these:

Left to right: Max Studio Fringed Suede Platform Stilettos for $123 + free shipping at Maxstudio.com, Steve Madden Molleyy for $39.99 at Steve Madden, Go Jane Fringed Suede Peep Toe Bootie for $21.50 at Go Jane

Let’s move on to Erin.  Erin definitely loves juggling men, but she also clearly loves fashion and has great style.  In episode 8, Whitney and Erin go out to see Whit’s boyfriend Jay play with his band and a reluctant Olivia goes along.  Beforehand, Erin and Whitney swing by Olivia’s apartment and check out her closet (which is unusually located right by the front door) and we catch a peek of Erin’s super-cute white ankle strap wedge heels that she donned with black tights.  I’m quite certain they are Corso Como, but it appears the exact pair is no longer available.  However, I found this style:    

The Corso Como Dodi Wedge is very similar to what Erin wore, although Erin’s pair only had a white ankle strap at the top.  This is a gorgeous shoe and I really love the effect of the black bow at the ankle.  This pair is available at Heels.com for $139.99 with free shipping. Amazon also has it in sizes 9-13 for $149.99.  While it’s hard to find look-alikes for this unique shoe, I think these pairs convey a similar look:

Left to right: Kenzo 293921 Espadrille for $319.95 with free overnight shipping at Endless, Jump Mond Shoe for $112 with free shipping at Zapppos, Miss Me Suri Heel for $32 at LuLus and an extra 15% off with LOVELULUS coupon code

We also spy Erin in an early episode looking smitten and making sweet music with then-beau Duncan.  The relationship may have fizzled for now, but fashion always remains.  Erin looks effortlessly chic in these perfect mid-calf camel-colored boots, which I suspect are also from Corso Como because they look a lot like this pair:

The Corso Como Benita Boot in cognac leather is fabulous and available at Shoes.com for $287.  It has ruching along the shaft and just enough heel to be comfortable, yet flattering.  You can also get 20% off using coupon code ENTSHOES09 during checkout, which drops the price to $229.60 with free shipping.  Here are some other options:

Left to right: Frye Carson Boot for $352 at Zappos, Steve Madden Lasoo Boot for $99.95 at Steve Madden and free shipping until 2/26/09, Steve Madden Gimbal Boot for $159.50 at Delias with free shipping after applying coupon code DXCW25 until 3/2/09 (Update: Get this boot for less at Steve Madden, where it’s listed for $109.99 with an extra 30% off until 3/5/09), Slouch Cowboy Boot for $39.50 at Wet Seal and free shipping with ENT0809 coupon code

Finally, we’re going to revisit Whitney’s ever-coveted black ankle strap heel, which I covered in my last shoes from The City post.  Fashion Kitty says on her blog that she’s received a lot of email about this pair and she’s sure it’s the Steven by Steve Madden Bryant.  MTV’s SeenOn also lists the Bryant as a pair inspired by “The L Word” episode, although some of the pairs they list are not the exact style worn on the series.  I think this shoe mystery may never fully be solved (unless Whitney herself clears it up), but I found a few additional options, like this Hale Bob Mum Pump, available at Shoes.com for $112 and an extra 20% off with coupon code ENTSHOES09 at checkout.  Although it isn’t exact, I love this shoe and I think it conveys the same look, which is what matters most.  Other similar styles:

Left to right: Cindy Says Pyramid Sandal for $179.95 and free overnight shipping at Endless, Steve Madden Triumphh for $111 at Shoes.com and an extra 20% off with ENTSHOES09 coupon code, Nine West Jay for $79 at Nine West and an additional $10 off with NWFALLV8 coupon code until 2/28/09, ALDO Streiff for $100 at aldoshoes.com with 10% off via coupon code STUDADV817002 and free shipping.

Update 3/2/09: I found another black ankle strap shoe option.  See my post on it here.

Cheap-A-Thon: Cute shoes under $20 at Endless

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

If you need some new kicks to add oomph to your spring wardrobe, but don’t have a lot to spend, you’ll be glad to know that Endless has a slew of cute shoes for $19.95 in their clearance section right now.  There are plenty of wedges, flats, flip flops and other styles available that are all perfect for warm-weather play.  Even better, standard shipping is free for every pair.   Here are a few of the standouts, each for $19.95 unless otherwise noted:

Going with black and white is a surefire way to up the versatility of any shoe and this Madden Girl Vyolit wedge keeps it light with its trendy flower ornament and perforated detailing.  The colorful polka-dot trim and cute gem in the center of the flower add extra spark.

 

Why wear one color when you can wear them all?  The cheerful Not Rated Piece of Cake flat in red features woven raffia in a rainbow of colors, red patent trim and a cute bow on top.  It’s also available in purple and blue versions. 

 

The fringe trend is still going strong and this BC Footwear Hot Springs sandal is a great way to apply it in a fun, colorful way.  The hanging strands of beads really up the cute factor.  This pair is $20 and comes in yellow, red, brown and black.

 

This Not Rated Summer Love plaid wedge has plenty of adorable details, like the natural shoestring that’s woven along the top of the shoe, the back bowtie and the contrasting pink platform and jute heel.  It’s also available in green, although sizes are limited. 

 

Here’s another endlessly wearable black and white pair with a patent leather look, which isn’t seen too much on a sneaker-style flat.  The Rebels Flicker has cool cutout circles covering the upper, a mary jane strap and white rubber sole.

 

The Sugar Bowtox Preppy Plaid Flat mixes a bit of funky and a little sweet, with its plaid upper, rubber sole and large bow embellishment.  The bright green color really stands out, but it also comes in a pretty sky blue version.

 

The CL by Chinese Laundry Godiva Sandal is offered in an array of eye-popping colors, like this bright fuchsia pair.  This slingback heel has perforated detail on the upper and a buckle ornament on the vamp.  Other color options are green, yellow, turquoise and black.
