My friends, the Bedazzle Bonanza was a success. I wish you all could have been there. We ate, drank, socialized, and of course, Bedazzled the day away. I asked for something colorful, lively, and sparkly to wear. Stay tuned for event pics!

I started you off with these Ash Bead Embellished Leather Gladiators ($209) because I wanted my shoes to sparkle, too. Let's see your creations.


Look #1, created by Sarahab145, is super sassy. Just my cup of chai.

One Two Buckle My Shoe?

Click it or ticket has been a national slogan for safer driving for some time.
Click it or ticket has been a national slogan for safer driving for some time. But the way we seemed to be obsessed with buckling up in the fashion business you could be forgiven for thinking retailers underwrote the campaign. As community member Shoeblog points out, ornate buckled sandals are a favorite of New York City women this summer and Bill Cunningham has the photos to prove it. The trouble is that these buckled shoes, with or without heels, have made the rounds for so long that even our favorites like Dolce Vita are now on sale and every copy cat on the block from Steve Madden to Guess has shipped a facsimile to market. So while everyone else is saying one two buckle my shoe we are sorely tempted to say three four shut the door on this trend. And if you really want a nice buckled shoe? Can we suggest these Manolo Blahnik Buckle Anklestraps? We will just leave you with a variety of choices below and you can do whatever feels right.

Trend Alert: The Gladiator Tuck

As fabulous as they are, I never said celebrities don't sometimes wear the silliest trends.

As fabulous as they are, I never said celebrities don't sometimes wear the silliest trends. The gladiator tuck is a questionable one. Here, some starry eyed youngins are sporting their skinnies tucked into their gladiator sandals. Sienna Miller was actually spotted wearing this style in 2005 and it's obvious as to why it hasn't caught on that quickly. I'm on the fence; I like the look with gladiator heels better, at least it elongates. I suggest sticking with dark colors — dark denims and brown and black glads. But if you're young, bold and funky, tuck yourself right in.
