oxford pumps

I wasn't sure if the whole loafer trend was right for me, but I recently snagged a great deal on a pair at a thrift store. They're a beautiful camel color and surprisingly comfortable. Now, I have my eyes on these Yves Saint Laurent Loafer Pumps ($440). The sharp pointed toe gives them a sexy edge and the hidden platform front will keep my toes comfy all day long. Only problem with these babies is their price tag.

All The Hills girls were in attendance for Lauren Conrad's runway debut at LA Fashion Week — and I was there, too! I was sitting across the way from Audrina, Lo, and the gang, so I got a good look at how Fab Whitney's cut-out heels were — no surprise, since her wardrobe is your favorite from The Hills. Turns out they were Opening Ceremony Cut-Out Oxford Pumps ($335), a little pricey but a lot of chic.

If you're going for a stylish but unconventional look, an open-toed oxford-style slingback like this Derek Lam Federica Leather Platform ($375, originally $750) is definitely a Fab option. Unfortunately, its score on the wallet-friendly scale isn't so high, so I found a shoe that has the same great design without the high price.

In last night's episode, prior to the drama with the photo shoot, Blair and Serena went on a mini shopping spree. Well, not so mini considering the shopping bags they're toting. Serena chose to go casual in her grey skinny Wrangler jeans, BCBG denim vest and Gucci Indy bag. As usual, Blair was dressed up in a Milly dress, black tights and oxford pumps.

This is one of my favorite Blair looks so far because she looks polished and a tad androgynous. Though sometimes she overdoes it with the tights, they go really well with this outfit. If you'd like to go shopping and look this chic, get her look below.
