We sought out the best of the bunch for the rest of our Summer days - flatforms, gladiators, espadrilles - and we did it all under budget.

Is the Flatform Just Too Much Platform?

OnSugar — Mon, 09 May 2011 14:24:17 PDT

OnSugar blogger styleology is on the fence with the flatform trend. Check out what she has to say about her dilemma below, and help her make a decision!

The S/S 2011 fashion season featured many trends. Among them is a trend that I have struggled with is the flatform shoe trend. Is it a flat or is it a platform. I have no doubts that these shoes may in fact be much more comfortable and provide you the height that you are probably looking for, but I've always been afraid that it could also make you look like you modified a shoe from Herman Munster's closet. I searched high and low to see if anyone would be brave enough to make this shoe style appealing to me, (I tend to think I have decent taste). I finally found two that I found extremely cute and would be perfect for Sunday brunch with the girls, paired with a mini skirt and a canvas carryall. What are your thoughts? Would you wear this trend?

Once the weather warms up, it's out with the boots and in with the sandals. And when I say sandals, I mean flip-flops - in every style, color, and brand - I practically live in them 24/7! Granted, flip-flops may not be the best shoes for your feet, always choose a pair with more support. Here are some that provide some additional cushioning and comfort.

Celebrity Trend Alert: Chunky Spring Heels

Hannah Weil — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 12:32:33 PDT

Spring shoe buzz has been largely devoted to the flatform, but there's another style we're eyeing. We've spotted Diane Kruger, Fearne Cotton, and Mary-Kate Olsen all sporting chunky Spring heels - and loved the look so much we added them to our own wish list. Thanks to strappy details, they have sexy appeal, while the thick platform caters to both our fashionable and functional selves. The thicker heels are more supportive - forget that kind of teetering that seems to go hand-in-hand with stilettos. Right now we're loving the safari-inspired versions by Proenza Schouler and the espadrille-inspired YSL version - just shop our editor's picks below to get the look.

Jessica Alba made a styled run around LA yesterday. Keeping it chic but casual, she mixed loose trousers with an open cardigan and standout accessories. We love the neutral-hued palette with just a splash of print on her cool Spring scarf ($10, originally $29). To finish, a pair of strappy sandals ($105, originally $150) and a canvas and leather tote. Just click the items above to shop a similarly easy, pulled-together ensemble.
