Trend Alert: Pointed Toe Pumps

FabSugar — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 04:00:22 -0800

Just when I had really embraced round toe pumps, the pointed toe comes back on the scene. While there are some celebs who will always swear by pointed toe pumps - SJP and Cameron Diaz come to mind - there are really so many choices out there. I think the girlie girl in me gravitates towards the round toe, while the bad girl is seduced by the fierce pointy toe. Clearly I'm on the fence - where do you stand?

The Look For Less: Yves Saint Laurent Pointed Toe Loafer Pumps

FabSugar — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 03:00:22 -0700

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.

These Urban Outfitters Pour La Victoire Loafer Heels ($188) have the same stellar pointed toe and are much more reasonably priced. They don't come in black, but the brown would look nice with my earth-toned ensembles.

Fall Glimpse: Perfect Pumps

FabSugar — Thu, 05 Jul 2007 05:15:44 -0700

While I always look to Balenciaga's Nicolas Ghesquiere for magnificiantly over-the-top shoes, it appears his creations are in the minority for Fall. Perfect pumps in modern, classic shapes strutted down the runways - and what is that I see? A variation of pointed toes? Could the round toe be making a departure? Perhaps. I adore this black pump with wooden heel at Yves Saint Laurent - talk about a power shoe!

Check out all my Fall 2007 coverage here!

Trend Alert: Pointed Toe Flats

FabSugar — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 06:00:22 -0800

You went gaga over the lovely pointed toe pumps I featured not too long ago. So my question is: do pointed toe flats have the same effect? When I look at these I see ladylike, flirty and sophisticated. But I always have the slight feeling when I'm wearing a pair that my feet look really long, almost witch-like. Maybe that's just my foot neurosis. Do these make you swoon?

Who Wore It Better? Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent Floral Dress

FabSugar — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 11:00:22 -0800

I featured this dress a while ago and am still a fan. The Asian-inspired floral pattern is not too in your face, and the brown belt perfectly neutralizes the silky dress. I'm not the only fan of this Cynthia Vincent frock. Maggie Grace wore it back in August at the Los Angeles premiere of Superbad, and Autumn Reeser recently wore it to the 14th Annual Lint Roller Party in LA. While the dress suits both actresses' youthfulness, I'm leaning towards Maggie's pointed-toe pumps and simple clutch - it's a bit sassier. Who gets your vote?

Twelfth Street Silk Shortalls: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 03 May 2007 08:10:22 -0700

It's amazing how much color can make or break an outfit. Case in point, these Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent Silk Shortalls, $150. In the apricot color, they are hideous. But in black, it is rather wearable and chic. I would sport this at night with peep-toe leopard pumps and some sassy gold bangles. Do you all love it or hate it?

FabSugar — Tue, 19 Sep 2006 08:20:18 -0700

Schoolgirl plaid is back for Fall and Winter 2006, but this time, the classic look has been updated with a sexy twist. Designers are making plaid patterns either very bold or subtle and feminine, with both slim and flirty fits. Take a peek at some new plaid looks.

Available in a deep purple-blue color palette called ink pad, the adorable, feminine LaRok Plaid Silk Charmeuse Matinee Dress comes complete with "peekaboo" fabric, meaning parts of the dress are more sheer than others. For now, you can buy it directly from Bok at (212) 362-5405 for $248, but it will be available online at Bloomingdales.com shortly.

These girly yet sophisticated Delman Red Plaid Quinn Kitten Pumps put a spin on classic tartan plaid with a touch of modern glamour. Made from wool with grosgrain trim, the shoes have a pointed toe with suede fringe and a gold safety pin accent. Buy them here on sale for $147.
