Trend Alert: Knock on Wood

FabSugar — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 08:00:22 PDT

Knock on wood. But this time, try it with your feet instead of your knuckles. Sound awkward? But it looks so good. Wooden heels meld together sophistication and sass.

A wooden heel gives off a nonchalant attitude, while the sleek design puts your manner in check. Thanks to the elevated platform and absorbent heels, these platforms are fairly comfortable and easy to walk in.

Roberto Cavalli Wooden Wedge Sandals: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 15:00:22 PDT

Color me crazy, but I fancy these Roberto Cavalli Wooden Wedge Sandals ($1,850). The outrageously high heel reminds me of my favorite Disney character, Minnie Mouse, and the spur heels are fierce - eccentric glamour defined.

Trend Alert: Knock On Wood

Wooden heels are a Summer cult classic that will never go out of style. The retro staple is back with an avant-garde twist and has reinvented itself with a fun juxtaposition of organic and modern architecture. There are oodles of ways to wear this trend so have fun!

Brittney Stephens — Mon, 07 May 2012 11:51:32 PDT

Wooden sandals were all the rage on the Spring runways at Proenza Schouler, Mara Hoffman, Donna Karan, and more, and we're loving the tribal-cool touch they give to our signature warm-weather pieces.

We've rounded up 15 of the season's coolest wooden sandals; click through to see and shop them all now.

First Look! ASOS's New Spring/Summer Africa Collection

Chi Diem Chau — Tue, 01 May 2012 14:45:05 PDT

We're going wild for ASOS's new sustainable Spring/Summer Africa collection, which just launched today at ASOS.com. The 21-piece line includes crop tops, shorts, shirt dresses, and trousers featuring the bold patterns we're craving this season - we're also suckers for the cute giraffe and zebra prints. If you're not familiar with the line, you'll be happy to hear that the ASOS Africa collection is made in collaboration with SOKO Kenya, providing opportunities for underprivileged communities to establish sustainable, modern business through local craftsmanship. Additionally, a portion of each purchase goes to support local communities in Africa. We love fashion for a cause, and if you do too, check out the top three looks below, then click the slideshow to see the rest of the collection.

We'd like to pair this cool tank dress with a white blazer and wooden heels for a fun office ensemble.
This outfit strikes the perfect balance between modern and simplistic. We love the printed jacket paired against the gray cropped trousers.
How cute is this bold striped suit set? The short-sleeved jacket is ideal for dressing on a hot Summer day.

Look of the Day: Spring Charm

Fab reader TheFancyTeacup's savvy, feminine attire could work for a day in the office or for a weekend date. She paired a Zara silk leopard face print blouse with a basic pleated skirt from Forever 21. By scrunching up the sleeves and pairing the outfit with Zara wooden platform heel sandals, she made the outfit a little more leisurely and daytime appropriate. The cherry Zara miniature shopper tote and the gold side buttons on the pleated skirt add the perfect bit of punch and charm to the Spring ensemble.

Congrats TheFancyTeacup!
