Errr... espadrilles and opaques Alexa?

alexachung_espadrilles.jpg

The weather has been a bit up and down lately - one day we're reaching temperatures of 18°C, a week later we're getting snowed on. So this may explain Alexa Chung's seasonal confusion, pairing some summery espadrilles with black opaques for the Rolling Stones' Shine A Light premiere in London last Wednesday.

We all know Alexa isn't one to follow the pack when it comes to fashion, and this has gained her plaudits from Tatler and Glamour who both included her in their top 10 best dressed lists. But we want to know, is this look fashion forward or just a fashion no-no?

(If you decide yes, we've included some summery wedges for you to give this look a go... Product details after the jump.)

Skechers commercial circa 1997

Remember when Skechers were cool? You know, during the days just before Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera took turns to front their advertising campaign. Well if you don't remember, check out this commercial. The clothes and the shoe style's make me laugh - did we really wear those looks and shoes in 1997? Did you wear "the S"?

Check out of the "vintage" Skechers ads staring Aguilera, Ashlee Simpson and even Carrie Underwood here.

Gladiator Sandals as seen on Sarah Jessica Parker

sjp_dior_gladiator.jpg

Over the past six months or so, it's been pretty hard to ignore all the pap shots of the Sex and the City girls as they've been out and about filming what looks to be an amazing film with an equally amazing fashion closet!

So it's not really any surprise that the high street will be gearing up for the big release, with their own versions of the pieces we've seen Sarah Jessica Parker and co brandishing.

These heavy gladiator sandals are a prime example and for £55 from asos.com you can have a little bit of Carrie's wardrobe (and for a fraction of the price of the Dior ones). You might have to do a bit more hunting for that Eiffel Tower bag however!

Christian Louboutin Ariella Studded Boots

While these fierce Ariella boots aren't new by any means, I just happened to glimpse a photo of Rachel Bilson out and about in LA yesterday, and did a double take at these Louboutins which, I think, definitely up the hotness quotient of her outfit!

Seen on everyone from the Olsen twins to Beyonce to sometime Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger, the Ariella boot has a killer 12cm heel and has proven so popular they're sadly all sold out on net-a-porter.com.

But we can look at the page and dream can't we? (Or if you can live without the studs, Saks still have the suede version for $890.)

Chloe Sevigny's Opening Ceremony patent pumps exclusive to Shopbop

opening-ceremony.jpgActress Chloe Sevigny recently launched the first collection from her own label, Opening Ceremony, and these shoes, which are part of that collection, are now exclusively available at Shopbop. These are standard patent bow courts, but the bow is actually removable, so if you're not a bow person, you don't have to be. The slightly vintage style of these shoes is very reminiscent of the style of their creator, and if it appeals to your sense of style too, you can pick these up for $330 at Shopbop.

Diablo Cody shuns Stuart Weitzman's £1 million dollar Oscar shoes

diablocosdy.jpg

She may have won Best Original Screenplay for Juno, but we're all about the shoes here, so our main concern during last night's Oscar ceremony was the thorny issue of what Diablo Cody would wear on her feet.

She was supposed to be wearing the $1 million dollar Stuart Weitzman shoes pictured on the left of the picture above, but Cody had other ideas, writing on her MySpace blog: "I'm actually really pissed about this, now that I think about it. They're using me to publicize their stupid shoes and nobody asked me. I would never consent to a lame publicity stunt at a time when I already want to hide. I'm sorry if I sound like a party-pooper, but Jeebus."

Instead, she turned up at the ceremony wearing the gold flats shown above. A good choice, do you think?

Celebrity Shoes: Rose McGowan wears Jimmy Choo's 'Adina' to the opening of Fendi's new LA boutique

roseshoes.jpg

Rose McGowan decided to go colourful for the opening of Fendi's new Rodeo Drive boutique last week, pairing her lovely yellow prom dress with bright red shoes. I'm pretty sure Rose's shoes are Jimmy Choo's 'Adina' pumps, which are shown in black at the bottom of the picture. The style is currently unavailable, but Choo's red 'Obey' heels (top) are very similar, and are currently available in red for £340.
