I wear a lot of flats, and thongs are fine expect when wearing a dress.  So, I am always looking for nice flats that will look nice with nice dresses, even for the evening.  And for travel, it is just so much easier to run around all day in them and much smaller to pack!!  You know, it is so much harder shopping for flats because there just aren't that many options that are acceptable for dressing up.  Here are a few of my favorites, 3 of which are absolutely appropriate for evening at a nice restaurant.  The Jimmy Choo Flat Sandals is your most basic, I think most of us who wear flats already have these but they are now on sale so go ahead and replace it, $485 Sale for $226. The Muse Woven Leather Sandals for $226 is a thong but it has a cross strap that makes it a notch fancier but I would wear these with casual dresses and not a cocktail dress for nights.  These are super comfy!

My favorite flat of the season are these Chloé Ankle-Tie Flat Sandals $495.00 Sale $230, I have it in nude with black straps (sole and ankle straps are nude).  It comes with nude and black ties so you can switch them out as needed.  I am obsessed with ankle strap shoes of all kinds and is super chic with your LBD.  The Bottega Veneta Copper Ayers Sandals for $620 will take you all around town and beyond. It is easy to do flats with light summery colors but this copper takes you in to evenings with a lot more versatility.

Is it even sexy to see these two people half nude? It's not like they haven't stripped down in public before-- like a dozen other times for countless other ads/magazines. The Beckhams are so over exposed I'm neither shocked nor intrigued-- in face, I'm bored. Now if Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith did this ad, that would be SEXY! What about you? What celeb couple would you rather see in this ad than these two robots?

The latest trend in Hollywood is motocross style jeans-- just when we thought we'd seen every style of denim imaginable! I am on the fence about these, they look weird on Cameron because the knee patch is way up on her thigh cuz she's got super long legs. I think you need to be average height like Rihanna to wear them and look normal. Petite girls will have to cut some much off the bottom that the motorcycle patch will end up at their shin instead of their knee. Not cute. What do you think? Snob or Slob?

I walked by a Forever 21 store a month ago and was enticed by a wall of rainbow colored skinny pants. I decided to try a pair on and was amazed at how well they fit! I grabbed about 12 pairs and have been wearing them almost daily. Every time I wear them my friends freak out and want the same-- when I tell them they cost less than a cocktail they really lose it! At least 7 girlfriends have copied me and scooped multiple pairs for themselves. I wear them with everything from Rick Owens jackets to tiny tee shirts. The cotton fabric is fairly lightweight and stretchy so it's way more comfortable than jeans in 100 degree weather. I've been waiting to feature them because I didn't know if they'd fall apart like my past F21 purchases! I'm pleased to report that after weeks of multiple washing and drying, they are still holding up. My favorite pairs are the white and grey, it's a great alternative to leggings. If you want to try them, get a size smaller, they stretch and by the end of the day will be very loose (but a quick wash and dry shrink them right back up!). $13.50 at Forever21.

Leggings disguised as jeans have a new name: Jeggings (they are as awful as they sound!).   Just look at the photo sent to me from a PR person who touted the supposed 'chic' style of the celeb wearing this hideous thing.

I'm sure you can guess who this is-- what other celebutante heiress would venture to this side of tackiness? Okay, I'll just tell you-- it's none other than Paris Hilton. What the hell is she wearing you ask? It's Niki Biki's Seamless Denim Leggings in Blue. 

Knit from nylon, cotton and spandex, the stretchy faux denim leggings are popular with Paris + friends (and we know they are the arbiters of taste, aren't they?)

Niki Biki Seamless Denim Legging come in Blue, Black and Charcoal and are available at www.RepeatPossessions.com for $33.

And you thought jeans couldn't get any tighter or skinner!?!?

What do you think of Jeggings? Snob or Slob?

I am a bit obsessed with Alexander McQueen's Black Leather fingerless gloves-- I see it as the modern day version of lady like gloves, except the lady lives in a walk up in SoHo and could care less what others thought of her.  You can get it in many versions, including this strangely appealing clutch here.  But to complete the Glam Rock Goddess look, one needs the appropriate wardrobe-- I've chosen a few of my faves for the season. 

Miu Miu Pleated Jersey Dress- Who knew blue and ruffly could look so urban chic!?

Diane von Furstenberg Davinia sequined silk top - Skinny leather legging with this top and the gloves, I die!

Miu Miu Leather Biker Jacket- Every rock goddess needs a biker jacket, this is much more glam than the one Joan Jett sported but every inch bad ass.

See by Chloe Sequin-embellished dress- I see this with a pair of knee high boots and of course, those gloves!!!

While we have been seeing stars like Beyonce and fashionistas like Nina Garcia embrace the fierce trend by sporting military-style Balmain numbers and glitzy accents, many stars are opting for dropped waists on their fitted dresses, covered knees, high-waist skirts, and traditional styles (including lots of simple, but very high-heeled black pumps). This has created a veritable duality in the dominant trends we're seeing right now. What I love most about this duality is that they can easily be mixed and matched (think Victoria Beckham who can rock a ODLR cocktail dress one day and an angular Balmain blazer the next). What do you think about Bourgeoisie vs. Fierce? Jump for some Bourgeoisie looks!

Bag Snob is impressed with the Zigliani Lace Leather Bag.

Tot Snob found a great pair of Ballerina Slippers by Chloe.

Nitrolicious is happy to have found a nice affordable pair of caged sandals with these N.Y.L.A. Isabel Caged Sandals.

Alexander McQueen's Resort 2010 was inspired by art and artists this season.  Gorgeous eagle and optical motifs along with Jackson Pollock worthy paint splattered skinny pants make this collection one of the best I've seen this season.  I must have this dress below-- it is at once structured, feminine with a controlled fluidity that marks an era of a new silhouette.  What do you think?     

Sexy and comfort usually does not happen in the same sentence but in this shoe it does. I love YSL for the mile high stilettos but they are not exactly meant for walking, not even to the car and back. Well, take a closer look at the platform on this shoe, it is much wider, it goes farther back to give additional support. It isn't exactly as good as a wedge but it has a similar effect AND you get the sex appeal of a true stiletto, how awesome is that? And if you love flare, and I know you girls do, the bow detail gives this classic and versatile shoe some oomph that is easy to pull off. New for Fall at Neiman Marcus for $795.
