Baby Got Back(less)- Mules are Back! How to Wear Them

Slides, mules, clogs-that oh so familiar clank-clank sound of backless shoes, have once again come around the fashion merry-go-round and are on every must-have ’IT’ list for spring. Are you ready?

Move over prepsters, wannabe blue bloods, and the yachting set! Sperry Top-Siders are having a F-A-S-H-I-O-N moment.

If anyone needs further proof as to how much Italian men love women, look no further than this:

Rome’s mayor, Gianni Alemanno acknowledges that the historic cobblestone city streets destroy high heels and ”has announced plans to begin a makeover on Via del Corso, one of Rome’s central (shopping) streets.

First Sarah Jessica Parker, now Blake Lively sports the fugliest Loubes

Help, I’m a celebrity and I’ll wear anything for attention!

I’m sorry, but in my opinion, you really MUST be a fashion victim to find these “lion paw” shoes remotely attractive.  We’re not really fans of  designer damning around here, but these Christian Louboutin “Alex” pumps are for the birds.

First, Sarah Jessica Parker sported them in Moscow this summer and now Blake Lively is wearing them

Celebrity Style Bust- Rihanna, the girl of too many things but one good Givenchy Antigona bag

I’ll Have What She’s Having (from the waist up): Rihanna manages to ruin a few very good pieces with some dang tacky tights and a girdle for a dress. There, I said it!

Rihanna was sporting some super chic fashion elements on her 3AM return to her hotel after her concert in Paris.

There’s the well-proportioned floppy fedora (unlike that over-sized Kim Kardashian monstrosity), the

Leg Work- Spring 2012′s Best Footwear -Celine, Dries Van Noten, Rochas, Yves Saint Laurent

After seasons of major statement making shoes with mind-boggling heel heights and preposterous ornamentation, we’re really feeling the simplicity of the footwear options we saw on the runways for next spring.

That’s not to say that footwear has been reduced to the simplistic and merely functional, quite the contrary indeed.

From YSL’s shielded heeled loafers to Rochas’ mirrored slides, there were plenty of options out there
