Gwyneth Paltrow’s Oscar Shoes

If the 2012 Oscars had an award for best bridal look, I would like to give it to Gwyneth Paltrow.  This white Tom Ford dress and cape are simply stunning and makes me want to renew my vows all over again.  I like that the dress is conservative in terms of how much skin is exposed yet the cut is very sleek, clean, and modern.  The cape is also a daring choice to aware of the red carpet (or alter for the bride),  but so practical if the weather is nippy outside. Gwyneth paired the dress with glittery gold Koko shoes by Jimmy Choo (the suede version is available for pre-order at Nordstroms for $1150.   Tell me, what did you think about this look?

Nicholas Kirkwood Springs to Life

The weather outside couldn’t get any drearier, but Nicholas Kirkwood’s spring line instantly breathed some life into this shoe blogger’s life.  The spring 2012 footwear collection is said to be inspired by florals and tropics from Kirkwood’s trip to Bali.  While this is certainly a 180 degrees departure from his sexy, fierce style of past collections and collaborations, these botanical beauties are pieces I’d love to see growing in my closet.
