Spats



VICTORIA BECKHAM

Mom-of-four Victoria shows off her enviable curves in a figure-hugging, two-tone tube dress, leather spats and pointed pumps.


What is that? According to wiki
Spats (originally a contraction of spatterdashes) are a type of classic footwear accessory covering the instep and ankle. Spats were primarily worn in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.


Okay, now I know. I'm not a VB fan but I so like her style sometimes be they are eccentric. They're her statement and sort of trophies (not sports trophies unlike her husband). Her style makes me curious.

Orange-y

I like RW's purse and scarf. The colour is nice - something rusty. I know, we are now going into the warm if not hot weather but this is just something to think about come winter time, which is next year. Just hedging, like what other people do when buying dead sea minerals.

REESE WITHERSPOON'S PURSE

Could you please let me know who makes that gorgeous cognac handbag Reese Witherspoon has been carrying? – Linda

New Look Shoes

These certainly are not poppy's bday gifts but if you are interested in one, click here.

Look at MK's legs with those boots? She already has mile-long legs but with those shoes, more mileage were added.


CHUNKY PATENT BOOTIES

Miranda Kerr rocks her edgy spin on the classic black pump with short-shorts and a blazer, though it would look equally cute with a flowy dress and tights or colorful skinny jeans.

Madden Girl "Razcal" bootie, $35, dsw.com
Michael Antonio "Mckey" bootie, $45, endless.com


I am not into colourful shoes but if I ever want to buy a pair, I'll get something like these.

NEON

Bold brights are the new neutral for stars like Emma Stone (wearing Brian Atwood), who go for eye-catching pops of color on their feet to accent otherwise subdued looks. This striking style works well for flats or pumps.
