Reese Witherspoon's premiere dress

Reese Witherspoon wears a Jason Wu dress to the "Like Water for Elephants" premiere. This look is a fresh take on the LBD, and copies are bound to be everywhere soon. For now, only a few designers (and a handful of mass market brands) have similar styles.
Happy Earth Day!

A true American classic

We go from a British (future) princess to an American one...
Jackie Kennedy Onassis made the whipstitch sandal by Jack Rogers famous in the 60s. These days the shoes come in a variety of heel heights, colors and styles, but the way they add a dash of All-American prep to a summer outfit will always stay the same.

Really?! Easytone Everything
posted by Jo Frances on April 19, 2011 9:34 amI'm big on multi-tasking, so when I read about the shoes that promise to "tone" you as you walk, I was curious. If I could tell myself that I was working out while grocery shopping; well, that's less time on the treadmill for me!
I never got around to buying a pair, though, so I don't know if these shoes really work. (Comments, anyone?) But now I see that there are also EasyTone workout clothes. The description sounds good: resistance bands are built into the clothes as well as a fit that supports you.
I'm intrigued, especially since some of these pieces are on sale...
Jennifer Anniston's Wedge Sandals
posted by Jo Frances on April 18, 2011 11:54 am
Last year, pictures of Jennifer Anniston wearing her "Alex" Stuart Weitzman sandals were everywhere, causing the shoes to sell out quickly.
I don't think it was necessarily the shoes, but how amazing she looked, wearing a simple white tee and baggy khakis. At 40. (!)
Anyway, the pictures don't really give you a sense of how high the wedges are. At four-and-a-half inches, they are really tall, and not very practical, especially at $365.
This year, Stuart Weitzman re-issued the shoe in a lower (2 1/2 inch) height. The original is still available, and it looks like it will be just as popular as ever. I'm showing a variety of sites to get the shoes since I've noticed that some sizes are already selling out. There are also a few look alikes that are priced a lot less:
