Why aren't you wearing this? Kenneth Cole Reaction Nite Off Sandal


The sandal is in the process of a style evolution. It began with the gladiator sandal -- when we first saw it a season or two (or three?) ago, it really seemed hard to wear. It was clunky and not terribly feminine, but now, of course, we love it. And so it's time to move on to the next stage.

More and more celebrities are sporting sexy sandals with a lot more material across the front than we were previously used to. Case in point: The Christian Dior Extreme Cutout Sandal, which was Carrie Bradshaw's shoe of choice in the SATC movie (and costs, depending on the material, $750 to $1000 or more).

Why aren't you wearing this? Lucky Brand Poppy Fields Patchwork Satchel


We don't know about you, but on some days we wake up feeling high fashion -- we've got poise and style and want to run around town in heels and look unapproachably gorgeous. On other days, we wake up feeling a little less au currant, but that doesn't mean we plan to schlep around in sweats and carry a backpack for a purse -- not a chance!

Why aren't you wearing this? Nine West Lovable Flat


When we first saw this shoe, we thought, "Huh. That's cute. It looks like something we would have worn back in our childhood days," and we dismissed it from our thoughts. And then we saw it again, and the appeal was still there, but this time without any thoughts of playgrounds and Sunday school -- we realized we wanted this shoe in the here and now. Especially since it's on sale at Piperlime.

Why aren't you wearing this? Big Buddha Brooklyn Bag


The days of matching your handbag to your shoes is over. Sure, you still could be matchy-matchy, but it's not required. And so, if you have a big, bright handbag that you love, you can wear it with all kinds of outfits and all kinds of shoes.

Shop at Banana Republic, Gap, Old Navy and Piperlime at the same time


You probably know that Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy and Piperlime are owned by the same corporation. You can use your card from one store at all of the other stores, and they all do a ton of cross promotion with Piperlime, the shoe site.

Why aren't you wearing this? Melie Bianco Reversible Tote


There's not much that adds punch to an outfit the way a metallic accessory does -- it's exciting, it's new, it's hot. It just makes us walk with a little more strut in our step. However, we will never completely bail on our good buddy brown. Brown has seen us through more trends than we care to remember, and it feels so comfy and safe.

First of all, if you haven't yet visited Piperlime, I highly encourage you to do so. It's shoe shopping at its best -- thousands of fabulous styles, great designers, and searchable in a number of ways (by price, likeFantastic Finds Under $75; by style like Sandals, Flats, Pumps, etc.; and by designer). And, best of all, no snobby shoe salesperson making comments about your pedicure!

The site now has a new, fun way to search -- you can choose to browse through stylist to the stars Rachel Zoe's picks. Want to see what she picked? Check out our gallery and see if you agree with her choices. Maybe you, too, could be a celebrity stylist!

Shoes of the Day: Shoes with Architecture

giuseppe zanotti architecture wedge sandalWe often refer to "skyscraper" heels here at Styledash, and when we do, we're usually just talking about stiletto heels that send your long, lean physique towering. However, this Spring, "skyscraper" is taking a truly architectural bent in shoes that not only feature high heels, but hard-angled designs that could look like you're, well, wearing little buildings on your feet. Now we're not saying we necessarily love the look of these super clunky shoes, but they were featured on the runways for Spring '08.

The shoe show is Giuseppe Zanotti's Cream-colored "wedge" sandal that has a 6" heel (we love that height!), but a 2½" platform, so you feel like you're sashaying on a mere 4½". The 100% leather shoes feature an oversized adjustable buckle on vamp, and ankle strap with an adjustable buckle, and contrast stitching.

Available at PiperLime for (sit down for this) $750.

Piperlime might woo me away from Zappos

piperlimeI thought I had a serious shoe addiction when I was trolling zappos all day long (oh the wonder of the web), but I think I have found something that just might woo me away.

PiperLime is a new venture from Gap, which is trying to expand its brand from affordable denim and casual wear to one of the fastest growing segments in online shopping, shoes. The site, which launches officially on November 1st, will have everything from inexpensive manufacturers to high-end designers. Gap thinks it will differntiate itself from other online shoe sites by featuring celebrity "guest editors" who will hand-select shoes. Their first guest editor is stylist Rachel Zoe.

While some financial analysts are questioning Gap's move from a business strategy perspective, as a person interested in clothes and fashion, it sure makes sense to me. If you're going to wear clothes, you certainly can't go barefoot.
