What To Wear When You Are Hungover

Leonora EpsteinJune 18, 2009 //

“The Hangover” is already a summer smash, killing it at the box office. While your morning-afters probably aren’t as dramatic, there’s no denying that being hungover sucks. And looking good when you feel ready to barf at any moment? Next to impossible. Be prepared next time with an outfit like this that will maximize your comfort.

  1. Sunglasses are a must, and the darker the lens, the better. [$162, Marc Jacobs, Bluefly.com]
  2. This loose-fitting gauze top won’t constrict, and can also allow you to wear a camisole sans bra underneath. [$38, BDG, Urbanoutfitters.com]
  3. Think harem pants are a risky fashion choice? Consider that a) they are super comfy and b) when you’re hungover you could give a rat’s ass. [$87, Splendid.com]
  4. Birkenstocks have a remarkable cushion and now come in non-hippy colors like this snazzy silver. [$79.95, Endless.com]

Crave: Canvas Cutout Heels

Amelia McDonell-ParryMarch 2, 2009 //

Oh Spring, are you almost here? We are dying, dying to ditch our boots and tights in the back of the closet and break out the open toed footwear. Expand your collection of strappy sandals, with this pair of canvas, lace-up heels from We Who See. The slight wedge in the heel and the rubber sole means these babies are not only on trend, but also comfy. Great for skipping your way to happy hour at the beer garden!

Crave: Devotte Shirley Sandals

Leonora EpsteinAugust 22, 2008 //

If you aren’t already a devotee of Devotte (we’re oh-so-witty), you are sure to become one after seeing this pair of classy kicks. These white and gold t-strap sandals combine ruffles and studs for the perfect combo of girly detail and boldness. Plus, they’re a great alternative to the gold gladiator sandal craze (who wants to look like everyone else, anyhow?). [$338, Devotte.com] Keep reading »

Since you’ll be stuffing your feet into boots for six months come November, why not have a little more toe-action with the latest crop of peep-toes, while you can? These shooties, booties and oxfords are sure to make the transition from summer to winter a lot easier, with their supple suede, classic leather and jewel tones. And you don’t even have to switch your bright toenail polish—this season is about breaking rules, after all. Keep reading »

Fashion Slideshow: Flip-Flop Madness

Catherine StrawnJune 4, 2008 //

You might think summer starts when the temperature finally reaches 80 degrees Fahrenheit, your roof deck opens up, and the beaches start charging admission, but you’re wrong. Summer doesn’t actually begin until you put on a fresh pair of flip-flops. Whether they’re the cheap plastic ones from a drug store or a work-appropriate leather pair, or a fancy bejeweled pair, flip-flops are the shoes of the season. Here are 10 that will let your feet take in the fresh air and sun – just don’t forget to paint your toes. We like a bright, punchy coral color like Coral Reef by Essie. Keep reading »

Fashion Slideshow: Fun & Fancy-Free Flat Sandals

Catherine StrawnMay 28, 2008 //

For whatever reason, we find that we wear heels more during winter than in any other season. When summer finally arrives, it’s like a breath of fresh air…for our hooves. Ahh, summer. Finally, a few months where we give our feet a break, put away the high-heeled pumps, and break out the flat sandals. Our toes are free to wiggle, are heels and arches are able to stretch out, and the dogs finally stop barking. While we totally love a traditional pair of flip-flops, from the dressed-down version (Havianas) to the dressed-up (bejeweled metallics from J. Crew), we’re psyched about all the other available flat sandals on the market. Ten of our favorites, after the jump! [Click the images for more information.] Keep reading »

Crave: Day-Glo Slides

Catherine StrawnMay 15, 2008 //

These neon green slides ($10.40 from Old Navy!) probably don’t match any of your clothes, so they’ll go with everything. I don’t recommend painting your toes a bright color if you plan on wearing them because that would be totally ’80s and way too matchy-matchy. [OldNavy.com]

Prepare Your Feet For Their Summer Wardrobe

Catherine StrawnMay 5, 2008 //

The temperature may or may not be warming up in your neck of the woods, but you’ve probably thought about — maybe even dreamed about — what shoes you’re going to wear this summer. (One of my favorite things about summer is that I don’t have to wear socks.) But before you start wearing flip-flops every day, know this: You need to ease your feet into whatever shoes you want to wear. Your feet get used to wearing heels, or boots, or whatever your footwear of choice happens to be, so they need a little time to adjust to something new. And, even if you have a favorite pair of shoes, try to alternate what you wear, and don’t forget to stretch your calves after wearing a pair of flat shoes for a while, as they can “strain the achilles tendon that runs from the back of the heel, and also the calf muscles in the back of the leg,” said Mike O’Neill, a spokesperson for the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists in the U.K. Or just go barefoot.
