How to Get the Holly Golightly Look

Karla Manlangit — Mon, 23 May 2011 07:31:45 +0000

In the midst of the bustling metropolis, she is a beautiful lady who strolls about in a leisurely pace and still manages to leave her worries behind. Holly Golightly may be a “wild thing” but there is nothing frenzied or tragic about her look. From the pages of Truman Capote’s novella to Audrey Hepburn’s portrayal of her in the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s, her look has become iconic and is widely replicated all over the world.

It’s easy to embody Holly’s timeless and effortless chic. All you have to do is get a hold of the basics—little black dress, sunglasses and simple heels. Throw in a black floppy hat, a string of pearls, a pair of stud earrings and you’re good to go.

I like this short gauzy dress by Velvet because it’s a modern take on Holly’s dress. Aside from the length, the ruching gives the little black dress a fun dimension.

Velvet Billy Gauzy Whisper $83.00

J’adore! Match the dress with a pair of this sleek pointed pumps with attitude. Get it in Black Croco to make it more interesting.

Nine West Nuncio $41.40

Being a girl about town, you have to be comfortable as well as classy. Substitute your more lofty footwear for patent leather ballet pumps. Trés chic!

Michael Kors Odette Ballet Flat $150.00

Holly is hardly anywhere with her big and dark sunglasses. This round classy pair will finish the look off perfectly.

Nine West Rose Plastic Sunglass $38.00

Bring Holly’s chic look into your wardrobe and watch yourself transform into that very stylish girl. Items are available on Nine West and Revolve Clothing.

Summer on My Mind: Bally Roxine and Other Retro Shoes

Erika — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 18:25:29 +0000

Yes, we know, it’s the dead of winter and summer is the farthest thing from happening right now. But how else are we supposed to fight off the winter blues except by injecting some bright color into our daily lives?

Longing for open-toe season isn’t going to do much, so here’s one way to stave off that hunger for the meantime: looking at bright, colorful retro shoes. And no, it’s not a waste of time because shopping for discounted off-season clothes is always a great way to pre-stock your closet AND save some money.

Like for instance, the designer shoes on this page are all on sale at 50% off and more…

Time to get into a summer state of mind!

Bally Roxine Wedges, $231.00 down from $454.00

The soft brown suede, the floral embroidery, and the buckled straps all atop a cork wedge – how much more summery can you get? Now all we need is a flowy summer dress…

Michael Kors Citrine Platforms, $237.50 down from $529.00

The platform on these shoes have a similar shape to the Pleaser USA shoes we previously featured, but anything with braided straps always automatically belong to the sunnier months for us no matter how they look.

A. Testoni F521232 Wedges, $262.36 down from $629.00

The product description says that the design on the wedge heel is an “equestrian print” – kind of like the prints on ever-famous Hermes silk scarves. Winter scarves are great for keeping warm and all, but keeping cool in silk scarves is something we’d take over heavy fleece and wool any day.

Jean Paul Gaultier GA16039E0P G16 Wedges, $399.00 down from $839.00

Here’s the most colorful of them all: the Gaultier wedges. It’s bright violet with neon yellow, a touch of khaki and a splash of black. We hear color combos like these are going to be big for summer.

All of these retro shoes are available on Zappos.com.
