Gisele's New Sandal Collection

A year after her first collaboration with Ipanema, supermodel Gisele Bundchen is back with another sandal collection. The shoes, which are glamorous flip flops, are a perfect fit for spring. Her Blossom Collection takes inspiration from "delicateness, femininity, and beauty of flowers." The shoes are even eco-friendly. 

As for where you can wear them, that’s just about anywhere. Giselle’s blog says the line "presents four comforting and relaxed feeling styles that are a perfect match for a wide variety of looks. The flowery prints are complemented by a metal finish that gives them a special touch."

The ad campaign was photographed by Jairo Goldflus, and Gisele was styled by Rodrigo Grunfeld, so that she looks just like a flower. What do you think of Gisele’s sandals and the ad’s photo?

Stepping Out With Our Toes Out!

Every time I look at this Calvil Klein ad, I become very excited and... anxious! I cannot wait until I will be able to wear heels such as these! All those on the West Coast may be able to wear sandals any time they want, but this is definitely not the case in the MidWest! Last week, we had unbearably freezing days, and today, the temperature was up to 51 degrees! Soon, we will be able to wear footwear we can expose toe cleavage with! So exciting!

The GOOD, The BAD, The UGLY

Shoes, shoes, shoes! We, as women love our shoes. You can never have too many and the urge is always there for wanting more. It's something men simply do not understand about women.

Above we have a selection of shoes, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Which are which, you decide? We all have different opinions! Shoes come in different sizes, colors, height, patterns, fabric and most importantly design. Design is key and with some shoes you take one look and think no way, will anyone actually buy those? Which pair would you wear? Which pair would you trash? Which pair would you be ashamed to be seen in? Your opinions mean everything to us at CHAOS, so tell us what you think!!!

Teva's Ugly Step-Child

Just as every season brings about some new soon-to-be forgotten clothing trend, lipstick shade, and handbag, shoes seem to be the one item that are getting more and more ridiculous every season. Sure, I'm all for going outside of the box--I mean, who wants to wear flip-flops all season?--but when shoes stop functioning as well, shoes, then we have a problem. Which brings me to the collar sandal.

First of all, what exactly do these even go with? If you were to wear a skirt or dress, then you run the risk of rocking the cankle look. If you wear them with jeans, then wouldn't it be unpleasant to have your pants leg bunching up over the already awkward top of the shoe?

And suede? Isn't suede the worst material possible to wear in hot weather? Who wants to have ankle sweat while your toes are exposed?

But all practicality aside, these gladiator sandals-meets-ankle boots are just plain ugly. But if you can somehow find a way to pull them off, then we'd love to see some pictures.
