Trend Alert: Colorblock Shoes


I saw this photo on Just Jared yesterday. Jessica Seinfeld hosted a party at the Balenciaga store in East Hampton, NY to benefit her charity Baby Buggy (which is a fantastic organization, by the way). More interesting than the star power here is....those shoes! Jessica's and Gwyneth's, I mean (the third lady in the photo- on the right- is still working the tiresome gladiator trend, which I never understood to begin with). Are "colorblock" shoes the next big thing? Ever since I saw The September Issue where Vogue's creative director Grace Coddington rocked a colorblock photo shoot, I have adored this fashion trend. You'll find lots of colorblock-style garments, by the way, in the Boden catalog (like this Colourblock Milano Coat). But I haven't seen colorblock shoes before. Me likey. Though I'm guessing these shoes are priced wayyyy beyond what I ever would (or could) spend. I'll investigate the knockoffs...

What do you think of Jessica's and Gwyneth's shoes in this photo? And, let's be a little catty...what do you think of Gwyneth in this photo? Her pose, her dress, etc.? I think I'd rather be friends with Jessica.

  1. Love the colorblock shoes! They are a trend I might actually wear.
    BTW, I think the third woman is Allie Wentworth-Stephanopoulis.
    Not a fan of GP.
