b&j take coachella

Tons of celebs were spotted at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California yesterday. Beyonce and Jay-Z, my favorite power couple, finished their performances from the first day and came out for the second day to see performances by Gossip, MGMT and the White Stripes, just to name a few.

Now, I usually think Beyonce has amazing style, and I know crop tops are in right now - but this outfit seems a little strange to me. Yeah, she looks better in it than I ever could, but there's just so much going on that it's confusing. The lace with the patent leather, with the cowboy boots, and boho headband...too much!

J - on the other hand - was looking dapper in a military/camo ensemble and Tims.

Other celebs were also seen at Coachella this weekend, including Katy Perry, Paris and Nicky Hilton, and Dita von Teese in some weird burlesque sailor outift.

cut these out

Orange Python cutout platform boots, $1,995

A few weeks ago on my daily romp around Net-a-Porter I came across these boots in the What's New section. Since then, I've seen them in a couple of editorials and Lindsay Lohan even tweeted her excitement that they were out.

With all due respect to Donatella and the  glorious House of Versace, does anyone else think that these are just plain tacky? Italian fashion is known to encourage the enthusiastic use of color and mix-matched pattens and fabrics, but these platforms are just excessive legwarmers. Cut off from the ankle up and maybe we'll be on to something!

don't hog my clogs

There is something going on that's been bothering me for some time. Actually, I'm more confused than anything else. I'm sorry, but someone needs to just come out and say it...CLOGS?!? Clogs are everywhere, and I just don't get it. Alexa Chung, the Olsens, and Kiera Knightley have all jumped on the clog bandwagon. No offense ladies, but clogs are literally the least sexy thing you could possibly wear. Even the name clog sounds gross. I know I'm not alone when I say that I literally go crazy for Chanel, but c'mon Karl, clogs on the runway..in the summer?! The year is not 1895, I don't live in Amsterdam, I think I'll leave clogs alone for now.

If you realllyyyy need to satisfy your clog cravings, but don't want to look like Heidi (not Klum, Shirley Temple version), I did find two cute clog-esque heels that aren't bad at all:
