Summer Loooove

Gladiators. The shoe of course, although if you can find a sexy bronzed Spartan to escort you about Walnut Street as you wear these, please do.

A favorite fashion warrior look? The knee high gladiator of course. The style graced the worst dressed pages in 2007 on the likes of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, but 2008 will prove to be the year of the Gladiator!!

Furthermore, NEVER doubt the Olsens. MK single-handedly brought back cowboy boots, tights (abet, ripped) AND oversized dresses YEARS before so-called fashion merchandisers saw the light. Ashley’s new line The Row is simply ingenious.

What to pair it with: This look is not for everyone. You must have the long slender legs to pull off short dresses (or short shorts) with flats. Remember not to go overboard with skin. If you are showing off your legs, keep the chest under wraps, also, do not over accessorize. Knee high gladiators are a statement all on their own. Throw on some sunglasses and stroll the shops diva!!

Other gladiator considerations:

If you are shorter and curvier consider a heel with a T-strap to balance you as well as keep you trendy!

These ‘halfies’ as I like to call them are perfect for longer outfits and just $20!! Phreaking unbelievable!
