I can’t really explain why, but these shoes just don’t appeal to me. In fact, I hate them. With so many other great shoe options out there, why would anyone choose to cover their feet with these?

But maybe it’s just me. What does everyone else think about this latest shoe craze? Are you rocking the clogs?

The studs are a huge trend right now, and the cutouts are edgy. Plus, you get comfort of wearing a wedge. I love the color contrast of nudes (like these taupe sandals) and black, so I would pair these with an all black outfit like a dress or Bermuda shorts. Something that allows the shoes to get every one’s full attention.

Here are my favorites from the night:

Sandra Bullock in Marchesa. The girl came dressed to win an Oscar. Simply stunning.

Maggie Gyllenhaal in Dries Van Noten. Fresh, fun, youthful, and most importantly: unique.

Rachel McAdams in Elie Saab. My absolute favorite of the night. So glamorous.

Zoe Saldana in Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci. A lot of people hated this dress, but I think it represents everything fashion: original, daring, jaw-dropping. There’s no doubt she took a risk, and I think it paid off.

Sarah Jessica Parker in Chanel. A lot of people hated this dress as well, but I think it’s a perfect SJP dress. Not many people can pull something like this off, but she does it. The color is amazing, and I loved her hair. (although it looked a little messy by the time she presented)

When I first came across these Valentino Sculpture Lace Pumps I was intrigued. But the closer I look at these I can’t help but think that they are just flat-out ugly. The floral applique looks like it was glued on by a first-grader. I really don’t understand why anyone would pay $4700 for these shoes. But, then again, I’m not filthy rich. I guess given the opportunity I could rock these, but I just don’t have any desire to…

Buy them here if you’re so inclined.

I was ecstatic when I came across these lovelies at Steve Madden:

I snagged these up today on an impromptu shopping trip. I can pair them with a casual dress and leggings, or rolled up jeans, a tank, and a boyfriend jacket. I may even go all out with the menswear trend and wear them to work with a suit.

I adore the over-sized, belted blouse and pencil skirt combo. I think it creates a lovely silhouette that almost every woman can pull off. And if the awards season has taught us nothing else, it’s that one-shoulder ensembles are huge this year.

Ruffles are also a major trend, and Siriano put them front and center on this fabulous cocktail dress.

Siriano is well-known for his show-stopping gowns, and this one certainly did not disappoint. I can totally picture Drew Barrymore in this at the Oscars.

Christian Siriano is definitely one of the designers I most look forward to at each Fashion Week, and his collection this year was no exception.

First thought: Wow. That’s a whole lot of white. But, it is Miami. And the people in Miami love to wear white. Plus, the girl has wedding on the brain, so I can forgive the all-white outfit.

Second thought: Ok, I can forgive the all-white outfit, but the hair…the hair is a mess. Carrie’s hair usually looks fantastic. She’s a total knock-out when she wears it down, so why go with this messy,  bumpy, wingy thing?

Final thought: Minus the hair, she totally rocked this outfit. Of course, she looks great in almost everything she wears. And she’s young and gorgeous, so she can pull this off.

I love the accessories, but the dress itself just isn’t doing it for me. I know it’s Dior, but there’s something very ordinary about it. Almost bridesmaid-y. SJP did put her own spin on the dress, but it just wasn’t enough to sway my opinion.

“American Idiot” will make its debut at the St. James Theater in New York on April 20. According to the Los Angeles Times, the musical, “follows the journey of the protagonist Johnny, a modern-day Christ figure who travels from a suburban nowhere to the big city, where he must choose between love, drugs and other existential dilemmas. The story also follows a character to the Middle East.” It was co-written by Billie Joe Armstrong, the lead singer of Green Day.

I was already planning a trip to NYC in late spring/early summer, and this just provides a little extra incentive.

So, what do you think: Is this our generation’s response to “Mamma Mia“, or do you think Green Day should stick to the airwaves and concert stages and leave Broadway alone?

Someone please tell me because I am at a loss for words.
