Low Profile: 15 Reasons to Ditch Your Sky-High Heels

Hannah Weil — Tue, 15 May 2012 04:00:29 PDT

Come summertime, there's nothing worse than forcing your hot, aching feet into a pair of sky-high stilettos. Whether you're bound for work or play we're all about giving our feet a break with the kind of slick, styled footwear that doesn't come with a four-inch heel. We couldn't be happier that runways from the likes of Valentino and Chloé showcased decidedly comfier styles with kitten heels and chunkier wood-heeled soles that don't short on the style factor. They may have lower heels, but they're all high-impact - click on for 15 pairs that'll make you and your feet happy.

American Idol: Who Deserves to Get Cut This Week?

Maggie Pehanick — Thu, 10 May 2012 06:24:30 PDT

We had a dual theme this week on American Idol. "California Dreaming" - which essentially meant songs about California, written by artists from California, or songs that were written in or around the state of California - was the first, followed by a round of songs that the contestants "wished they had written." Phillip Phillips started off the show with CCR's classic "Have You Ever Seen the Rain." Normally, Phillip is totally my bag, but this rendition was a little Los Lonely Boys-y for my taste. Hollie whipped out Journey's "Faithfully," which paired nicely with the Farrah Fawcett 'do the stylists gave her. Joshua Ledet went with "You Raise Me Up," which was right in his wheelhouse, and impressive as usual. It was slightly disconcerting to see 16-year-old Jessica Sanchez wobble around on those sky-high heels during her performance of "Steal Away," but the vocals were ridiculous.

Sitting on large swings and walking on pianos ensued during the duets round before the contestants went on to perform songs they've been most inspired by. Unfortunately, as we were so brutally reminded in the intro this week, every cut gets deeper as the competition goes on. So who deserves to be next on the chopping block?

Kate Middleton Pairs a High-Slitted Gown With Jimmy Choos For a Night With William

Allie Merriam — Wed, 09 May 2012 11:02:51 PDT

Kate Middleton and her husband Prince William arrived at Claridge's hotel in London last night. She was decked out in a long white gown from Roland Mouret, surely rivaling any of the high fashions seen in NYC at Monday's Met Gala. Kate paired the white dress with a chic pair of sky-high Jimmy Choos. The sandals revealed that Kate has her toes painted a dark berry color! Kate also wore the sandals for an event last November.

Their evening out was to meet up with the Thirty Club, a group of executives from advertising and the media. Prince William was the guest of honor and planned to give a speech. Many of his family members have had the same honor, including his mom, Princess Diana, aunt Princess Anne, and grandfather Prince Philip.

William and Kate have another big event coming up this week. The Our Greatest Team Rises gala will host Will and Kate in just a few days at an event honoring the Olympics' Team Great Britain and Paralympics Great Britain. Their social schedule in the UK is full, but the same might not be said for her sister Pippa. There are reports in the English press today that Pippa Middleton may be considering a move to NYC.

Queen Elizabeth Looks Like a Fairy-Tale Monarch at Parliament's Opening

Annie Scudder — Wed, 09 May 2012 10:45:14 PDT

Kate Middleton is a modern royal, most recently making an appearance last night at a black tie gala with a sky-high and surprisingly sexy slit in her dress. But today in full regalia, Queen Elizabeth II took royal watchers back in time during the state opening of parliament. Each year the queen marks the start of a new parliamentary session in the UK dressed in a regal fur coat and an imposing crown, technically called the State Diadem. In fact the crown, which has 1333 diamonds, rides to parliament in its own carriage, with the Cap of Maintenance and Sword of State. With all the trappings, Queen Elizabeth laid out the reforms coming up this year. After listing economic and other legislative priorities, the queen referenced plans that would allow the potential first-born daughter of Prince William and Kate Middleton to rule as queen one day. She said, "My government will continue to work with the 15 other Commonwealth realms to take forward reform of the rules governing succession to the crown." See photos of the event.
