3 Amazing Shoe Collabs We Can't Wait to Wear This Season

Along with the sun finally making an appearance and the temperature finally breaking 60, a trifecta of delightfully chic collaborations is rocking our world this spring season. We just love it when cool, contemporary high-end designers partner with some of our favorite high-street brands to create fun, inspired, and more accessible pieces for us to shop--especially when the collabs involve shoes. Let's take a look.

Sophia Webster for J.Crew: You might remember adorable British shoe designer Sophia Webster, who graciously gave us tips on how to wear colorful and possibly cheekily printed statement hells at the office.
We die for her modernly feminine designs and so does J.Crew creative director (and fashion idol) Jenna Lyons. So it was a no-brainer for the American retailer and Sophia to bring their signature skill sets together for whimsical spring-ready capsule collection of 13 shoes priced between $320 and $695 a pair. The collab is available in store and online at jcrew.com.

Ostwald Helgason x Aldo Rise: During spring 2014 New York Fashion Week (that would be last September), Christina gave us the insider lowdown on the hottest designer labels to keep on your radar, and London-based Ostwald Helgason was a shoo-in on that list. (I'm still dying over that sweatshirt inspired by artist Jeff Koons--you know, the one with the possibly copulating ballon doggies.) So it was SUPER exciting to see that the label collaborated with the edgy Aldo Rise concept on not just chunky platforms and round-toe pumps but also a line of bags--including totes, cross-bodies, and this backpack that just might just convince all you rucksack-naysayers to reconsider the issue.

Shoes range from $110 to $130, and handbag styles run from $65 to $85. The collaboration is available at select Aldo stores and online at aldorise.com.

Stevan Alan x Dr.Scholl's: Hey, Birks are cool again, so why not our childhood favorite: Dr.Scholl's clogs? Especially when downtown Americana-cool desgner (and boutique proprietor) Steven Alan is involved. Plus, there's a cute blackstory. Over a chill dinner together, Steven and Dr. Scholl's creative director James Sowins dreamed up the fabulous idea to create a very edited limited-edition update on the iconic summer shoe. The women's capsule collection features two styles: a single-strap lacquer slide in black or white ($100) and a sandal in a fresh blue chambreay ($110). Simple, classic, and totally adorable. The collaboration is available in-store at Steven Alan or online at stevenalan.com.

Beyonce's Jorts Really Shrunk in a Span of a Week, Huh? How Short Would You Wear Your Denim?

Another benefit of not one but two weekends of Coachella: a double sighting of Beyonce, who was on hand in all her music-festival fabulousness to support both hubby Jay Z and sister Solange on the stages. But obviously Queen Bey is not going to repeat looks like some people. Her hairstyle drastically changed in between the weekends, and her shorts also looked to be dramatically smaller!
Exhibit A: During weekend one, we see a tumble of gorgeous curls and shorts so short the pockets were hanging out. (Still, no visible undergarments.)

Exhibit B: One week later, Beyonce's rockin' some fringe and cutoffs so brief that her silky granny panties actually cover more surface area.

I mean, we're talking about Beyonce and coachella. So the superstar (who we've definitely seen in shorty-shorts before) wants to totally dress in the spirit of the festival, right? And when does she ever not look good? (Answer: never.)

Kate Middleton Does a Ponytail

Kate Middleton put her perfect hair in a perfect ponytail yesterday at a wreath-laying service at a war memorial in New Zealand, and, of course, the whole thing was perfect.

The ponytail itself was smooth and tight, but there are two noteworthy things to discuss:
1)Her ends are slightly flippy so the "tail" looks extra full.
2)A rather substantial lock of hair was wrapped around the holder, holding it our from her head quite a bit. It was simple, but all very Duchess Catherine. A royal ponytail indeed.

Naya Rivera and Big Sean Have Called It Quits

Naya Rivera and her fiance, rapper Big Sean, have broken up, Big Sean's rep confirmed in a statement to People. The couple had been together--at least publicly--for about a year, and confirmed their engagement back in October.

Referring to recent reports from Star that Big Sean cheated on the Glee actress, the rapper's rep states that "The recent rumors and accusations reported by so-called or fake sources are simply untrue. Sean wishes Naya nothing but the best and it is still his hope that they can continue to work through their issues privatel." We're sad to see this couple end, but can't deny that their song together, "sorry", now has a totally new meaning.

Happy Birthday - Marc Jacobs !

Fashion designer, groundbreaker, icon Marc Jacobs turns 51 today! But what do you get a guy who has pretty much everything? Our heartfelt love and gratitude, that's what. So to celebrate the man, the myth, the legend here are six reasons we adore Marc Jacobs.

"Who me?"  Marc Jacobs in a Commes Des Garcons dress and his boxers at the 2012 Met Gala


Because before all you ladies rocked that undies-showing-through-your-dress thing, Marc did it first.

Victoria Beckham, Marc Jacobs, and Kate Moss at the 2011 British Fashion Awards Because he has the coolest friends and gets to hang out with these ladies.

Marc Jacobs plays the buffer between Lady Gaga and Madonna backstage at his spring 2010 show. KIDDING. And THESE.

 Marc Jacobs and Robert Duffy Because he dressed up like a bird for his 2011 holiday party and totally owned it.

Marc Jacobs before the Louis Vuitton spring 2014 runway show at Paris Fashion Week  Because Marc sometimes goes to work in his pajamas and carries his stuff in a dopp kit. Marc. Because he can.

Louis Vuitton spring 2013 runway show  Because there ain't runway show, like a Marc Jacobs runway show. Remember the glorious sets he created for Louis Vuitton? The mod escalators, the train pulling into the station, er, venue the tent outside the Louvre, and the freakin' carousel?! Thank goodness he has his own line--still dying over postapocalytic beach scene from spring 2014--to continue the mind-blowing fun.

Because even though his designs may be on the aspirational end of the spectrum, Marc still makes high fashion accessible to all through innovative social media, live-streaming his runway shows (everyone's FRONT ROW, yo) and casting his fall campaign via Instagram .
