    When I first came across this photo of Sarah Jessica Parker wearing socks with sandals -- I had to do a double take to make sure it was really her. Uhhhhhh, can someone please tell me what in the heck is going on here?

    I mean, this is Sarah Jessica Parker, aka Carrie Bradshaw, the reigning queen of fabulous footwear -- and she's wearing a pair of hideous socks with open-toed shoes.

    Excuse me -- I need an extra minute to process this one. (You're breaking my heart, Carrie. For real.)

    Brides have said it before, and they'll say it again: Regardless of how chill or relaxed or "whatever" you are going into it, it's shocking how the process of picking out a wedding dress is different from picking out any other outfit you've ever worn in your entire life. The dress is obviously the big ticket item, but it's quite normal to find yourself obsessing over all the other details, too -- from shoes to earrings, I sweat bullets over almost every accessory. Ironically, in the end, no matter how much time I spent debating the pros and cons of heels vs. flip flops or wearing a new bracelet I picked out with my bridesmaids vs. a friend's bracelet that would be my "something borrowed," I still suffered a handful of wedding style slip-ups on the Big Day. 

    But you don't have to have worn shoulder pads a la 1986 to come to regret a fashion move you made as a bride. Here, six wedding fashion mistakes real women have made and cringed at the thought of years later ...

    Look, I realize some people see Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham as an icon, but does any grown-ass woman truly, consciously imitate her? Geeze, I sure as heck hope not. Nonetheless, women are coming down with what medical professionals tell Vogue UK has been coined "Poshitis." No, it doesn't entail attempting to subsist on alkaline undressed salads or birthing heirs to a famous footballer's throne. Instead, Poshitis is marked by carrying large, full handbags in a similar style to Beckham, i.e., in the crook of your elbow, and can lead to torn muscles or inflamed shoulder tendons. Wuh-oh!

    Physiotherapist Sammy Margos told the Sunday Express of the matter, "Women may think that they are following a catwalk trend, but they are storing up trouble!" Dun dun DAAAAH.

    The Kardashians get a lot of flak for their crazy outfit choices. I've gotta hand it to 'em, though, considering how often this krew is photographed -- they have a pretty great track record. Heck, I'd kill to have some of the things in those massive walk-in closets! Khloe Kardashian recently stepped out looking fabulous at a Los Angeles event and shared her biggest style secret. The key to her killer sexiness? Fabulous heels.

    Mhmm, Khloe Kardashian swears by great heels. "[They] make me feel glam and blingy," she said.

    Heck sister, I'm right there with you. High heels create longer stems and longer stems make ya look smaller. I know, you're probably thinking, Yeah, but they hurt after a while, lady! Well yes, they can. But there are ways to snag Khloe's signature style secret without murdering your feet. Check 'em out, here:

    OMG. It certainly took long enough, but Kim Kardashian has ditched her heels in favor of a pair of simple black flip-flops, which is enough to make anyone who has seen the horrifying photos of her feet crammed into and spilling out of heels breathe a huge sigh of relief.

    And based on how swollen her poor tootsies still are even though she's wearing comfortable footwear, it's pretty obvious that poor Kim really had no choice but to make the switch to flats -- something we can only hope she continues for the remainder of her pregnancy.

    And aside from giving her feet a much-needed breather, it looks like Kim is also giving her skin a break from spray tans and heavy makeup.

    I couldn't be happier that spring has finally sprung here in New York City (well, for at least the time being). Now that the warmer temperatures are here, it feels like life has returned to these dull city streets. There are bright colors everywhere, sundresses galore, and of course: fantastic footwear.

    If there was ever a perfect time to upgrade your shoe wardrobe, it's now. Now that I'm no longer worrying about the winter chill hitting my tootsies, I'm ready for flats and lots of 'em. However, if you're anything like me -- last year's pairs are a tad overworked. You know what that means? It's time to go shopping.

    Check out these 10 bright, bold flats perfect for spring. Oh, and the best part? They're ALL under $50!

    How do I love thee, Melissa McCarthy? The funny lady rocked her Saturday Night Live hosting gig this weekend, but the best skit (in my opinion!) was McCarthy's opening monologue, where she literally fell FLAT on her face thanks to a ridiculously high pair of glittery red platform heels.

    Now admittedly, it was part of her act -- but still. How many of us have done the same thing when we DIDN'T mean to? Take a look:

    Even though it feels like it'll never get here, spring, m'friends, is technically but a day away. Are you ready? It's just about time to store those snow boots under your bed and break out the flip-flops (and the nail polish, too, because gurl, your feet could use some attention after this long winter).

    Here are 10 pairs of flip-flops, or thongs, if you will, to get you thinking about what you need for your footorial wardrobe this spring and summer. Just think, it's only a few weeks now until your little feetsies can be on parade! Yes.

    OMG. This is serious news, people. Kim Kardashian was spotted wearing flats instead of her signature super-high heels -- not once, but twice. Did you hear me? Kim Kardashian wore flats TWICE, which is deserving of some sort of celebration, don't you think?

    First she was seen showing off a fresh pedicure in a nude colored pair of sandals for a lunch date.

    And then she turned up in this pair of open-toed black shoes after arriving at LAX from Atlanta earlier today.

    (Yes, I'm fully aware that you can see her bra through her shirt. Let's just focus on her choice of footwear for now, ok?)

    Well this explains why street shots of Sarah Jessica Parker these days ALWAYS show her sporting comfy boots -- the fashionista / actress / mom of three says years of wearing high heels actually deformed her feet. Yechh! 

    "For 10 or so years, I literally ran in heels. I worked 18-hour days and never took them off. I wore beautiful shoes, some better made than others, and never complained," Parker told Net-a-Porter’s online magazine. Wow -- guess playing Carrie Bradshaw meant having as much of a fancy shoe habit as the character herself and wasn’t all fabulous dresses, smooching Chris Noth, and looking pensive over a laptop. Sounds like there was some marathon high-heel action going on! Parker has been, like, a NINJA of excruciating footwear.
