They have always done the best skin-tight, black denim jean from the Lower East Side that real NYC rockers love. And if you’re a person who always likes this look no matter if Rihanna is wearing them or not — you would always know that Hot Topic is the place to go year after year.

Between the incredible Rock ‘n Roll T-shirt collection for kids and the goth gowns which could be mistaken as Dolce & Gabbana (with the proper lighting and great shoes), this is the emporium for well-priced, cool duds that doesn’t have you crying poor –they’re only $29! — when all you want to do is rock.

Buy it here.

Feeling a bit edgy? Then rock a studded vest with any outfit.

Roberts is also wearing those limited edition open-toed Pierre Hardy for Gap booties ($195, gap.com). A few sizes are still available online so order while you can!

The vest is knit, so it gives a lot more than pleather or PVC. While you may want to pair black eyeliner and black tights with this look, you can also layer it with something feminine for balance.

This trend is just cool. It makes you feel naughty without really having to do anything!

I love this Rocker Asymmetrical Vest from Forever21.com. It’s perfectly priced (just $30!) and looks identical to the one that Emma Roberts is wearing. It makes me want to buy it and add some more studs.

And although this look hasn’t completely gone away (Crocs, anyone?), you will be surprised to see how crazy this made designers for spring. I love these Silver Wooden Swedish Clogs because they’re cute and well-priced at $95. One thing’s for sure: These shoes — sized 5 to 11 — are obviously attention getters.

Clogs were a major statement on the runways for Spring 2010. So, it’s time to re-examine the once-dated footwear trend. There will be high-heeled clogs at Chanel, Gucci always keeps a suede stacked heel style around — a la Janis Joplin — and heavily ornamented styles often come from Louis Vuitton.

Buy it here.

They’re baaaaack!

I love, love, love this shiny open-toe platformed pump from Piperlime and Chinese Laundry.

Buy it here.

Sometimes it’s just great to have the sparkle on my feet and leave the rest solid and simple. I love this with jeans, with a pencil skirt or with a nice slimming dress.

This $80 LadyBug shoe has black and silver — mixed! — sequins. The heel height is not unwalkable, so no fear that you’re going to have to slip into another pair of shoes after a few steps in these! Plus, I also like the fact that a sparkled, sequined pump can live on forever. After all, when have you heard of sequins going out of style?

Pick up a pair at Bloomingdales.com for $44. As a bonus, the Shadows metallic line is on sale for $32!

I love the way these look. And for those of you who are looking to buy one really good sandal, this is it. Whats super fun about these is that theyre designed as makeup for your feet. They come in groups like Liners (simple, rich colors), Foundations (neutrals to elongate) and Highlighters (sparkly!). I know a lot of people who just need something thats simple and pretty to wear for warm weather destination weddings when you need to forgo the heels, or if the weather is the same temperature all year round and you want something in a fall shade but in a season-less silhouette. Well, heres your sandal!

These TKEES flip-flops are $48, and we love them (so do Angelina Jolie, Lauren Conrad and Ashley Greene!) . Before you all jump all over me and say “This isnt cheap!” and “Target and Forever 21 have better!” or “You suck, and Im leaving!” …take a look at these. They are chic, celebrities love them and they are made to last.

These are comfortable on the feet, the range is extensive in colors and they look very lovely on the foot. A ton of these cheap sandals I own fall apart and actually hurt, the thong cuts into my toe and I end up spending more and more on the cheap crap. They are not made well. So, if you want what Angies got and want them to last more than one wearing, these are for you.
