Reality-television-star-turned-actress Kristin Cavallari has taken up yet another occupation: shoe designer. The 26-year-old celebrity has been keeping herself busy wearing so many hats, doting mother and loving wife included, that she couldn’t help but point out her jetsetting lifestyle by tweeting, “Feel like I live on planes. Happy to be home in Chicago with my peanut”. There is definitely nothing damsel-in-distress about this woman.

The mom-of-one launched her 12-style shoe collection, in collaboration with Chinese Laundry, at the Magic Convention in Las Vegas just a few days ago. Kristin wore an Alice + Olivia lace skirt styled with an Elizabeth and James crop top, and a pair of blue ‘Copertina’ pumps from her own collection. The actress kept her makeup simple and fresh to compliment her all-white ensemble and healthy golden tresses.

The Alice + Olivia ‘Rei’ lace mini skirt is box pleated, with a silk placket and back zip closure. It is made up of a combination of cotton and nylon, lined with a fabric mix of silk and spandex. We love the way the skirt sits on Kristin’s waist at a perfect height relative to the crop top, making the outfit look sexy yet classy.

The beautiful lace pattern perfectly compliments the sheer paneling of the crop top. This flouncy lace skirt is versatile enough to wear to a casual day at the park or to a semi-formal event, paired with a buttondown top and a structured blazer.
