Kristin Cavallari’s passion for her shoe line truly shines through and she has often been spotted wearing pieces from her Chinese Laundry by Kristin Cavallari collection.
Her collaboration, which spanned from 2011 to 2018, leveraged her personal brand, design instincts, and adaptability to carve out a significant niche in the mid-range footwear market.
In December 2012, she stepped out in the elegant Liberta pumps; by April 2013, she embraced spring style in the chic Lotteria sandals; and in May 2013, she completed a stylish look with the trendy Sogno wedges.

Spotlight on the Lotteria Sandals
While promoting her line at Dillards inside the Fashion Show Mall in Las Vegas, the ‘Laguna Beach’ star was again spotted wearing the ‘Lotteria’ sandals in a different color.

Kristin’s Style: Effortlessly Breezy, Polished, and On-Trend
The then-26-year-old actress wore a ‘melon’ version of the Lotteria sandals — actually crafted in pastel green and purple suede.
The ‘Lotteria’ is simple in design, with straps around the ankles and across the toes (the latter in contrasting colors). You can wear it with almost anything, from dresses to jeans. The added height from 4 inches of heels should be enough, too.
I love her choice of heels, which match her easy, breezy pastel top and white jeans. She’s so in style!

A Closer Look: Alice + Olivia Lace Skirt Styling
The Alice + Olivia ‘Rei’ lace mini skirt is box pleated, with a silk placket and back zip closure. It is made of cotton and nylon and lined with a silk and spandex fabric mix. We love how 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 for a casual day at the park or a semi-formal event, paired with a button-down top and a structured blazer.
