Grecian / Roman Inspired Items

[haute femme]

There is a thread like this in Trendspotting, but I'm looking to find dresses, tops, shoes, jewelry, etc.. with Grecian/Roman influence.

Examples of these styles at the other thread: http://www.thefashionspot.com/forums/f49/grecian-roman-s-s-06-a-38461.html

I've found that BCBG has a good selection of dresses, and lots of grecian sandals can be found on ebay. Also, Easy Spirit by Tara Subkoff had sandals, but they're restocking at the moment.

Any ideas/websites/brands welcome!

I like this thread - Grecian is the best.

Posted this in trendspotting, but might as well here...

If anyone is wanting some cheap gladiator sandals, Urban Outfitters (urbn.com) are back in stock!

Also, I'm REALLY enjoying the Mia - Athena sandals I received (zappos.com). Very nice quality and comfortable. We'll see about the Urban ones..

haute femme did you buy a pair of the urban ones? if so which? I was in urban today and really liked the look of their sandals, the ones that look like the second pair from shopbop that is posted above, but i'm wondering if they come up a little too high around the ankle and if that looks strange.

also, could you post a pic of the ones you bought from zappos?
i really like the whole grecian influence on flat sandals

I ordered the tan and black sandals from Urban Outfitters and unfortunately I didn't like them at all.. They were very cheaply made, and seemed like they wouldn't last 2 wears! There wasn't any structure to them, and they looked really bad on my feet.. Also, they were completely open-toe (opposed to the Mia ones that had a thong sandal-ish strap)...but needless to say, I'm sending them back and ordering a pair of the Mia ones in black

There are the shorter ones (Athina) that I have in Tan:

I think they upped the price by $10 since I bought my first pair..but I find them really comfortable and structured. The only thing is that the footbed lightens with wear. One review on zappos.com calls them clunky, but I've been wearing them for a long time and I love them!

The taller (Achilla

And Hera sandals which I find cute:

nice... i can definitely see how the MIA sandals are better than those from urban outfitters..

both the athena and hera's are nice..
i might have to trot on over to zappos and take a look for myself!

Aren't gladiator sandals the 'in' thing for now?
And the grecian dress in pleats by Hermes?

i think i would definitely say that gladiator sandals are gonna be a big thing this summer--or flat strappy sandals in general...
they were big last year in Europe as well I believe...
