Would You Wear: Faux Denim Leggings?

Paris Hilton was recently spotted outside of Newark Airport wearing Niki Biki's seamless denim leggings in blue.

Are they pants or are they tights? Niki Biki's seamless faux denim leggings give you the best of both worlds! Or do they? I'm a fan of leggings made from super-stretchy denim (love my pair from ASOS) but I'll pass on the leggings with a faux-denim finish.

Whether you prefer your denim leggings "real" or "faux," here are some cheap ones to choose from...

Niki Biki Seamless Denim Legging in Blue, Black and Charcoal are available at www.RepeatPossessions.com for $33.

Ask BB: Cute Cheap Shoes for Bridesmaids

HELP! We are trying to throw together a wedding for August 1 and we have the dresses picked out, but cannot find inexpensive shoes anywhere! The dresses are from J.Crew in three different colors (cantaloupe, light pink and tea pink) so we are thinking a nude heel of some sort. I've attached a picture of the dress that we are wearing (at right). Any suggestions? —Olivia

Believe it or not, I've been rather impressed by Payless' Unforgettable Moments by Lela Rose capsule collection. This line of affordable special-occasion shoes includes D'Orsay pumps, slingbacks, slides and strappy heels for just $45 to $50, in regular and wide widths. The collection also offers girl's shoes for $35 and accessories like satin clutches ($23 to $27). You can choose from 64 custom colors, and dying and shipping is free (according to the website). Visit a store to see the colors in person before you order. Even if you don't want to be too matchy matchy, you've got 64 fab options so there's sure to be a beautiful shade to go with your gorgeous dresses. Good luck! —BB

Anyone else know of a great place for bridesmaids to find affordable shoes? Let us know in the comments!
