Charlize Theron stayed warm and stylish in a comfy-cool ensemble while shopping in NYC. I love how chic she looks, even while sporting a pair of Chuck Taylors. Get her hip downtown look by starting with your favorite skinnies. Then layer a loose striped tee with a leather jacket, and top it off with a cozy wool scarf and gray fedora. You're all set to stroll the city Charlize-style.

ZIPZ Give Kids Endless and Interchangeable Sneaker Options

Just give it a zip!

Just give it a zip! We've seen two classic sneaker companies get more kid-friendly this season with the introduction of a Dr. Seuss line of Chuck Taylors and Yo Gabba Gabba Vans. Now, youngsters can design their own shoes with a new line of kicks called ZIPZ.

Using a mix and match philosophy, kids buy a ZIPZ shoe sole ($18) and then zip on the top of their choice (starting at $24). Tykes can choose from colorful low-tops or Converse-inspired canvas high-tops in a variety of bright and bold patterns. When the children tire of their shoes, additional tops can be zipped on for completely new looks.

What do you get when you combine the playtime practicality of sneakers and the all-time favorite look of glittery girly shoes? Why, Glitter Chuck Taylors, of course!

They may not be as party-worthy as Suri Cruise's glittery gold flats, but sneakers are always the right choice for long walks. The comfy style is available for baby through lil kid sizes for $35 to $40.

Although I rarely wear sneakers, Converse are my kicks of choice. These Converse All-Star Silver Sequin Chuck Taylors ($82) are way fun, but I'd have to see them on to know if I'd be able to pull them off. Are you feeling these?

This cute little case has sewn-in screen protection, a slim belt clip on the back, as well as a sturdy canvas and rubber design. I have two favorite things about this case -- The first is that it looks like my all-time favorite Chuck Taylor Converse sneakers. The second thing I love is that it is only $7.00 right now! Buy it from SpeckPRoducts.com. FYI: It fits 1st generation iPod nano only.

You Don't Know Chuck

I thought I'd seen it all when it comes to going green, but Converse has since proven me wrong.

Your good ole' Chuck Taylors are going green, literally. The hemp slip on Chuck Taylor ($62) by Converse is quite possibly the maker's only eco-friendly shoe. The normally canvas upper part of the shoe is made from hemp. Yup, hemp.

Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase, "Smoke 'em if you got 'em." Buy them here.
