If Shoes Could Kill

Lady GaGa is spot on when she sings, "a girl's just as hot as the shoes she chooses." We are all about shoes this season and with killer styles and colors the options are endless. This season revamp your wardrobe with a selection of stilettos in various colors and embellishments. Here are our two picks from our favorite online shoe boutique, What A Pair.

We saw many shades of purple and violet down the Fall 09' runways. You will be surprised how well purple goes with other colors especially beige, olive and of course black. I love to pair these sophisticated yet still fun, high heels with skinny jeans as much as I do a flirty cocktail dress. Shoe, Martinez Valero, $100.00 via What a Pair.

Studs are a major trend right now and what better way to incorporate the trend than with a great pair of stud embellished shoes. These shoes are sure to get you noticed and perfect for nights on the town. For a more understated look wear with a great black cashmere sweater, black skinny pants and a great chain strapped black quilted bag. Shoe, Jeffrey Campbell, $156.90 via What A Pair.

Au Courant: What To Wear Right Now

FASHION

RED, The It Color of Fall 2008

"RED IS THE BASIS FOR MAKE-UP, IT IS THE LIPS, THE NAILS. RED IS A NOBEL COLOR, A COLOR OF PRECIOUS STONES- THE RUBY- AND IT IS A DANGEROUS COLOR; SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO PLAY WITH DANGER. RED IS RELIGIOUS, AND IT IS BLOOD, AND IT IS ROYAL, IT IS PHEDRA, AND A MULTITUDE OF HEROINES. RED LIGHT AND RED COMBAT, RED IS COMBAT BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH." -YSL

This little bootie, the Serena by Jeffery Campbell, is a perfect accent to the rich dark colors of the season. Pair them with a little black dress and opaque black tights.

Red nails are classic and forever chic. I fell in love with Essie's Fall 2008 collection which features shades of deep merlot, rich reds and luxe berries. If you're only going to get one, make sure it's "Forever Young" a bright rich red which you'll wear on your nails this season and your toes during Spring 09.

A red lip can be a very dangerous thing. It's seductive, sexy and sophisticated all at the same time. I create my red lip using Vincent Longo lip vinyl in Fellini Red. It's shiny so the red lip looks modern and hip.

Get the look: Gladiator Sandals

The gladiator is definitely the 'it' shoe for Spring fashion. I love this style by Jeffrey Campbell for it's sexy yet Avant-garde and a bold take on this trend. Pair with a mod mini dress or go the Balenciaga way and pair it with floral. The Bal shoe can be found at the fabulous online shoe boutique What A Pair. Get your pair while it's haute.
