Uber-high heels - Is pain the price of fashion?

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes

Not all fashionistas wear heels, but we doubt any stylish woman's eyes don't light up a little when she sees a really beautiful stiletto. Really high heels are really a work of art -- as is walking in them. But, that's not stopping women around the world from reaching for heels that have half a foot or more of height.

Class, work, doctors appointments - none of these could ever get me out of bed early, but the Christian Louboutin sample sale did.

I want that! Missoni dress

Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing, Dresses, Celebrities with Style, Get the Look

Cameron Diaz wowed a crowd full of crazy kids at the Nickelodeon's 2008 Kid's Choice Awards. When she arrived, she paired her playful Missoni dress with a cute little short sleeved cardigan, red clutch, and patent wedges by shoe master Christian Louboutin. Simple gold earrings and a big turquoise cocktail ring, a Cameron signature, rounded out the accessories.

Upon winning, we could all see that the dress got a sexy makeover when Cameron shrugged off her cardigan and let her shoulders show. However, even while showing a little skin, the dress still kept with the smiley attitude Cameron is so known for.

Check out more of the details.

Oprah gives away Louboutins

Christian Louboutin - No Prive 942 Platform Slingbacks
It's days like these where I smack myself on the head and say " Why don't I go sit in the audience of The Oprah Show?"

The other day on Oprah's 'Making it Big' episode she was showcasing some of her favorite products that have "made it big." Some of those products were Coldstone Creamery ice cream, Carmex lip balm and Christian Louboutin shoes.


We all know how generous Oprah can be when it comes giving away her favorite products, so naturally she was giving stuff away to her audience members. Now I could care less about a $2 tub of Carmex but what I would have been excited to receive was the ice cream Christian Louboutin shoes.

Oprah and Christian Louboutin gave one lucky audience member a pair of open-toe tiger print patent leather shoes. These shoes are a great way to spice up a little black dress or to give a pair of jeans an extra bit on oomph.

If you weren't that lucky audience member you can purchase these shoes for around $600 at Saks. Just be warned: Since these Louboutins were showcased on 'Oprah,' they're probably sold out already and going for a million dollars on eBay.

Closet staple: The bootie

Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News, Shoes

Christian Louboutin Patent Leather Loafer BootieNo, not that bootie! I am talking about the shoe, the must-have shoe this coming Fall. If there is one pair of new shoes you buy for the upcoming season let these be the ones. Whether you go for a lace up oxford style bootie or a loafer style bootie; booties are where it's at for Fall.

The great thing about an ankle boot, like these, is that you can wear them with virtually anything in your Fall wardrobe. Hide them under a super wide pair of trousers for a nice business casual look or wear them ribbed tights and a skirt. However you choose to wear them they will instantly update your wardrobe for the season.

My personal favorite are the pair pictured by Christian Louboutin. At $770 they may be more than what most people want to spend on shoes, but they have all of the bases covered. The loafer cut makes them okay to wear to the office and the black patent leather allows these shoes to go out with you after hours as well. For a less expensive alternative check out Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B collection and Marc by Marc Jacobs has some great ones as well.
