So many celebrities, so little time! This week, we’re looking at celebs who should’ve thought twice about their shoes on the red carpet.
Natalie Portman’s Gold Pumps
Natalie Portman is known for her vegan selections, and it’s great for a celeb to stick to something she believes in. That said, Natalie recently wore a ruffled pair of gold heels with a floral dress, and we weren’t particularly impressed with the combination. Extreme pointiness didn’t help, either…

The pointed toe pump has taken the fashion world by storm. They made their way into mainstream fashion this season and the runways are predicting that the silhouette will stick around for next spring and summer. That means buying a pair of pointed to pumps that will get you through the next year or two and update your work duds with just a change of shoes.
Do’s
- Do go for embossed neutrals to keep things from getting boring. Think nude, grey, black and cognac when choosing a neutral with a faux lizard or croc print embossed.
- Do go for dainty embellishments. A bow adds a whimsical look that will still look chic as long as you’re wearing a suit or other smart work gear.
- Do opt for an architectural heel. The pointed toe looks fabulously updated when paired with an architectural heel that has a slight curve.
- Do go for mary jane-style pointed toe pumps. These are chic for the work place and also work with wide leg pants or skinny trousers when going casual. Read more »

Thigh high boots are back on the radar for fall and winter 2010. The sultry shoes made their debut into mainstream fashion a few seasons ago, but it was just last fall and winter that they were embraced by the public. Quickly we’ve realized that it’s not only a fashion editor or dominatrix that can get away with the sassy boots. Thigh high boots are wearable for real life; it’s all in how you wear them.
Do’s
-Do choose black. Let’s face it. Black thigh high boots are the easiest to wear and will fit in to your fall and winter wardrobe seamlessly. They are dramatic without being over-the-top when you choose a flat black leather with an almond toe and stacked heel.
- Do choose a platform. We aren’t talking a ridiculously high platform that will make your boots look as if they’re fit for the stage. A 1-2 inch platform will make the boots easy to maneuver, especially if the heel is at 4 inches.
- Do go monochrome when wearing something short. You can wear a short skirt or dress, but you don’t want to cross the line when it comes to looking sexy (and end up looking just plain trashy). Wearing a mid-thigh black skirt, opaque ribbed black tights and black thigh high boots looks hip and pulled-together, yet still pushes the style envelope. Read more »

Fall can be really tough on shoes. If you aren’t the type who goes through shoes seasonally, and you want to hang onto pairs that you love, why not try these tips to get ready for fall? It won’t take long.
Reseal Any Rubber or Leaks
Shoes that have leaking rubber seals or cracked soles are terrible in the wet fall and even wetter winter. If you don’t want to soak your socks and flood your shoes every time you go outside, then you should reseal rubber detail on your shoes to protect your feet. Don’t let that old rubber prevent you from rocking your shoes from another season. Read more »
