The last Trend on my hot-list for this Fall is Zippers.  Not only are these embellishments functional, but they are fun and flashy too!  Zippers can spice up any dull ensemble with the greatest of ease.

I love this Thrill Seeker Jacket from ModCloth.com for only $59.99.  Not only is it cute and funky but the cut has a professional edge that you could totally sport at the office.

The annual Teen Choice Awards were taped this past Sunday night and broadcast on Monday via FOX.  To be very honest, I get a little blase about any thing with the word “teen” in the title so I might not ever admit that I would watch this type of thing, but I still comb over all of the Red Carpet coverage to see what the Celebs are wearing.  As much as I hate to admit it, I was very impressed.

Of course there was a heavy presence of talent from our favorite Twilight saga films becuase New Moon and Eclipse were nominated for almost every category except for Choice TV Reality Villain and Choice Music Country Group.  Our favorite Physic Vegetarian Vampire, Ashley Greene never fails to look absolutely breathtaking and this occasion was no exception.

To pull off Ashley’s flawless look, you will def need a pair of these

Black Platform Peep Toe Roxy Pumps from Paris Hilton

The cute-as-a-button “Wizards of Waverly Place” star, Selena Gomez scooped up 4 TCA’s including Choice Red-Carpet Fashion Icon: Female (I can totally see why). She was looking angelic in all white paired with sexy Nude Sandals.

If you wanna look as fierce as Selena, I suggest

Natural Open Toe Stewart Stiletto Booties from Bebe

One of the hottest summer shows this year is ABC Family’s “Pretty Little Liars.”  I must admit, I am addicted to this tennage cheese-fest and it is def one of my guilty pleasures.  Lucy Hale plays the doe-eyed Aria brilliantly as the show won 3 awards including Choice Summer TV Show.

If you wanna score some edgey footwear like Lucy, you have to grab these

Gossip Girl” has been a fan favorite since it started back in 2007 and it isn’t loosing any steam with Leighton Meester as Blair Waldorf.  They are currently filming its 4th season that will premiere Monday, September, 13th on the CW.

To achieve Leighton’s botanical feet style, you will need

To be honest, I had no clue who Victoria Justice was when I saw her on the Red Carpet at the Teen Choice Awards, but I immediately feel in love with her shoes.  After a little research, I’ve learned that this cutie is a Nickelodeon starlet and aspiring singer with her own show called “Victorious.”

Let your Wild Side loose like Victoria in these

With the boys of “Glee” as co-hosts for this years TCA’s, the female cast was on hand to show their support and accept some awards for themselves such as Choice TV Show: Comedy.  Lea Michele was drop-dead stunning in a sequin mini dress and funky wedges.

As a presenter, Cat Deeley was right at home on stage Sunday evening.  She hosts another favorite show of mine, So You Think You Can Dance, which ends it’s season on Thursday, August 12th.  While sometimes she can sport some crazy stuff, I was plesantly suprised at this sexy white ensemble.

Shoe Tips & Tricks: Feng Shui for your Shoes!

I know what you must be thinking, but take a minute to process the idea. Think about it, your cluttered closet could have a direct impact on your everyday life.

The color and style of the shoe can put you in a different mood.

Incorporating fashion into feng shui does not depend on the type of person you are, but the person you would like to be. For instance, if you are looking for attention, choose a RED pair of shoes.

Feng Shoe Basics…

Wood Energy: Tends to come from comfortable, yet ugly shoes. The energy comes from a wooden or cork sole. DON”T wear these shoes on a cobblestone street. DO wear them on muddy, rural paths.

 

Charles David Tiki Wedge 

Fire Energy: These shoes are dressy or the latest in fashion. Fire energy enhances sexiness and creativity and are made of satin. Wear these shoes if you have an important business meeting. Don’t wear them on a first date!

Earth Energy: Represented by shoes we wear on daily basis, earth energy calms and renews the spirit. This energy is found in shoes made of cotton, leather or other natural fabrics. Use these shoes as your go-to pair.

Metal Energy: Gives the wearer strength and is powerful. Best used at embellishments like buckles or studs. Be sparing with metal. The energy will sound like a heavy metal concert.

Shoe Styles…

DRESS SHOES are important because they are the epitomy of female energy which is desinged to attract male energy. If made with the right materials and colors, these shoes can be very powerful.

WHITE is the blending of all colors int he spectrum and should only be used when the plantes are all aligned, like a June wedding.

BLACK is the absence of all colors and is said to attract all types of energy. Without color to distract the flow of energy, the flow is unfiltered. You should own multiple pairs of black shoes.

Use RED to attract men and their fiery energy. Males are drawn to bright, shiny things. Like moths to a light. Red shoes can have the same effect even when tucked under a bar! When wearing red shoes, you are almost certain to have a good day or night.

Shoes We Love: Boots for Fall! Yay!

Happy Friday!

It feels like I’m finally catching my breath from Vegas! Took me long enough, huh?

Like Suleika, I am so excited for Fall stuff I can’t stand it! I am loving all the boots we’ve had coming in – we’ve got a lot of thigh-high styles and I know that’s what a lot of y’all are looking for – just got an email from Rachel Zoe this morning about how every girl needs a pair.

Personally though, I am just looking for a nice pair of black boots that can be semi-formal or casual. Some of my top picks:

Jessica Simpson Angie Boot

Guess Teddie Boot

DV by Dolce Vita Wendall Boot

And tons more on their way!

I thought it was interesting listening to industry insiders talk about thigh boots – they would say, “She has a normal boot but this style gives her a reason to get something new!”

While I do believe that the statement is true, I honestly don’t really like it. Maybe I’m just bitter because the thigh-high trend won’t work for me, but I feel like making a great classic version of a shoe every one needs is always a win-win. It’s fun to do something new and fresh, but sometimes the staple is where it’s at. I guess I’m just in a boring mood today ;)

A sign that cool weather is on the horizon – endless shipments of boots here at Heels.com. Boots are a staple for the winter wardrobe but since I’m not a cold weather gal, I don’t quite appreciate them as much as others. Below are my top picks for this Fall/Winter.

Guess Bowler Boot in Medium Brown
