I completely missed this shoe before (darn those long dresses!) but here’s Taraji Henson in a rhinestone buckle, satin version of the Stuartz Weitzman Wicky (pewter version is $335 at Zappos) at the 2009 Golden Globes Awards. The same shoe but in a different color was worn by Jessica Stroupe for the People’s Choice Awards.
January is always a fun month for me. It represents a fresh slate, marks the end of show reruns, and kicks off the award show season, which translates into lots of red carpet shoe fashion. The 35th Annual People’s Choice Awards was held earlier this week and I certainly got a great taste of the footwear we’ll see as we gear up for the Golden Globes Awards this weekend.
On the People’s Choice red carpet, singer Jordan Sparks worn a surprisingly affordable blue Jessica McClintock dress ($180 at eDressMe) with Stuart Weitzman’s Eiffel shoes (on sale at Zappos for $288). While the dress is a bit too prom-like for me, I think she made an excellent choice on the gold jeweled shoes.
Another star who opted for blue was actress Dakota Fanning in a cute BCBGGirls dress. Unlike other starlets who shall remain nameless, her dress is very appropriate for her age. While I wish Dakota had opted for another color for her shoes, I wholeheartedly approve of the shoe style. What better way to initiate yourself into high heels than to wear a high wedge with mary-jane straps for extra support.
Always the fashion risk taker, Kude Hudson wore a Spring 2009 Gucci dress and Guisepp Zanotti two-toned pumps.
Reese Witherspoon played it safe in a black dress with Christian Louboutin Very Prive peep-toe pumps
Carrie Underwood wore a few outfits to the awards, but my favorite is this Spring 2009 Jenny Packman tangerine dress paired with Stuart Weitzman Exert platforms. The gold Stuart Weitzman’s complimented the dress much better than the shoes worn by the model, where there was just too much orange.
Another Stuart Weitzman wearer was 90210’s Jessica Stroup. She wore the anthracite Wicky platforms with her Herve Leger dress.
Marisa Tomei was a beautiful lady in red. The dress itself was a tad simple, but with the necklace and nude Christian Louboutin Patent Platforms, this was one of my favorite looks of the evening.
I saved my favorite look for last. It was worn by House’s Jennifer Morrison, whom I barely recognized. This metallic gold shield Gianfranco Ferre dress was accessorized with Christian Louboutin Double Platform slingbacks.
Hello from snowy Seattle! With the help of the picturesque white scenery outside, I’ve been totally feeling the holiday vibe. To accompany my spirits, I watched one of my favorite holiday movies, Love Actually
Now there’s a scene in the movie where this little girl with wonderful lungs sings “Make my wish come true….All I want for Christmas is yoooouuuu…..and you…and yowhoowhoo (pointing to random people in the room)! Now, there are a few shoes that make me want to burst out in this song, so if you’ll bear with me, play this clip from the movie and start reading along.
All I want for Christmas is you…..
Giuseppe Zanotti ($486 at Zappos with free, guaranteed delivery by Christmas Eve!)
And yoooouuuu
Roberto Cavalli with Giraffe embracing at the vamp ($435 at Zappos, guaranteed delivery by Xmas eve)
and you….

and youwhoowhoo….

Linea Paolo Blush ($139 at Nordies)
All I want for Christmas is for everyone to have a happy holiday!
I just finished watching the movie Wanted on DVD (it was my hubby’s pick). While watching the numerous fight scenes, I was struck at how different a character Angelina Jolie chooses to play onscreen (she’s a foxy assassin, unafraid to use guns and resort to violence) versus her off-screen actions. In real life she’s a Goodwill Ambassador, philanthropist, and adopts children from third world countries. Filled with conflicting messages, right?
And that’s exactly the same way I felt when I saw Angelina in these Stuart Weitzman Patent Sashay Pumps ($199 at Zappos). I’m a big fan of the nude/flesh tone colors as they will elongate anyone’s frame and match everything. I imagine that’s why they are also Angelina’s go-to shoes and a staple in her wardrobe. Yet nude is almost on the opposite of the color spectrum next to the color black, which is the darkest of dark colors. Again, Angelina is a woman full of contrasts and that’s what makes her so interesting to me.
