Not just a few isolated department stores or boutiques are chucking out the winter pinks and bringing in the late winter/early spring cruise reds. A visit to Bottega Veneta on 5th Avenue showed that saucy reds are back, whether for business or pleasure.

I love these red pinstriped pants for work! Celebs like Ashley Greene and Penelope Cruz were entranced with the red pinstriped suit Bottega Veneta showed on the runway. Penelope looks smashing in red, I think, but I would’ve made the suit tighter on her, wouldn’t you? She’s got those sexy curves to flaunt!

The Pourpre Calf Sandal is $920.

Inside the cavernous Bottega Veneta space, there were more lovelies, but they wouldn’t let me take any photos, so please check out the lovely shoes and bags here.

With the 2010 Sundance Film Festival winding down this weekend, I wanted to post a few photos I took capturing my favorite cold weather style.

Here’s Robert Redford, the founder of Sundance, in his cowboy boots at the opening day press conference. I love how his cowboy boots complement his Western shirt!

Next up is Julianne Moore (with co-star Mark Ruffalo) at the premiere of her new much-praised film The Kids Are All Right. Her black boots with wooden soles look so stylish with her black pants and fuzzy sweater/vest combo. I love how the outfit offsets Julianne Moore’s pale skin and bright red hair!

And finally, a group shot of lovely ladies in great boots! This is the entire cast of Please Give (Amanda Peet, Catherine Keener, Rebecca Hall, Sarah Steeleat, Director Nicole Holofcener, and Oliver Plattat) the film’s premiere. Amanda Peet, Rebecca Hall, and Catherine Keener were all sporting high black boots!

Seeing all of these actresses in great boots makes me want to go shopping! And, of course, Robert Redford has inspired me to buy a new pair of cowboy boots!

Juliette Lewis stars in one of my favorite 2010 Sundance films, Sympathy for Delicious. Her character in Sympathy for Delicious is a wannabe rock star with style to match. The film is actor Mark Ruffalo’s directorial debut.

At the film’s Sundance premiere, Juliette Lewis looked so cute! I loved her leather leggings paired with boots! In person, the boots looked a bit more like motorcycle boots than they do in this photo, but the effect remains.

At Gen Art’s VIP Daytime Lounge, Juliette Lewis wore her leather leggings with furry snow bunny boots. The look is more casual and still totally adorable!

Ivanka Trump has signed a deal to design a contemporary footwear line via Marc Fisher Footwear.  In doing so, she joins the ranks of famous wealthy celebrities such as Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson, and Nicole Richie who have shoe lines bearing their namesake.

For most of these ‘designers’, I’ve been less than impressed. However, I find myself somewhat curious to see the end result here. For one, despite Ivanka’s ostentatious father and no doubt gilded upbringing, she has grown up to be a classy and intelligent business woman, free of the scandals I’ve sadly become too accustomed  to seeing in the tabloids. She already has a jewelry line out too, which isn’t half bad.  My hope is that the shoes will be equally elegant and hopefully more original than other celebs who lend their name but seemingly little else to the brand.

What are your thoughts? Do you think Ivanka has what it takes to be a shoe designer or will she fall flat on her pumps so to speak?
