There are certain pieces that automatically remind you of something else. Like when I discovered these Nine West Mohawk Sandals ($90), images of Givenchy — particularly the Fall '09 Haute Couture collection — came to mind. So if you can't afford the real thing, might as well go for these gorgeous chain-embellished beauties. They'll go with everything from casual tank dresses to cool denim cutoffs to sexy skirts.

But variety is the spice of life, and there's no one shade that looks great on everyone. With our variety of skin tones and personal styles, it's hard to navigate the trends — especially when most of the people shown wearing it are tanned and blonde (heck, it's still not easy even if you are tanned and blonde). So I've put together seven pretty but unique looks for this season. Click through and find at least two shades of red that'll look great on you.

Sneak Peek! Ann Taylor, Fall '09

Ann Taylor has really stepped it up these days.
Ann Taylor Fall '09 Look Book With Heidi Klum

Ann Taylor has really stepped it up these days. The retailer adopted a more trend-conscious aesthetic and it recently hired Heidi Klum to be its cashmere model! I'm quite impressed by its Fall collection. There is a look for every girl and the styling has been executed flawlessly. Casual denim, puffer jackets, coats, and wow-worthy red dresses and skirts are all must haves. I'm thinking this Wool Bow Coat ($295) needs to come home with me. Proceed to shop my favorite looks.

Sneak Peek! Anthropologie, Fall '09

Anthropologie Fall Catalog, November 2009

Anthropologie's November catalog is a surefire way to get in the holiday spirit. British model Jacquetta Wheeler — dressed in everything from pretty lace to cozy sweaters — is seen frolicking in (faux) snow. It's all so romantic. I can't help but be consumed by the impressive styling, and I'm sure CasaSugar is mesmerized by the rustic scene. Granted, not everyone wears shorts in the snow, but I adore Jacquetta's outfit here; a little checkers, a little wool, equals a lot of charm. Experience it for yourself.
