I hope I have provided enough red goodies for you this week to help get you in the holiday-dressing mood. Here is the final installation to my Lady in Red series. I saved the best for last . . . jaw-dropping red shoes. The beauty of red shoes is you can throw on any old LBD and look stunning — hot shoes in this color are guaranteed scene stealers. Here are my designer and nondesigner choices. Oh, and if this isn't enough for you (addict!), I wrote about a few red shoes not too long ago.

Christian Louboutin Peep Toe Slingbacks, $710. Take my breath away . . .

Betsey Johnson Merri Shoes, $170. Didn't I say I was going to take you down the red-brick road?

Nine West Leany, on sale for $39.99 (originally $89). The jaw-dropping thing about these is that price!

A week devoted to the color red would not be complete without a story about fabulous red handbags. I was really excited to put this one together so enjoy the ride! Here are my designer and non-designer faves:

Cynthia Rowley Ophelia Burgundy Handbag, $349.95. This one is a bit more street - looks like it could take a beating in style.

Maybe you're not a die hard red girl. This is understandable - red is a bold, if not the boldest color in the rainbow. If this is you, red accents can festify an outfit.

Temple St. Clair Vine Bracelet with Garnet, $11,000.

Wearing red is a bold statement. Though this is my favorite color - has been for a long time - I don't wear it very often because it is such a powerful color. When I do wear red, it's an indication I'm feeling empowered and fiery. Now you may not be as sensitive as me when it comes to wearing this classic color, alas, it is the holidays and this is the color of choice for many. Whether you are a bold red lady or a gorgeous aubergine girl, red can be very versatile. Even geeksugar is into red. This week I'm going to take you on a journey down the red brick road. To kick off Red Week, enjoy these smashing red coats:

LL Collezione Military Peacoat, $145. Classic red + pea coat = flirty red.

J.Crew Double-cloth Deep Aubergine Lady Day coat, $298 regular, also comes in petite, tall and with Thinsulate. Deep Aubergine + tailored coat = sophisticated red.
