Trend Alert: Ravishing Red Heels

FabSugar — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 09:00:22 PST

I can't get enough of Victoria Beckham's Thanksgiving fashions. Check her out looking posh as ever out and about in NYC. I love everything about this outfit, but something caught my undivided attention: her ravishing red heels (Loubs, of course!). Now is the time to don this festive color. The sexy hue is ideal for the holiday season and the styles are endless. Strappy, platform, stiletto - you get the picture. On another note, can you think of a better way to make a LBD pop? I didn't think so.

Funny, I've been lusting after her Christian Louboutin Rolando Hidden-Platform ($700). Actually, that price tag is not so funny. Oh, to live the Posh life!

There's the power of red. Then there's the power of a red shoe. Valentine's Day isn't too far away, and it's time to start thinking of ways to wow him. I say: ditch the fancy lingerie and invest in a pair of red hot heels. At the end of the night, let these be your only article of clothing. Is it hot in here?

FabSugar — Fri, 22 Dec 2006 04:22:03 PST

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!

More to drool over,

Zac Posen Suede & Patent Leather Pump ($425). The mix of suede and patent leather is like mixing wine and vodka - a dangerous combination!

ALDO Patent Peep Toe Pumps, $69.99. Va-va voom!

Moschino Ladybug Pumps, $398.95. This one's dedicated to GiggleSugar.

8 Things You Think Are Good for Your Money . . . That Aren't

LearnVest — Fri, 11 May 2012 15:03:23 PDT

You may be wasting money when you think you're saving. LearnVest shares eight of the biggest money misconceptions.

Frugalista. Recessionista. In the past few years, people have coined a lot of silly words describing women and their approach to money, but the thought behind each of them is the same: You care about your hard-earned dollars and want to make them stretch.

That's true of most of us: We scrimp, we pinch, we try to feed our proverbial piggy bank as much as possible. Yet sometimes, in our excitement to be financial overachievers, we overreach.

It turns out there are a number of things that sound like they'd be doing good things for your money, and make you feel like you're saving more . . . when, actually, they're having the opposite effect.

Paying Every Debt Equally

When you have multiple debts to pay off (a credit card here, a student loan there) you might feel like a rock star simply for keeping up with them all and dividing your attention in a lot of different directions. Which, in a sense, you are! After all, you should always pay at least the minimums on all your loans.

But, if you have extra money to pay down your debts, you’re doing yourself a disservice by dividing it equally. The debts with the highest interest rates grow the fastest, so you should focus your muscle on the most toxic debts first.

Christian Louboutin Launches a Beauty Brand

Jessica Cruel — Fri, 11 May 2012 08:35:11 PDT

You may not be ready to splurge on a pair of Louboutin heels yet, but no worries: his cosmetics line could be classing up your bathroom counter in 2013. The famed shoe designer has started a new company, Christian Louboutin Beauté. "Beauty products also have to do with empowering women," he explained to WWD. "That's very much the job of the shoes I'm designing." This announcement comes just in time for the shoemaker's 20th anniversary this year.

Louboutin's inspiration for beauty comes from the famed Egyptian queen Nefertiti (so you can bet kohl eyeliner will be in the lineup). Expect his signature red soles to sprout many variations within his cosmetics line, too, including lipstick and nail colors. And if it wasn't implied, this line will be chic and luxurious. The new line "has to mirror the quality of the shoes, of the bags, of all the DNA of the brand," Louboutin said. We'd expect no less.
