Shoe Paparazzi

Hayden Panettiere looks just adorable here in her black coat, blue jeans and grey boots. Grey is the color of the season and can be seen in everything from footwear to handbags to hats.

What’s great about wearing grey shoes and boots is that they are very versatile. You can wear grey with black or other neutrals, as well as with jewel-tone colors.

These Steve Madden Feud grey leather boots are some of my favorites this season. The lace-up detailing on the back makes them very unique.

These boots feature a grey leather upper and a nice 3″ heel. You can wear them with just about anything - from jeans, like Hayden, to a mini dress with tights to a long flowing skirt.

When wearing grey boots or shoes, you can choose to accessorize with a coordinating grey handbag.

A cute option is the Fox Platinium Deluxe 2 Purse pictured below. This bag features a faux python print and two great pockets on the outside. It’s big enough to carry all your essentials, but it’s not oversized.

You can get this bag at Zappos.com for just $91.95.

Singer Ashley Tisdale looked hot, despite the cold weather, as she performed live on stage at the 75th Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony on November 28, 2007 in New York City.

Ashley wore a sequined mini dress with opaque tights and ankle boots in a look that is very popular this season.

Instead of wearing longer dresses and skirts, you can still wear sexy mini-dresses in the wintertime, as long as you accessories in ways to warm them up. Opaque tights or leggings coupled with heeled ankle boots are a great way to look chic and stylish.

Choose leather and suede ankle boots in black, brown, grey, cranberry and prints.

Here are a couple of my favorite ankle boots from Zappos.com this season.

Tribeca Turning Point Ankle Boots - $92.95
I love these boots because the shaft is a little higher than the traditional ankle boot for some extra coverage. The gathering in the front is very stylish and the pointed toe keeps them very feminine.

Lumiani Vina Leopard Ankle Boots - $219.95
These boots feature a soft suede upper in a fun leopard print. They are accented with a black patent cuff. In addition to the 3-inch stacked heel, these boots also have a concealed platform.

Actress Kim Smith arrives at the Nissan Live Sets on Yahoo! Music Anniversary Celebration on November 27, 2007 in Century City wearing these adorable grey suede flat boots.

Flat boots are very popular this winter. They don’t need to look clunky, but can look stylish as evidence by the pair on Kim. Here are three of my favorite flat boots.

Steve Madden Tianna Suede Boots - $95.95
Thes Steve Madden boots are perfect if you are looking for that slouchy style. They come in a variety of colors perfect for winter, including Black, Brown, Grey, Sand and even Blue!

Nine West Samella Suede Boots - $135.00
These boots are available in dark brown, black and natural suede. They feature some very chic, modern touches, such as the round buckle at the top and slightly squared toe. These are another very stylish yet affordable selection from Zappos.com.

Giuseppe Zanotti White Fur Pull-On Boots - $1398.95
For a very eccentric and very expensive choice, these boots from Giuseppe Zannoti are a top choice. They feature a neutral color upper and white fur covering the entire shaft. What’s unique about these boots is the huge gold decorative buckle!

Visit Zappos.com where you can find a variety of boots in every style and price range.

When Nicole Kidman attended The Golden Compass world premiere held at the Odeon Leicester Square in London on November 27, 2007, she was looking very chic, as always.

Nicole wore a lovely pearl satin dress and a long scarf, which complemented her blonde hair very nicely. On her feet, she wore a love pair of d’Orsay peep-toe pumps.

A d’Orsay style pump is a shoe in which the sides are cut away to reveal the arch of the foot. The vamp of the shoe is also often cut close to the toe box. These shoes reveal a lot of skin and are some of the most feminine, sexy shoes that a woman can buy.

If you are looking for a fabulous d’Orsay shoe, Zappos.com offers an array of very beautiful choices.

The Stuart Weitzman Gemgal shoes pictured below are simply gorgeous. This Stuart Weitzman shoe features Swarovski crystal accents and a bow on the vamp. These adorable shoes are available in both Platino Satin (a pearly silver) and Black. These are the perfect shoes for an evening out on the town and you can get them right now for $285.

All purchases on Zappos come with free overnight shipping and their 110% price protection guarantee. With over 170,000 styles of shoes available, you are sure to find something you love at Zappos.com.

When Vanessa Hudgens stepped out to the American Music Awards, she was wearing these gold strappy sandals to complement her gold sequin dress. Vanessa looked just gorgeous as she walked down the red carpet.

Though the weather is getting colder, you can still wear strappy sandals with eveningwear. Whether you are headed to a nightclub or holiday gala, look for sandals in metallic colors, such as gold, silver and bronze to glam up even the simplest outfits.

Here are a few great options in metallic strappy sandals from Zappos.

Annie Carrie Strappy Dress Shoes
These cute shoes come in gold, silver, pewter, bronze and black. They provide a glitzy elegance that will complement any outfit. These sandals feature an easy slip-on style and a jewel encrusted V. At only $50.95, they are very affordable.

Kenneth Cole New York Py-Baby Gold
If you are looking for a shoe that’s flat but still glamorous, choose these sandals by Kenneth Cole. These gold sandals can be worn with a variety of outfits from a sophisticated black dress to a pair of cropped jeans.

Charles David Strive Pewter Leather Sandals
These pewter sandals feature a braided T-strap and a very fashionable wedge heel. These would be perfect for a night out dancing. They also come in mint, black, vanilla and pink. These gorgeous sandals are $175 at Zappos.

When actress Melora Hardin of “The Office” stepped out the the Road to a Cure Gala in Beverly Hills earlier this month, she was wearing a fabulous silver metallic dress, along with these shiny silver T-strap shoes pictured to the right.

T-straps continue to be popular this season, particularly in metallics.

If you are looking for a very similar shoe, the Kenneth Cole New York Jazz Club is perfect for the holidays.

These shoes feature a combination of metallic silver mirrored leather with grey suede for a very modern look. They also have a polished wood heel that is quite the contrast from the rest of the shoe, making these very unique.

Despite the 3 1/2″ heel and all the glamour, these T-straps are actually comfortable. They have a cushioned footbed and Micro-tech midsole for shock absorbtion. In other words, these heels are great for dancing.

So whether you are headed to the night club or to holiday gala, these Kenneth Cole shoes are a hot choice.

You can get them right now at Zappos.com for $168.95. Zappos offers free overnight shipping, so you’ll be sure to get them in time for your party!

At the Futurama premiere earlier this month, actress Lauren Tom wore a lovely pair of very pointy, black slingbacks.

Though many women have turned to round toes because of the pain caused by some pointy toe shoes, I have always found that pointed toes are much more feminine and chic.

There is nothing wrong with keeping pointy toe shoes in your wardrobe as long as you don’t wear them too much. You shouldn’t wear these types of shoes while standing on your feet 10 hours a day, but rather save them special occasions or evenings out.

The J. Renee Glaze is a very stylish yet affordable option. These slingbacks have a modern look with the accent strap across the vamp. The elasticized back and padded footbed make these shoes built for comfort.

These shoes come in black, silver and light gold, and you can find them right now at Zappos.com for just $93.95.

Lindsay Lohan looks ready for winter as she steps out in New York City this week. Lindsay’s leather jacket, print scarf and black leather boots give her a chic, pulled-together look.

If you are looking for a new pair of stylish leather boots this season, Zappos.com has a terrific selection available. Whether you prefer ankle boots, lace-up-boots or knee-high boots, you will have plenty of options to choose from.

One great choice this winter are the Gabrielle Rocha Chrissy boots pictured below. These black leather pull-on boots feature a nice 3 1/4″ heel and come in both black and brown leather.

What I like about these boots is that the heel isn’t outrageously high, but it’s high enough to provide some lift. If you prefer flat boots however, Zappos does have a nice selection of boots with little or no heel as well.

These versatile boots would look great with a pair of jeans tucked in, or with a wool mini-skirt and tights. Right now you can get these boots for only $139.95 at Zappos.

If you are looking for an interesting shoe with lots of style, look no further than the Jessica Simpson Melk.

These retro-inspired shoes from Jessica Simpson feature a funky black and white dot pattern and 4″ wedge heel. The Melk has a criss cross strap that creates the sexy peep-toe and a covered platform that gives you even a little more height.

If the dots are a little too funky for your taste, these shoes are also available in Electric Raspberry Nubuck. The dark berry color makes for a great contrast against the modern wood wedge.

Right now these shoes are only $88.95 at Zappos.com. With prices like that and free overnight shipping, you can’t help but buy these fabulous shoes!

Last week, Mary-Kate Olsen arrived at the 7th on Sale Black-tie Gala Dinner to benefit the fight against AIDS wearing a white dress that didn’t exactly flatter her petite figure. However, the real eye-catcher wasn’t her poufy dress, it was her shoes.

Mary-Kate was wearing Giambattista Valli’s Victoria shoe, named after Victoria Beckham, of course.

These futuristic looking shoes feature unique styling, a big platform and a six-inch heel, giving Mary-Kate some needed height.

The hot pink heel and sole make for a great contrast against these white shoes.

Below is Victoria wearing the same shoe in silver for the Elle Magazine photo shoot in October, as well as a close-up look of Mary-Kate’s shoes.
