Celebrity Shoes: Blake Lively wears Valentino ankle boots

After a streak of wearing pantsuits (Which we love, by the way!) to promote her movie A Simple Favor, she's seen outside Dior's office wearing a long sleeve printed button up shirt and printed midi skirt. She completed her look with a scarf, a mini Dior handbag and Valentino lace-up boots.

Her look was an unexpected mix of colors but it worked! What could she wear that is not a hit? None, perhaps. Her Valentino ankle boots feature the brand's ubiquitous pyramidal studs surrounding the edge of the shoe. It has a rubber heel and lace-up design that is perfect this Fall season. It can be yours for $1,200 at Yoox.

Shoe Suggestions for Keri Russell

Keri Russell is beautiful but we think the styling of this particular look seems as if she came out of a 90's magazine cover. She could have styled her hair up and might we suggest these shoes instead?

Shoe Suggestions for Zendaya

Zendaya always looks good on the red carpet--glamorous, edgy or casual--name it, she will make sure that she will leave a mark. For the screening of Without A Net at the New York Film Festival, she chose a beautiful Elie Saab Resort 2018 tea length dress that we almost forgo her unusual white Casadei pumps. So yes, those pumps didn't do enough justice so we are suggesting alternatives.

Go Green!

It's St. Patrick's Day and what better way to celebrate it than to wear something green to bring good luck. If you are a little shy to wear a green dress, why not wear green shoes instead.

Add a romantic twist on your ensemble with this green pump with lace overlay.

You can go a little punk with studs.

Or something metallic for evening parties like this Giuseppe Zanotti pump.

The Best Red Pumps

Giuseppe Zanotti crystal heeled pump, $1,295 at Zappos Couture.

Since we will celebrate Valentine's Day and red happens to be the color of the month, allow me to present to you my personal list of the best red pumps (in no particular order). Red is a sexy and seductive color and when you use it to an equally gorgeous shape of the pumps, it will bring any of its wearer to a certain level of confidence that will surely draw a man's attention. You know that feeling when you are wearing confidence together with your clothes and your shoes that when you enter a room, as if magic, people turn their heads and you see on their face an approving look? 

Check out my selection... if you have not own any red pump, now is the right time for you to buy one.

Valentino bow detail slingback

Valentino bow detail slingback, $694 at Farfetch.

Why am I such a sucker for cute bows?

This Valentino slingback pump with bow detail on the side is too cute for me to not notice. The nude leather strap inserted on the white upper is a unique design. It has 120mm heel and covered platform.

This would go perfectly with crisp white dresses.

Shoe Suggestions for Cameron Diaz

Photo from E! Online.

It's such a sad thing when bad shoes land on good people. It's sadder when those good people are known to have good taste in shoes... like Cameron Diaz. She usually wears kick ass shoes except for this one instance during Christian Dior show in Paris Fashion Week Paris (of all places and event). From the ankle up, she's flawless. Oh, that strappy sandal!

She should have worn any of these shoes:
