It's official, red shoes are in! Make like Dorothy of Oz and buy a striking hot pair of red shoes to spice up your evening look. Both of my favorite style icons have taken the brave step of teaming their Little Black Dresses with red bowed, sky scraper heels. Now don't be afraid of red, if you do it right you won't end up looking like a hooker! Scroll up to see how it can be done...

In her shoes...

Cotton Lawn Wrap Dress, $148.00, Banana Republic
Slim Sexy Tube Dress, $139.00, Bebe
Lace V Neck Dress, $29.80, Forever 21
Open Toe: Steve Madden, Anette, $89.95
Sandals: Martinez Valero, $125.00 available from Bloomingdales
Pumps: Guess, Carrie, $90.00
Wedges: Christian Dior available at Saks Fifth Avenue

Let your feet do all the talking as you wear a simple black evening dress with one of these gorgeous red shoes... I picked 4 different types of red shoe (open toe, sandals, pumps & wedges), so you can choose which style suits you best. I personally love the red pointed pumps from Guess - look at the leopard print insoles! If you're a baller, or married to one, you can afford the cute wedges from Christian Dior available at Saks.

Mel B aka Scary Spice

Melanie Brown of the now defunct Spice Girls was spotted in LA last month looking fantastic! She definitely kept her body in shape after giving birth and I love this outfit - casual can also be sexy! I wonder if she'll ever come out with another album? Her and Ginger spice were always my favorite... If you're wondering what happened to the Spice Girls, Ginger just had her first baby, Baby has a pretty steady singing career in Europe, Mel C's last album tanked :( and of course Victoria Beckham, aka Posh, is now based in Spain with her beau who plays out there...
Note: I found out that Mel's shoes are by Marc by Marc Jacobs: Open Toe Ribbon Pumps, www.eluxury.com, $350!

I still can't find out who Mel B's shoes are designed by in the post below, but when I find out i'll let you guys know :) As for the rest of her look, I found some cute tee's from Kitson (see below) which you can buy online if you're not from LA. If their prices are to high for you try Forever 21, H&M or Gap for some bargain priced tops! The capri's are all by Urban Outfitter's - they actually have a wide selection of capri's but these were the most similar to Mel's style. Visit www.urbanoutfitters.com to see their full collection. Team this look with high heels for a glammed up day look!

Crazy about Kitson!

If you're from LA then you're probably already familiar with the boutique store called Kitson, if not then let me be the first to introduce you to this cool store which holds everything from funky tees to unique jewelry! Fans of the boutique include celebs such as Mischa Barton, Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton... Gwen Stefani even provides her clothing line L.A.M.B for the store. You can order stuff from them online @ www.shopkitson.com or if you're on the west coast go check them out in person!

Style Spotlight: Alicia Keys

Well just look at Ms. Keys! She looks great here leaving Oprah Winfrey's Legends Ball screening in May of this year.

Alicia has really stepped up her fashion game since her early days as a star and she's seems to have lost a little weight since this time last year.

Alicia is also trying her hand at acting, starring in two movies. 'The Nanny Diaries' and 'Smokin' Aces' will both be out in 2007. Do the damn thing Alicia!

Catwalk Copy...

Beyonce is also a fan of Mouret
Ginger Knee Length Dress in Navy, $24.60, Forever 21
Forever 21 have their own version of the infamous Roland Mouret dress! (By the way you'll hear a lot about Forever 21 here because I am lovin' them right now!) Anyway, this dress is just $24.80 and such a good copy... I'd team it with these black shoes from Aldo (Florimene $89.99) and a brooch from H&M - they have some really cheap, beautiful, vintage inspired brooches. Add a blazer to the outfit for office hours...
