Celebrity Style

December 11, 2008

We have talked a lot about boots this season and they are still the must have fashion item for fall 2008. But there are plenty of great shoes we need to talk about as well.

I think one of the more risky choices is one of the hottest shoes of the season from Christian Louboutin “Altadama” watersnake is it’s name. Why is it risky. Well not everyone can pull off the look that it takes to wear this shoe. If you are over 85 and feel a little unsure of the look for you that’s OK. But you can look as fab as a Celebrity. If you can wear the dark glasses you can wear the shoes. Has it been a while since you turn heads? Had them whispering as you walked by? Now is the time to get it back! You know what I am talking about. Make the guys turn their heads and Your girl friends too. Google Altadama to see who is wearing this shoe. You don’t have to sing to look like a star.
