Rachel Bilson was out to lunch in Los Feliz, CA the other day… but she opted to cover up from the paps with her purse rather than smile for the camera. And what a purse it was!—the one and only Chanel Medallion Caviar Quilted tote. She completed her Siwy Denim Camilla, Cut-Off Shorts in Fall in Love ensemble with Belle by Sigerson Morrison boots, Three Dots jersey colette short sleeved open crew neck baby blue t-shirt, and the ultimate incognito gear: Ray-Ban Original Wayfarer sunglasses. Cute styling, but she should forget about being camera shy!

Ladies, when you’re out on the prowl dressed in your sexiest jeans, what’s the denim jean’s wing-man? Shoes, of course. Let’s talk about the perfect way to lure in that cute boy you’ve been eyeing with some captivating sexy footwear. Before you know it, you’ll have to beg the poor pup to “heel boy heel!”
Here are a few “IT” boots and shoes that are currently hot! In addition, more sizzling trends for the upcoming season as inspiration and lower priced alternatives to get your juices flowing!
Ice-Ice Baby! Nicolas Ghesquiere for Balenciaga had the mind blowing rubber and latex boot this F/W. These futuristically architectural boots are something that I would imagine wearing around in Superman’s ‘Fortress of Solitude’. Illuminating and avant garde, with these on you will be a force to reckon with! One trend to look out for this coming spring and summer are lucite heels. Check out Stella McCartney’s gorgeous lucite-heeled sandals from her S/S 09 collection (inquire at Stella McCartney stores for more info and price). I would go as minimal in dress as possible to showcase both the shoes and your oh-so-fine figure and derriere. Get a jump start on the jumpsuit trend and try these shoes with Thayer’s denim romper ($169, www.shopbop.com).
But for most of us, who’s kryptonite is the paralyzing recession, let’s take a look at more modest takes on the two styles. Nothing can compare to the Balenciagas so we won’t even try, but there are plenty of fashionable alternatives. If you want to invest in a pair of pricey shoes, make sure that they are either really special or classics that you can keep forever. Otherwise, ride the trend wave and shop around for the best inspired looks at bargain basement prices.

Pair these bad-boys up with Pratt Denim’s ‘Norton’ black oiled skinny motorcycle jeans on sale for $119, originally $198 (www.bluefly.com).
