Celebrity Shoe Spotting: Katherine Heigl in Aruna Seth

 

When I think of Katherine Heigl- and Aruna Seth shoes, for that matter- glamorous images often come to mind. However, I guess we all have to relax at some point. During some recent downtime in LA, the former Grey’s Anatomy star paired her plaid button up shirt and jeans with Aruna Seth’s Jemmima flats.

 

Grossgrain ribbon and gold button details give the sandals a girly touch, but they’re not so overly femme that they can’t be worn with looks like Heigl’s. Got an extra $510? You can get your own pair HERE. Want the style but can’t foot the bill? Here are a few similar renditions of the look for less:

Shoes Clues: Style Tips from Brad Goreski

 

I recently had a brief shoe chat with celebrity stylist and reality TV star, Brad Goreski during Alexandre Birman’s Fashion Week event at SAKS FIFTH AVENUE. After he complimented me on my makeup (which I did all by myself. Hey now!), I asked him for recommendations on which shoes a woman should wear in certain situations to get particular results. Mr. “It’s a Brad Brad World” (premiering on BRAVO in 2012) currently dresses Jessica Alba, a frequent best dressed lister, so I’d say he knows a thing or two.

S&B: What should a woman wear to let a date know he’d better bring his A game?

Brad: A seriously high platform with spikes. (I took creative license and pictured the Ruthie Davis Spikette Deluxe here because Alexandre Birman didn’t do a spiked platform this season)

S&B: And if she’s going to a job interview?

Brad: A pump with personality… like something in a patent or snakeskin. Go with a twist on a classic. (Like this burgundy python number by Alexandre Birman- available at SAKS)

S&B: What about a shoe that says she’s looking for fun?

Brad: Color! Neons… I saw a turquoise snakeskin loafer around here… (Here they are… Alexandre Birman python loafers)

(S&B sidebar- I think the loafer’s awesome, but if you’re like me and have a high heel habit, maybe go for something like this Jerome C. Rousseau Isy sandal)

S&B: OK, here’s the last question… what should a woman wear to catch the eye of a special guy- but not seem too fussy?

Brad: A sleek ankle boot. Elongate those legs, honey! (I think he’d approve either of these booties from Alexandre Birman.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wondering what brad had on his feet? Here ya go!

Oh… and my makeup… #youcare (subtle silver eye with a candy pink lip… I need to work on my photography skills because you can barely even see my makeup in this picture.)

Fun Friday: Fever Brittany Pumps & Charlie Sheen Tiger Blood

 

Goddess DNA

You’re a walking party, complete with smoke machines and music. Everyone knows you breathe fun into every experience… that’s why they like having you around. Nevermind that you have a tendency to overdo it at times. As long as you’re the star of your own over-the-top show (all the world’s a stage), you’re WINNING. Celebrate the spotlight in a pair of show-stopping shoes, like these Brittany pumps from Fever Shoes. The tie-dyed red, double platform and 5 inch heel can’t be ignored any more easily than Charlie Sheen’s latest antics. However, they do serve just the right amount of sex-goddess.

You don’t wait until 4 PM to start happy hour, nor do you wait for the weekend for a Bloody Mary. That said, whatever time you choose to begin your binge today, do it with a “Tiger’s Blood with a Dash of Adonis DNA.” Named for Charlie Sheen’s self-proclaimed genetic makeup, and available at the newly opened Hash Fifty Five in NY, it’s a potent, spicy take on the Bloody Mary. The ingredient list reads more like a witch’s brew than a cocktail (see below), and it’s beyond potent but I hear it gives you the strength of Two and a Half Men. Cheers!

Recipe:

Dash of Bragg Liquid Aminos
1/4 teaspoon harissa
1/4 red horseradish sauce
1/4 teaspoon wasabi powder
1/4 teaspoon Ras El Hanout
Dash of Glenmorangie Sherry
fresh grated ginger
dash of olive juice
dash of balsamic
2 ounces vodka
Pinch celery salt
7 drops Worcestershire
6 oz  tomato juice
lime juice
lemon juice, salt & pepper

Combine all ingredients in a highball glass with ice, stir well, splash another dash of Aminos, garnish with lime and serve.

Shoe News: Jimmy Choo's a Red Carpet Winner at the Golden Globes

Here's to Lookin' at Choo, Kid...

Last night's Golden Globe Awards brought out the glam in the goddesses of the big and small screen. While the gowns were gorgeous, they were also relatively conservative. Our concern at Shoes & Booze, though, was (you guessed it) the shoes, and little of what we saw sent our hearts aflutter. Debra Messing, Elizabeth Banks, Taraji Henson, Madeline Zima, Cameron Diaz and Nancy O'Dell get thumbs up from us. Heidi Klum gets plenty of shoe points for her Christian Louboutins and loses lots of style points for the dress she wore with them. However, America Ferrera and Olivia Wilde stole the (shoe) show in their Jimmy Choos as far as we're concerned. America's champagne peep toed "Clue" slingback pumps (from the '09 Cruise collection & available at Saks) complimented her one-shoulder Oscar de la Renta gown exquisitely. Olivia's Reem Acra gown covered her metallic sandals (from the '09 Spring collection & available for pre-order at Saks) completely, but she was sweet enough to give us a peek.
