Manolo says, after all of the buckles and straps and glittery glam-o-tchotkes, it is pleasant to see more tranquil, classically elegant shoes, such as this Simple Ankle Boot from Christian Louboutin .

Shoebunny spotted Rachel Bilson in Vanessa Bruno sandals . Rachel’s sandals are from the Vanessa Bruno Athé collection and feature green leather, silver tone metal studs, open toe, cutout detailing at the sides, a buckle fastening strap at the ankle, and flat leather sole. They are available for $460.00. Also see Rachel in Lanvin sandals and in Christian Louboutin wedges . Some words of wisdom from Rachel: “feel like you have to be who you are and be true to yourself first, always. You can`t worry about how you`re going to be perceived by other people. I have a quote that my mom taught me: “It`s none of my business what other people think of me”.” “I really do believe that if someone tries hard enough, they can get what they want. If you put all your effort towards something, you`re going to be rewarded. The trick is to not give up. If you don`t, anything can happen” For more Vanessa Bruno shoes refer to Shoebunny’s ever-growing Vanessa Bruno collection.

IT’S FASHION WEEK, LADIES. Shows and models and Naomi Campbell, OH MY. Last night on the Rachel Zoe Project , not only were there near-tragedies of the fashion variety, but there were actual tragedies as well, which seemed like slightly unfamiliar territory for the Zoe folks. In the fashion department, Rachel got a last-minute job styling a huge charity fashion show and New York Fashion Week almost got snowed out, but then a devastating earthquake shook Haiti and Alexander McQueen took his own life and we all got a reminder that fashion is, after all, just fashion. Even when Rachel Zoe is involved. But as the old cliché goes, the show must go on. In this case, the show was Naomi Campbell’s pet project, and you don’t want to be on the receiving end of an unhappy Blackberry smack from her. Blackberries are way heavier and more painful than iPhones. As the show opened, Rachel was readying herself to go to New York and Milan for their respective fashion weeks to scout Oscar dresses and celebrate general fabulousness. As you can imagine, Rachel Zoe is not an efficient packer.

Christian Louboutin’s red soles may be a celebrity and shoe fan favorite, but Cesare Paciotti is giving us a new sole design to droll over. Starting this fall, new Paciotti soles will feature beautiful trademarked lace prints over a red background (left) and the signature gold dagger. This new background oozes sexy appeal with a feminine touch. Not a fan of red? The colors will change with each season and style. For spring, the lace will be printed over a nude leather color (right). I already can’t wait to see what other colors Paciotti has in store for us.

A stunning bag like this may be something you won’t imagine using for just any occasion but it is something that will truly deliver an impressive punch.

Come one, come all to my very first recap of The Rachel Zoe Project ! The show debuted its third season last night in a fit of sparkly dresses and fired employees, and it proved once again why it’s the absolute best fashion porn on television. Sorry, Gossip Girl – Rachel Zoe has you beat. But sky-high shoes and Hermes cuffs aren’t the only things that Rachel Zoe has to offer – this episode had a giraffe. A giraffe on a beach. It also had a scene where Rachel’s husband obsessively watched football, which was almost as unexpected as a giraffe on a beach. Things started with a scandal about which many of us have already read: the internet was exploding with talk of Taylor’s, uh, issues . Issues of the financial/missing cash/oh crap Taylor’s cookin’ the books variety. I’m not sure how the internet caught wind of all of those problems before Rachel’s husband and business partner Rodger managed to explain them to her, but apparently it did. We’re a wily bunch out here in the tubes. Eventually Brad and the rest of Rachel’s assistants arrived to hear the news, and we all learned that Taylor had been fired after creating her own mini Enron within the RZ empire.

This Christian Louboutin clutch bag marks the height of high fashion. It’s a simple rectangular piece, made really extra ordinary by this frilly detail. The bag is made from blue satin.

Don’t these Black Faux Suede Knee High Platform Heel Boots (that sell for only $22.99 from Ami Clubwear ) look like near replicas of Christian Louboutin Gazolina Black Suede Boots (that retail for $2,295 from Barneys New York)? Smooth faux suede uppers in a knee high platform boots. Rounded closed toe, front tonal stitching, 15 inch shaft measures from arch to top, 15 1/2 inch circumference with folded cuff that splits on back. Side zipper. Soft fabric lining, slightly cushioned footbed. 3/4 inch platform midsole, 5 inch high heel. Isn’t it so sad that most people (probably myself included) wouldn’t be able to tell the difference from a distance that you only paid 1% of the retail value? Christian Louboutin Boots
