Shoe of the Week - "Mirror" by Gianvito Rossi

Black, brown, and beige are great for daytime, but if you're looking for one stunning nighttime shoe that'll go with everything this fall, consider these mirrored metallic Gianvito Rossi gold pumps ($563 at Luisa Via Roma). After all, gold is the new neutral—right?

The 110 mm tall pointed-toe pump features a low-cut rise—for just a peek of toe cleavage—and a mirror-finish calfskin outer and inner. Wear with head-to-toe black, all your gold jewelry, or even a bold colorblock.

If you love the gold pump look, but want to see other options, check out these option for under $50.

Shoe Obsession of the Day: The Iris van Herpen and United Nude "Thorn" Bootie

OMG, shoes! More specifically—Oh. Em. Gee. these shoes!

Dutch fashion designer Iris van Herpen collaborated with United Nude to create this hauntingly beautiful monstrosity of a heel that was unveiled on the runway in Paris this week. Making it the duo's sixth time working together, the appropriately named "Thorn" bootie was crafted for van Herpen’s Autumn/Winter 2012 haute couture collection, Hybrid Holism.

The ferocious footwear measures in at a towering 7.4 inches and features spikes made from hand-cut semi-precious stones. It's not the first time the collabo has stomped their way into fashion headlines—anybody remember the fanged fabulousness from Spring 2012?

There's something totally Lady Gaga about these, no? What do you guys think?

Try This Trend: Colorful Footwear

Neon is all the rage these days, but if fluorescent pink pants and highlighter yellow blouses aren't exactly your style, there's a much easier way to dip your toe into the vibrant new trend: shoes!

Hollywood's hottest starlets have been energizing their wardrobe with vivid shoes in a variety of different styles. Some celebs like Kim Kardashian and Glee's Jayma Mays have been spicing up monochrome cocktail dresses with bold footwear choices, while others have matched their brightly-hued heels with ensembles that are equally eye-catching. So get into the neon spirit by checking out how celebs have been brightening up their shoe collections.

Taraji P. Henson punched up her pastel ensemble with a bright pair of fuchsia heeled sandals at a screening of Think Like a Man. Taraji's floral print jeans are also perfectly on trend with the wave of flower power that has been sweeping through Hollywood.

Kim Kardashian hasn't been shy about jumping on the neon trend (check out this bright orange jacket she wore a few weeks ago), and we love the way she paired this silver strapless number with a pair of bold, look-at-me pink pumps. As if we need another excuse to look at her...

Actress and model Amber Rose isn't known for subtlety, so it's not exactly shocking that she chose to pair her neon yellow pumps with a turquoise dress and bright pink lipstick. No shy wallflowers here.

Gossip Girl has always been a gem of small screen fashion, so it's no surprise that Michelle Trachtenberg looked absolutely fabulous in a pair of purple suede platform pumps while on the set of the CW drama. Her studded purse is also to die for.

New Shoe Alert :: Simone Rocha Brogues With Glass Heel

I was over on NecoleBitchie.com, like I usually am to keep up with my celebrity "friends" (in my head), and I saw these shoes!! I have never seen them before, ANYWHERE... but I do believe I have fallen for them.

Apparently, last year, 25 year old UK designer Simone Rocha debuted her first line of shoes during London’s Fashion Week and she put a different spin on leather and pony skin oxford-styled shoes by designing them with an elevated glass wedge heel. It actually looks as though the shoes are propped on a display stand.

In the beginning seeing the normal brogue heel attached onto the glass part was horrendous to me, but now I can't stop staring in a blissful awe.

Daring to be different, singer Rita Ora, was spotted outside of BBC Radio One in London wearing the heels which is how I initially came across the shoes to begin with. I just had to know why she was walking around on her tip-toes all day.

Beyonce's Street Style Reaches New Heights

After the debate of whether Skate Boots were even hot yesterday, the last thing we’d expect to see is a pregnant woman keeping her balance on those unique heels. Beyonce was spotted around Manhattan yesterday afternoon, bundled up in a red jacket, leopard print scarf and pair of brown Alain Quilici Payson Skate Boots. Unlike the DSquared2 Skate Moss Lace Up Boot, the heel on this boot looks much more sturdier and is probably as easy as walking on a normal wedge heel.

More about these Skate Boots

Just when you’ve thought you’ve come across every heel imaginable…

DSquared was thinking out-of-the-box when they designed these vintage skate boots for their Fall/Winter 2011 collection. Think, ice skates meet trendy stiletto boots. These are unique shoes that look just like ice skates, but enable you to get the look while walking on anything but ice! They are available in a cute black oxford bootie, a white or black tie-up boot, as well as a solid black above-ankle boot.

Celebrity Stylist June Ambrose was seen rocking a pair of the Skate Moss booties at the Rebecca Minkoff runway show back in September. Would you rock these unique boots?

Cameron Diaz Gets Graphic in Burak Uyan

Cameron Diaz walked the blue carpet of the Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles on Sunday night for the 2011 Teen Choice Awards.

The 38 year-old actress wore a dull beige strapless mini by ALC and strappy heels from Burak Uyan. Cameron’s dress and hair were so similar she was just one bland shade head to toe.

Diaz’s fashion pick wasn’t stellar but she proved worthy of the not-really-just-teenagers vote and nabbed a surfboard for Choice Movie Actress Comedy for her role in Bad Teacher.
