Look for SS11: Red Shoes

Fearne Cotton

Red shoes both for smart and casual wear, are all over the feet of celebrities at the moment, and its an easy way to make a simple outfit stand out.  Look how the people in the photos here make their shoes a statement piece - either when wearing jeans and a t shirt or walking down the red carpet.

I absolutely love this look, its  instand glamour and so easy to replicate.  But with red, I would advise not to buy cheaply unless you want to run the risk of looking cheap - you don't need to spend a fortune (unless you have the budget to, if so I am very jealous) but at the same time don't cut corners.  I prefer the "dressed-up" take on this look, and here are a few pairs I have found that I think stand out from the rest:

 ASOS - £35

This pair, above, are great as they aren't too high and so you could wear them both in the evenings and during the day - and are smart enough to wear with a dress-up outfit or with jeans.  Also, from experience ASOS shoes are very durable - and a great 'low price' alternative to high street equivalents...

Nine West - £63

This pair are great for someone who is nervous about going for the bright red colour - they're similar to the pair above that Jessica Alba teamed with her little black dress.

Kurt Geiger at Selfridges - £80

Or, just as a sneaky wish-list item - have a look at these:

Giuseppe Zannotti - £480 

A girl can dream...
