Hollywood costume designer Louise Mengenbach, the fabulous Hollywood costume designer (X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Starsky & Hutch, etc.) insists that shoes, like lamps, should always be your wild card. Louise probably hobbles around everywhere on 5-inch stilettos and owns not a single pair of sensible shoes, but I see her point. No matter how predictable the rest of your outfit (or home décor), a pair of shoes (or lamps) that flies off the style charts will elevate the whole look in an instant. Exhibit A: Beyonce Knowles working Louis Vuitton’s new Spicy sandal/stiletto.

Are you loving these shoes like I am? How would you make them work?

Oh, and don’t forget to check out Beyonce in the movie, Obsessed, which is currently at the box office right now.

Lots of love,
Loren
