BCBGeneration Women's Devon Sandal $109.95

Lady Gaga is one of those artists that you either love or hate. From her tunes and edgy fashion to her facial expressions and hair, some people can’t get enough of her while others are wishing the “Lady in Red” would have made more of a presence! Either way, I find her fashion and style intriguing and I thought it was worthwhile to take a look. As you can see below, it seems as though she loves to wear white, black and gold, and I’ve even chosen some ShoeMall styles that could easily slide right into this lady’s closet!

First on the list is the BCBGeneration Women’s Devon Sandal that retails for $109.95 on ShoeMall. Like Lady Gaga or not, this shoe is hot! The platform and 4 inch heel is just the shoe she is looking for to add to her collection!

Baby Phat Women's Jenna Pump $79.95

Second on my list of Lady Gaga picks is the Baby Phat Women’s Jenna Pump that retails for $79.95 at ShoeMall. I think secretly Kimora Lee Simmons had Gaga in mind when she designed these! What do you think? White and gold, two of her (seems to be) favorite colors!

Last but not least today on my Gaga picks is the Naughty Monkey Women’s Me O My Pump that retails for $69.95 at ShoeMall. We all know that Sarah Palin rocked the Naughty Monkey shoe brand, is Gaga going to go for it with this style?

Naughty Monkey Women's Me O My Pump $69.95

According to my books, this pump is a sure fit! In case you and/or Gaga wants to add a little color to your wardrobe it is available in yellow and blue as well.

Now to see what we’ve all been waiting for! Lady Gaga herself in three rather stunning fashion sets! The first is a one-shoulder black dress with gold geometrical shapes sticking out from it (this is not the first time!), if only we could see her shoes here, bummer! The second one she has on is a soft gold-colored 1920s style fringe dress with a matching headband… and check out those shoes! WOW! The third outfit is what she just wore to the 2009 MTV Music Awards this past September where she performed paparazzi live – and what a performance that was! From the mardi gras face mask to the big victorian hat, this lady has it going on here! So… what do you think? To love or to hate?

Other people have already done a lot of the work and made predictions on fashion and trends for 2010, here are their takes on it all:

1) The Budget Babe has some pretty good predictions for 2010, and two that I especially like are: Isaac returning to Target and mobile coupons catching on with new apps in a “big, big way”.

2) Fashionising.com talks about Spring and Summer Fashion Trends, and who doesn’t want to think about all the beautiful warm weather wear during this cold month?!

3) Splendicity.com has compiled Esquire’s 2010 Style Resolutions for the men in your life, there are some pretty good tips here!

4) Find the colors of Spring/Summer 2010 at FashionTrendsetter.com What are your favorites? I really like the salmon pinks, turquoises and purples! Very pretty!

…and last but not least

5) Refinery29.com brings all their knowledge with their predictions of style and trends into 2010 from the color turquoise (I said I liked it above, maybe I am headed in the right direction!) to long skirts, sheer shirts, clogs, and lower heels! Read along… there is plenty to talk about in this post!

The long awaited time will soon be coming to an end. New Moon comes out in theaters one week from today. It will be showing at 12:00am Friday, November 20, and you can only bet that if ticket offices aren’t already sold out they will be sold out very soon!

Naughty Monkey Hands Down $74.95

I like Kristen’s fashion style here much better than her Proenza Schouler she wore to the London premiere. This is very simple and put together paired with a hot pair of dark red pumps similar to the Naughty Monkey Hands Down pump that retails for $74.95.

Head to the box office right away if you can’t wait to see New Moon!

The Fall 2009 special Fashion & Beauty issue of all you magazine came out with lots of great “Look and Feel Your Best for less” tips, and ShoeMall was included on several pages.

Bandolino Shuga

On pages 16 and 17 you will find the Easy Street Hello for $44.95 and the Madeline Yazz for $19.99. These metallics will go with everything this season from a skirt to dress pants or even jeans.

You will find the Bandolino Shuga for $39.99 on page 34. With a heel height like this you might be asking yourself if you could even wear these or if they would even be comfortable or not. One glance at this shoe’s reviews, and you will quickly see how satisfied these happy shoe owners are!  

Moda Spana Oblique

One of my absolute favorites is the Moda Spana Oblique found on page 36 for $39.99. This color is going to be at the top of the list this season!

On page 38 you will also find a ShoeMall shoe, the Naturalizer Whistler for $69.95. It is hard to go wrong with Naturalizer shoes because they are such a trusted brand, and have definitely taken trend up a notch the last couple seasons.

That’s all for this issue, and many more to come! Which one is your favorite? I’ve already told you mine!
