Lace, red and pink are all too predictable for Valentine's Day. Dresses always evoke romance - smolder in a black halter dress with ruffles along the hem (with tights if it's cold out) with black accessories and sparkly jewelry. If you must wear pink on Valentine's Day, or just want to stand out a bit, wear this outfit with Giuseppe Zanotti open-toed snake-embossed pink pumps.

How to wear it: Jean Paul Gaultier short tulle dress, Giuseppe Zanotti snake-embossed pumps, CC Skye glitter hoop earrings, King Baby Studio Black Onyx Ring, Furla black mimosa clutch

This clingy Moschino dress is sexy on its own, but the GF Ferre cropped jacket worn over it draws eyes to the hips and the hip-hugging straight skirt of the dress (and when you take it off inside the restaurant, it will reveal your cleavage). Wear leather and studded hoop earrings and hot pink strappy shoes and carry a classic black clutch for edgy sex appeal.

Is it a bootie or a sandal? It might look like both, but whatever you classify it as, it is one seriously sexy shoe. Giuseppe Zanotti has this sexy rocker version perfect for high-waisted pencil skirt paired with a feminine sheer tie-front blouse and a silk cami underneath.

On the first day of Christmas, I hope my love gives to me... (okay sing it with us) one pair of Giuseppe Zanotti Crystal-encrusted Fish-bone Ornament Sandals. On the second day of Christmas...

'Tis the season... Fall has officially begun and there a few must haves for the season. The color purple is a big hit and looks great on almost every skin tone. Stacked heeled boots that slouch are another sure fire hit that can be paired with jeans tucked in and a funky tee. Espresso was percolating all over the Fall 2008 runways, so do add a dash to your accessory rotation. From the East Coast to the West Coast, sky-high high heel platforms are all the rage, do mix with colored tights and sheath dresses. Every Couturnista needs a dollop of effortless chic thrown in, what better way to do that than with a kid-skin slouch handbag. Who said the oxford could not be a sexy shoe? Clearly, they had not anticipated the stiletto heeled versions for Fall. Look for a smooth, supple leather or a patent leather version to add just enough sex appeal to any look. Cat calls are optional.

Where does one begin? Every starlet in Hollywood these days is either a model/actress, actress/model, actress/designer or actress/singer, no? Or so it would seem. On Wednesday, July 16, the Candie’s brand and Hayden Panettiere took over PerezHilton.com to promote the new Candie’s ad campaign and to um, promote the new single by Ms. Panettiere. Now I am not hating on anyone expressing their talent and/or gifts, but when did it become passe to just be good at one thing? But I digress. The ads feature Hayden rocking a metallic jacket, black jeans and high-heels with a side-lying microphone in hand with her lips apart as though singing, obviously that should have been my first clue as to what lay ahead. The ads and Candie’s logo were all over the site as well as montages of Ms. Panettiere’s face, and low and behold in the middle of that garish pink background was a large video screen window, all set for the reader/viewer to just hit play. On comes island-esque music (reminiscent of another blonde one-hit wonder), the oh-ooo-oh, maybe you need a wake-up call, and lovely images of Hayden, doing the one-handed microphone grasping warbling (more oh ooo oh...) that most starlets do these days. All in all, the song was not that bad, it had a catchy beat and refrain, and as for the outfits, the clothes were cool.

If Couture were to have been consulted on the video we would have made the following suggestions: Moschino metallic bubble hem mini dress with an accompanying D&G Dolce & Gabbana Flat Strap grey belt paired with Moschino Cheap and Chic black retro ankle boots for her strut into the club; John Varvatos for Converse bronze metallic leather bomber jacket (silver and washed gold are so overdone) left open, C’N’C Costume National five-pocket style black skinny jeans, Crystal Rock’s Rockabilly black tee with Giuseppe Zanotti handpainted booties for crooning on stage to the crowd; C’N’C Costume National grey racer back sleeveless elongated tank with iridescent palettes, Just Cavaili grey distressed jeans with Moschino red platform gathered tie-front pumps for the rolling around the floor number; for strutting a la Britney, Studio Gabriella Rocha black satin deep v-neck dress with draped sides worn with DSquared opulent lace, beaded and faux jeweled platform ankle-tie sandal (black wig optional).

Hey, they did not ask Couture, but I thought I should put the style tips out there any way.
