What woman doesn't like that? Shoes with sky-high heels and platforms can also do a great job at making you appear slimmer and taller. The only thing that you have to worry about is being able to walk in the shoes. One word of advice: before wearing these types of shoes out in public, be sure to wear them around the house and get used to walking in them.

When looking to follow this runway fashion trend, look for shoes that are interesting and don't look like anything you have seen before.

Also, accents like bows, zippers, studs, and fringe are another aspect to look for in funky shoes. The more interesting and intriguing the shoes are, the better.

Funky shoes can be worn with just about any outfit. They can peak out of a pair of jeans or add total drama when paired with a short dress. A pair of interesting shoes can take you through the whole summer and even into fall.

You really want one or two key pieces that pop and make people take notice. If you wear too many big jewelry pieces, you may just get lost in them and that is not a celebrity fashion trend!

What's hot with celebrities and their handbags right now? Color, color, and more color. For summer all the celebrities are carrying around brightly colored handbags.

Try a brightly colored handbag with a traditional outfit such as jeans and a t-shirt or a plain colored summer dress.

Not only are celebrities going crazy for brightly colored handbags, they are also sporting brightly colored jeans. Yes, I said brightly colored jeans. Jeans that are pink, purple and green are a hit among trendy celebrities. Rihanna was seen sporting neon pink jeans with a black top and she is not alone. Victoria Beckham, Fergie, Cameron Diaz and Hilary Duff also like to wear brightly colored jeans. Now, this is not a trend for all. To wear brightly colored jeans you have to be a size 2 or smaller, and you have to know how to pull it off so that you do not look like you just came in a time machine from the '80s. Not everyone can pull off neon pink, skinny jeans and still look trendy. In fact, this celebrity trend may be one to just keep to the celebrities.
