Much of the US is experiencing the same 'Day After Tomorrow' style weather events we've been battling with for weeks back in Blighty, and Rachel Bilson is leading the way in Weather Warning Chic. Striding out in her croc-effect, Jimmy Choo wellington boots, she certainly knows how to dress for a deluge.
Bad news for anyone who wants to snap up a pair: the much-coveted boots are sold out pretty much everywhere. A combination of lousy weather, the magic touch of Choo and a reasonable price tag have seen demands skyrocket. But we've found a pair of the even rarer grey version, as worn by Bilson here on Ebay in a UK size 4, with a buy-it-now price of £428. That's already more than the cost of the £235 sold-out boots on Net-a-Porter...

When Alexander McQueen introduced his crazy 'lobster' style shoes at last season's fashion weeks, a lot of us wondered who'd be brave enough to wear them.
A few style (and attention) loving celebs have now stepped in to try out the shoes, and we've had no reports of injuries yet. Lady Gaga's known to have a pair, and the latest convert is Kelis, who rocked up at the first annual Data Awards (a ceremony in LA for dance DJs and producers) wearing the McQueen footwear and a sort of scaled body suit that left little to the imagination. We've all had enough of nautical now...but is fashion really going to be taking us UNDER the sea next season?
Everyone seems to want to talk about the Sugababes' sense of style, and with each new public appearance, their wardrobe decisions come under scrutiny once again. Was there a single household in the UK not discussing the wisdom of each Babe's choice of dress on Top of the Pops at Christmas, for example?
So it made a welcome change to hear the girls themselves talking fashion to our sister site, OSO You. Check out the full interview here to find out who the girls consider to be their style icons, what's in their handbags and which designer's shoes are rocking their worlds right now.
'Ello ello ello...what's going on 'ere? Celeb favourite Sam Edelman's latest offering (it's the one on the left, in case you were wondering) looks mighty like a certain design by Nicholas Kirkwood. I've no idea if they two design heavyweights are friends, but there's certainly a degree of 'homage' going on here that I suspect a lot of high street labels would not get away with!
If you like this particular style which (admittedly) is a little more muted than the Kirkwood shoe as well as being more suitable for winter wear, it's a fair bit cheaper too, so could suit a Kirkwood fan without the funds. £152 at My-Wardrobe

After reading Red Carpet Fashion Blog's post about Christine Centenera, Harper's Bazaar Australia's uber-stylish fashion editor, my eyes were immediately drawn to her shoes. Captured by StockholmStreetStyle, the Aussie looked fab in a pair of powder blue Givenchy studded zip sandals which she teamed with a grey marl ensemble. Now you too can get your hands on these eye-catching Givenchy sandals for €1125 at Luisa Via Roma.
Okay, so she's not exactly the first person who springs to mind when thinking about wedding shoes. However, I must say that Paris Hilton hasn't done too badly here.
Consisting of just four styles (and a lot of bows) the socialite is expanding her footwear line to bridal. They aren't exactly amazing, but for a decently designed shoe with a girlie edge you can't overlook a couple of her designs for $120 a pop.
My favourite would have to be the Regal ivory peep-toe shoe (pictured) with pleat detailing and satin bow. The range is due to launch this month - visit My Glass Slipper to pre-order yours now.
It isn't too much of a surprise but one of the first celebs to sport a pair of Alexander McQueen's crazy S/S 2010 shoes is Lady Gaga.
The always-dramatic popstrel dons a pair of the 10-inch monsters in the new music video for Bad Romance. As I said, it doesn't come as a total shock considering Gaga collaborated with the designer on his Paris show, providing the catwalk track which ultimately sent McQueen's live stream into chaos after her fans crashed SHOWstudio.com.
(Catch Gaga's video after the jump...)
But it was one of "our" own scenesters who was brave enough to wear the shoes in public... and on the red carpet no less!
