Lily Kwong… Jason Wu Braided Heels

With just two months remaining for warm weather dressing in Chicago, here’s the perfect look to try before the first snowflakes hit the sidewalks.

Take a page from Vogue-regular Lily Kwong’s style book (those are her fantastic Jason Wu shoes) and rock open-toed leather ankle boots with a vixen red pedicure. It might be the most classic combination, but voilà – you’ve added a dash of major sex appeal to any look. Red toenails and black leather heels bring a universal ‘oomph’ to every outfit, whether you’ve gone everyday casual with boyfriend jeans, or dressed to stun in a siren red dress (also Jason Wu) à la Ms. Kwong.

If you’re looking for polish suggestions, these are the reds in my manicure rotation:

1.Essie, Fishnet Stockings – $8.50

2. Deborah Lippmann, Lady is a Tramp – $16.99

3. O.P.I., An Affair in Red Square – $7.59

A good red is hard to find. It should be noted the names are no coincidence, my dears…
