Saks Fifth Avenue

When shoe-designer-to-the-stars Giuseppe Zanotti turned up at Manhattan’s Saks Fifth Avenue on Friday afternoon, he wasn’t the only famous face to surprise shoppers. Gossip Girl’s Blake Lively took a break from shooting her hit series to meet the man and chat fall shoes. Blake, who sports Zanotti both on-set and on the red carpet, instantly impressed the designer. “Blake Lively is a true Giuseppe Zanotti woman,” the designer tells PEOPLE. “The Giuseppe Zanotti woman loves fashion and enjoys being up-to-date. She is self-confident and has a strong personality.” He continues, “She told me that she creates her own style; I think that makes her authentic and special.” One key to Blake’s much-coveted style? Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, of course! The actress spent most of the afternoon trying on pair after pair — and even left with a pair of boots signed by the designer himself. But even if you weren’t lucky enough to get a personal shopping experience with Giuseppe Zanotti, the designer did share his top fall shoe tips that he says will refresh any look: thigh-high boots and open-toe booties.

Looks like Lindsay isn’t the only Lohan working as a designer these days. Just days after her daughter’s Paris runway debut as Ungaro’s artistic advisor, Dina Lohan has announced she will be launching a shoe line, appropriately named “Shoe-Han”, for Long Island based chain store LoveMyShoes.com. And that’s not all, the former E! reality star will also take on the role as national spokesmodel for the retailer appearing later this month on television and radio commercials. Dina’s “Shoe-Han” will be out in time for Mother’s Day 2010. Tell us: Will you buy Dina Lohan’s “Shoe-Han” line?

When we first learned that Jimmy Choo was set to create a lower-priced line for H&M, we couldn’t wait to see the results. And now, we finally have a closer look at what will be hitting stores this November. The luxury shoe brand has expanded into clothing for its H&M collaboration, and one key piece will be this black sequined cardigan, $129. But don’t think they forget the accessories! We are especially loving the rocker-chic Claire black bag with diamond star, $99, and the bright pink plastic Kase bag, $60 — the perfect way to add a pop to your fall wardrobe. We can hardly wait to see the rest of the collection, prices ranging from $30-$299, which will hit H&M stores on Saturday, November 14.Tell us: Will you wait in line for the Jimmy Choo for H&M collection?

Even in the middle of a star-studded Fashion Week party, Ciara still knows how to stand out. Her super-sexy, over-the-knee boots by Christian Louboutin combine towering heels with sultry suede and dramatic cut-outs. With a white tee and black skinnies, the look is bold yet pulled-together, but still a whole lot of look for those of us who don’t have the singer’s model-esque proportions or innate style swagger. Tell us: Would you wear boots like Ciara? Or is this style best left to celebs? – Emmy Parsons
