I was so impressed with the comfort level, price and look of these 8-hour wedge heels that I went back and bought a second pair. They are a dream! The elasticized top is extremely soft, forgiving to both wide and narrow feet, and bunion-friendly. Their two inch, imitation cork wedge heel gives you a current fashion look, and height if you need it. I’ve put them through their paces (many 8-hour shopping days with clients) without a blister in sight. Unless you need arch support, these shoes are worth a try.

They’re perfect with jeans, shorts and casual skirts/dresses. Kick the look up a notch by painting your toenails a fun colour. What’s not to love for $49.95.

Lia Bijou wedge heels are available in an assortment of colours. I’ve only seen them at Nordstrom.

Of course they can. Nicole Kidman was breathtaking wearing red in “Moulin Rouge” and more recently in her flaming red couture gown at the Oscars. Redheads like Cate Blanchett and Julianne Moore often wear red and look absolutely sensational. 

In reality ”red” hair is more orange than red and these two colours (red and orange) work beautifully together. It’s much like mixing red and orange tulips in the same vase, (one of my favourite floral combinations). Redheads are not created equally. It’s a question of finding the shade that compliments your red hair in the best possible way. It is also a matter of individual taste. I personally love the striking effect of redheads in bright red.

There’s no getting away from the fact that this is an incredibly eye-catching combination. So if you’re a redhead and you love red, wear it with conviction and expect to be noticed.
