Top 10 Reds
Once a year, all that is pink seems to turn red. From your nails to your shoes, this Holiday hue seems to be everywhere. And thankfully so, as nothing sparks up a girl's look like a splash of red. For those of you who haven't worn Revlon's Rich Girl Red year-round and want to join the frenzy, here's a short cut to the hot list of which red will wow.

1) Top Red Nail Polish for Fingers and Toes: Essie Jelly Apple with two coats. Other top contenders include Revlon Red and OPI's Big Apple Red.
2) Top Red Lipstick. There really are so many from which to choose. Actually, Shop Girl and she she me have been carefully analyzing the marketplace on the matter since Halloween and have come up with the following fave list:

• Bobbi Brown - Scarlet (for a blue-tone red) and Burnt Red (for a more orange-ish tint)
• Lola Cosmetics Creme Lipstick in Pandora is so 1950"s screen siren. And if that isn't reason enough to add it to your collection, you simply will adore the chic red tube.
• Tarte's Lipstick in Chianti. A true red that looks great on all skin types.

3) Top Red Super Moist, you-must-kiss-me-now Lip Gloss. MAC's lip glass cannot be beat. Get thee to your local department store and try on V Red, Relay Race and Succulent. Delux Beauty's Lip Gloss in Gus is a close second. The deep red shine is perfect for day, and the wand applicator makes quick, rearview mirror touch-ups a cinch.
4) Top Red Sheer Lip Balm for Everyday or on the Slopes. Kiehl's SPF lip balm in hue #58B is a must-have for any "I want to look natural" type of girl.
5) Top Red Panty. Shopgirl remains a loyal eberjey fan. Comfortable and saucy!
6) Top Red PJ. We love the PJs from Bedhead. Made of the softest, yummiest Egyptian cotton, these are the only PJs suitable for a she she girl on her odd night 'in'. The red dots will give you your token red, but we must draw your attention to the green stripe, the pink seersucker and the Lavender Polka Dot.
7) Top Red Flat. Nine West Lily shoe. We love the Jackie O' ness of the square toe. The perfect addition to your jeans or micro mini. (A very close second is Marc Jacobs red velvet flat.)
8) Top Red Party Shoe. As far as bang for the buck, you can't go wrong with Isaac's red party pumps. They're sure to make any black dress a stunner.
9) Top Red Cocktail Clutch. Actually, this year's red clutch is green. Can you imagine anything more fabulous?
10) Top Red Cocktail. The Poinsettia, a festive alternative to a Mimosa. Your guests will love this fresh toddi.

And there you have it. Now, go paint the town (and your nails and lips) in the color of the season. We'll see you back in the pink come January.

Saturday Shoe Shopping just got a little brighter as Raleigh girls can forget about ever leaving town to findgreat shoes. With the opening of Soho Shoes at Crabtree Valley Mall, sleek shoes and stylish accessories are only a short car ride away. The' newest store is urban in feel,with its white-hot interior and sophisticated offerings. And by offerings I mean the hippest around. Soho Shoes boasts styles from Marc Jacobs, the much publicized Hollywould, Pucci, Irregular Choice London (an up andcoming fave), Camper, UGG, Jeffery Campbell, Charles David and Calvin Klein and handbags from Un Apres Midi de Chien and Love Cat Paris. Their list sort of reads like a who's who of the fashion elite. It's enough to drive one into a card-maxing frenzy.

Whether you're still looking for that last minute cocktail shoe or ready to get a jump start on spring styles (am dying for the Marc Jacobs silver flats with rhinestone detail pictured above), Soho Shoes will have exactly what you want. You'll find unique handbags, gifts for friends (who wouldn't want a yummy Tocca Candle?), and even fashion forward shoes for the sneaker-clad man in your life. And this spring, Soho Shoes is adding clothing to their repertoire. I'm willing to bet that like their selection of shoes, their apparel will be some of the most stylish in the area.

Soho Shoes has two locations in the Triangle: Crabtree Valley Mall, 4325 Glenwood Ave., Raleigh, NC (919.881.9055) and The Streets of Southpoint, 6910 Fayetteville Rd., Durham, NC (919.806.1391). If you're not able to stop by one of their great shops, you can place orders over the phone. The fashionable owner and her knowledgeable staff are ready and willing to ensure that your feet are properly outfitted.
