Every girls needs sexy black shoes - 31/01/2009

Many women who watched Sex and the City: The Movie last spring will have been green with envy at Carrie Bradshaw's bulging wardrobe and ever-expanding shoe collection.

As a result, the film's stylist Patricia Field will have been elevated by some into the position of fashion oracle.

However, Patricia herself has a stylist and the woman who bagged that job is also surely worthy of being taken notice of.

Ceril Campbell is that lucky woman and she has also previously styled Trinny Woodall of Trinny and Susanna fame, Cat Deeley and Zara Phillips.

But when it comes to her recommendations of the five items no woman can afford to be without, Ms Campbell wastes no time in picking out her own choices.

"[It] has to be … a seriously sexy pair of shoes, even if you don't need them they make you feel good," she said in an interview with online resource Shunews.

And she added that in these credit crunched times, girls should also make sure they own or invest in any long-lasting classics that can be readily adapted to meet the seasonal trends - such as a little black dress, a "great fitting" pair of jeans, a classic white shirt and a versatile coat or jacket.

When it came to her own stylist secrets, Ms Campbell said she creates "the best possible silhouette under an outfit with perfectly fitting lingerie, sexy scaffolding and clever solutions such as backless bras and sexy shape wear".

She went on to note that her dream client would be Jennifer Lopez as she would love to style a girl with a curvaceous body who was proud of her figure as it was more rewarding than working with someone who was trying to be a size zero.

In line with this, Ms Campbell explained that the biggest fashion mistake she believed a woman could make was not perceiving herself as others saw her.

But where can girls go to pick out those "seriously sexy" shoes she suggested.

Well Barratts Shoes might be one stop, particularly now the store has a whole selection of new arrivals for 2009 in stock.

This includes gorgeous footwear by designers including Black Gardenia and Dolcis.
