It's a big day for the citizens of Panem (and all of us people here in the real world). For those of us who rabidly follow anything and everything related to the book series turned film franchise, The Hunger Games, we have much to celebrate as the Capitol Couture fashion site is ZOMG FINALLY LIVE! This is mayjah news, and not just for fans of the book and the upcoming film, but for anyone interested in marketing. Turning the out-there, post-apocalyptic fashion that is so integral to the story of The Hunger Games into a real, living/breathing Tumblr street style site is a work of genius. With one click, you've entered the world of the film and are rewarded with a profile on "Capitol-born style icon" Effie Trinket, aka Elizabeth Banks in all her pink-pastel Chinoiserie gloriousness. And beyond that, we're treated to nail art tips, street style shots of shoes (including TO DIE gold "vintage" Alexander McQueen heeled booties), and some sort of contest involving District Stylists. Holy Mockingjay, people, we are SO INTO THIS.

Shailene Woodley, Solange Knowles, and Kelly Osbourne all pulled out some eyebrow-raising footwear decisions this week, and we're using this week's Shoe Update to shed some light on them. We've definitely heard of people making fashion statements at red carpet events (*cough* meat dress *cough* egg arrival), but this is a breed of shock factor we're not as familiar with. We're talking about the style choices that aren't necessarily as outrageous as Lady Gaga's awards show theatrics but are shocking enough to drop a jaw or two. I'ts a mysterious purgatorial category, so let's dissect these three ladies and their shoes a little furthur.

Looks like the lovely ladies of NBC aren't just repping their shows on this year's TCA Winter Press Tour. Fashion Star's Jessica Simpson, new Social Media Correspondent for The Voice Christina Milian, and Rashida Jones of Parks and Rec turned it out with stellar shoe game for the NBC Universal All-Star party. As sleeping bag coats become more prevalent, footwear choices tend to grow more sensible, more weather-appropriate, more zzzzzz, but not for these ladies. Jessica, Christina, and Rashida say buck convention, serving up some of the wildest pairs of heels this side of Lady Gaga!

Sneakerhead Nail Art Matches Tips To Tennis Shoes

Last time we dove into the world of cray cray nail art, we got a tiny peek into the lives of lady sneakerheads who match their decked out nails to their even more amazing shoes. From the colors to the patterns to even the logo, these girls SERIOUSLY nailed it (and judging by the reaction over the new Air Jordans, sneakerheads don't mess around). But, hey, we're busybodies! We need to know MOAR. We had absolutely no problem searching the internetz for hours for our favorite sneaker-inspired designs, and our first find was some KILLER hot pink, black, and neon green Air Jordan 1 Phat sneakers. Whew, we need to get our hands on these! Eileen over at The Sneakerette used Essie Mod Squad, Wet n Wild French White Creme, China Glaze Electric Pineapple, and CM Nail Art in Black to create this neon French mani with a pebbled accent finger. We love how the white tips with the pink emulate the white sole paired with the shiny patent leather, and the accent from the inside of the shoe on her ring finger is just PERFECT. Jealz.

Dragon Tattoo star Rooney Mara, music man Will.i.am, and ex-Hillsie Stephanie Pratt help us ring in the SHOE year (har har har *sarcastic knee slap*) with their exemplary footwear for this very special first 2012 installment of the Shoe Update.

Antsy for the holidays? Celebrations already in full swing (heyyyy Hanukkah!)? Yea. Us, too. And it looks like a few celebs can't hold it in any longer either. Whitney Port, X Factor UK's Misha B, and Chloe Sevigny were all spotted sporting festive kicks from glitter to bows to the bright holly red. So you may not have the no-ceiling budget of a celeb (let alone after the gift-giving season), but you can totally take these shoe trends and apply as they fit your wallet for all your merry-making needs.

We Wish We Could Afford These Chanel, Isabel Marant, And Alexander Wang Sneakers

Spring 2012 is shaping up to be the season of the sneaker. We noticed a distinct sneaker trend emerging from the runway collections, but more important, we've been noticing them out on the streets more. We're not talking regular ol' sneaks you toss on with your jeans, either. We've spied ladies in full-on ready-to-be-pap'd outfits tossing a fluoro trainer up in the mix in anticipation for what's sure to come in the warmer months. Just to solidify that this is most definitely a trend, Chanel debuted items from its spring collection in Madrid recently, and the folks at Neo2 magazine snapped a photo of what are, quite possibly, the most killer pair of designer high-top sneakers we could ever want but probably never afford. See those neon puppies up there? Yeah, they're GAHMAZING and all that, but what are these beauties going to do to the proverbial wallet? We shudder to think; in fact, this Chanel high-top conundrum got us thinking about all of the other insane designer sneaks we long for come spring—namely Isabel Marant wedge sneaks and Alexander Wang trainers.

Khloe Kardashian, Elle Fanning, And Gwen Stefani Step Out In This Week's Best Shoes

Holiday gift-giving season is a whole different beast of anxiety-making for me. It's not that I leer at the thought of swiping my card for the sake of others. In fact, the exact opposite is true. And there's such heart-palpitating fulfillment that comes, for me, with finding the perfect gift for someone that I almost wish it came around more often. That is... Except for the bank account gobbling Pandora's box it opens as I up my visitation to brick and mortars and ecommerce sites, like, eleven-fold. You see, coupled with a job in which I stare and maaaarinate on clothes and jewelry and makeup all day, 'tis the season that I wake up in a cold sweat every night from my quaking bloodlust for so many OBJECTS. And nothing in this world can thwart my gifting focus quite like a truly incredible pair of shoes. This week, Khloe Kardashian, Elle Fanning, and Gwen Stefani stepped out in the most deliciously covetable footwear, and there may or may not have been a casualty on my holiday shopping list as a result (sorry, Mom).

Forget trimming the tree. This week was all about decking out your FEET. With a mix of textures and heavy-handed doses of sparkle and shine, Whitney Port, Willow Smith, and Jessica Alba turned it out with some of the most dazzling displays of footwear of this past week. Due to the unseasonably warm weather we've been lucky enough to experience lately (haaayyy, bare-legged December!), these ladies' tootsies are clad in the gamut of shoe silhouettes from peep toes to combat boots but all unified in their unabashed ornamentation.

Ahh, November. Hasn't it been great? Almost too great.... Honestly, y'all, it's been unseasonably warm, and I'm just the teensiest bit afraid it's lulling us into a false sense of security (as far as foot and ankle safety is concerned, anyhow). In this week of what has primarily been leisure time, accompanied by breezy cool temps and little to no precipitation, the past few days have been a kind of perfect storm for outrageous footwear, chief among them being this week's selects of the following consistently well-heeled boundary pushers: Anna dello Russo, Lady Gaga, and Susie Bubble.
