It means that something is so great, you'd be willing to die to get it. It's good enough to die for.
Those Christian Louboutin shoes are to die for. (The phrase is used instead of "fantastic" or "gorgeous". It's like a three-word adjective term instead of a single adjective.)

Once upon a time, a noble idea was referred to as being something one would die for. Today, it merely means something that is very desirable and most often is used in the context of food (the mango gelato was to die for) or fashion (her shoes were to die for). No more nobility!

This euphemism is usually exchanged between females, and indicates a desire for something they want really bad, or can't have.
Examples would be "Those shoes at the store are to die for!", or, "That outfit is to die for!".
