Laurence Dacade Orice Sandals

I bought the Laurence Dacade Orice Sandals on sale in both of the above colorways. I should have known better than to buy shoes marked down to $109 when the original price was $570! Luckily Forward by Revolve has the most accommodating return policy, because I could not walk more than two seconds in these [...]

Tom Ford Moccasins

I’ve been itching to try a pair of moccasins for as long as I can remember, and this pair from Tom Ford may finally be what drives me to take the plunge. Tom hosted an intimate preview of his Spring 2011 men’s accessories during men’s Milan Fashion Week and I fell in love with this [...]

Charlotte Olympia Dolly canvas pumps

It’s not entirely fair to compare these Charlotte Olympia Dolly Canvas Pumps ($715) to the Michael by Michael Kors Dermott ones I wrote about yesterday, because these are nearly 8 times the price after taxes! That said, the similarities are striking despite the obviously more luxurious look of the ones from Charlotte Olympia. The gold [...]

Kristen Stewart in Christian Louboutin

I may not have bowled over by Kristen Stewart’s choice of this one-shoulder Elie Saab dress, but I give her two thumbs up for her shoes. At first I wasn’t sure if they were Louboutin; I hadn’t seen that pin-thin a stiletto heel before, but upon closer inspection, they indeed were! Paging Victoria Beckham! They [...]

Lady Gaga’s Michael by Michael Kors Dermott Patent Platforms

Woah…Lady Gaga in shoes that aren’t 12 inches!??? I’m shocked! I have to admit I got a kick out of reading that Lady Gaga became “fashion roadkill” when she ended up on her hands in knees after falling in the airport in absurdly high shoes. Her need for attention – as evidenced by the outfit [...]

Gucci Debra Pump

It’s all about the heel, of course! And this is not just a sculpted heel, this is an architectural jewel. For an outright ladylike look, you will feel like Barbie if she were to get etiquette training from the Queen herself. The gray suede works with everything, the lattice toe is ultra feminine for the [...]

Christian Louboutin Feticha 120 Python Pumps

Have you ever seen anything so exquisite and pristine? Yes, I would check all weather and road conditions before stepping out, in fact, I would save these strictly for valet parking venues, but I cannot begin to express how fabulous you will feel in these. Cinderella has nothing on you! And for python, the price [...]

Versus Metallic Safety Pin Sandals

Paging Elizabeth Hurley! I’m loving these Versus Metallic Safety Pin Sandals! It’s been forever since I’ve bought anything from Versus – in fact the last thing I can recall buying is a pair of red seaweed-inspired sandals that I wore to my High School prom! These sandals are currently marked down about 40% and are [...]

Gypsy Soule Super Nova: Good Taste Need Not Apply

I have been packing for what feels like forever (a week) and finally moving today. I’m in flip flops and sweats because everything I own is in boxes!  I don’t like flip flops as a rule and only wear them to pedicures, pool, beach and maybe very casual backyard bar-b-ques but I would never, ever, [...]

Lace Up Rubber Wellies: Snob or Slob?

I go back and forth between “snob” and “slob” with these See by Chloe Lace-Up Rubber Wellington Boots ($195). Light gray with a touch of fluorescent pink happens to be one of my favorite color combinations (if you’re traveling around Europe this summer, stop by Pinko they have some contemporary-priced finds in this color combo [...]
