Alexandre Birman Dip-Front Wedge Ankle Boots

I bought my first pair of Alexandre Birman shoes a couple of years ago (when he was WAY under the radar) and I paid around $500 for a pair of python platform shoes– they were cute but nothing to write home about.  I thought he’d focus on well priced exotic items without giving much attention [...]

Jeffrey Campbell Shaman Wedge Sandals

Can you believe my husband actually found these for me? Well, he showed me the Need Supply website to reference some technology thing and I immediately stopped listening to him because I was so focused on ordering these. I love high but my back needs flats, the wedge + platform combo gives me the height [...]

Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte Bootie

I saw this pair of booties by Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte at Barneys before I left for my monthlong trip to Asia and there was no doubt that I had to have them. They are so insanely fabulous that I completely forgot about my bad back.  I mean, just the pleasure of looking at them [...]

Miu Miu Forma Cutout Sandals

As Shoe Snob Sasha pointed out Miu Miu’s shoes have been rockin’ lately. Loving how much attention these Forma cutout sandals ($750) demand! I can just imagine myself wearing them on one of those days where I need to look put together and fashionable, but don’t have the mental engergy to put together an interesting [...]

Counterfeit Shoes Alert!

There is nothing worse than cheap shoes. I sound like a broken record but after my back injury I am more careful than ever when choosing my shoes. I am currently on a daily Birkenstock regime (as prescribed by my Chiro) but in the evenings I’ve been wearing my regular shoes. I am finding that [...]

Candela Studded Punk Flats

Flashback to 1984 and you’d see me in these studded punk flats (but mine were from Mia!).  Truth be told, flats with stiff soles hurt me more than heels so I shouldn’t buy these but I am so tempted to just for old time’s sake!  Anyone who grew up in the 80s will agree with [...]
