Photography by Vinnie Merlot

Karen is an entrepreneur extraordinaire (she founded Purple Lab), a super sweet girl to have as a friend and the greatest shoe snob EVER!! Not only does she have the craziest collection, she gets them professionally photographed (some of you might recognize Carrie Bradshaw’s front door steps in some of these). OK, now that is true love!! For that, she is crowned our Shoe Snob of the Week. She has the sickest collection of a true collector – practical does not come to mind when perusing her shoe closet so as a spectator, it is spectacularly satisfying.
