Ruthie Davis Spike Booties
A few weeks ago I went to an event at the Fenton/Fallon store and immediately upon entering my eyes caught wind of to these absurdly fabulous shoes from Ruthie Davis ($1,395)! I mean how could they not draw your attention?? In addition to jewelery, the Fenton/Fallon boutique in NYC stocks a carefully curated selection of [...]
Brian Atwood to Launch “B Brian Atwood” Contemporary Line
A big, hearty congrats to my friend Brian Atwood! Jones Apparel Group Inc., the fashion conglomerate with stakes in brands like Stuart Weitzman, Robert Rodriguez and Rachel Roy, has signed Atwood to a licensing deal to–get this–where it will manufacture, market and distribute a contemporary brand called B Brian Atwood. Hoping to capitalize on Atwood’s [...]
Stella McCartney Lace-Covered Pumps
The photograph on NAP of these Lace-covered pumps ($645) from Stella McCartney makes it look like the heels are only 3-inches or so, but they’re actually the perfect 4.5-inch-going-out-high-heel (at least for me!). It’s not that I can’t walk in 5-inch-plus, I just don’t want to! I’m nearly 5’6″ and there’s nothing I hate more [...]
Brian Atwood Harrison Chain Leather Pumps
Brian Atwood knows about sexy probably because he is the sexiest man alive. I am not exaggerating or being subjective – it is simple fact. And these laced up pumps are nothing if they are not meant to evoke hotness and sex. A nun could wear these and be hot (or is that sacrilegious to [...]
Missoni for Converse Chuck Taylor All Star
It’s nice to see that, for its sophomore effort, Converse went in a darker direction in its collaboration with Missoni for Converse Chuck Taylor All Star shoes. The updated versions of the classic shoe feature black and white space dyed knits (in horizontal stripes and iconic zigzag) covering the sides and toecap, finished off with [...]
Gap Design Editions x Pierre Hardy Wedge Bootie
A fabulous wardrobe staple to own, this Pierre Hardy x Gap Design Editions peep-toe wedge fits the bill in all the right areas–and in particularly in price. A mix of that tough girl, city vibe coupled with refinement–check out that gorgeous wedge heel–it’s guaranteed to be a fail safe this fall. Available in just black [...]
80%20 Molly Classic Canvas Open Toe Hidden Wedge
I first noticed 80%20 shoes when shopping the sale section at Intermix a few weeks ago. They had a few pairs of sandals marked down to only $50-something and I couldn’t decide whether they were snob or slob. I ended-up deciding that I have too many shoes to buy something – no matter the price [...]
Donna Karan Collection Satin Strap Sandal
If ever there was a shoe that perfectly encapsulated this fall’s return to a pure and minimal aesthetic, it would be this Donna Karan satin strap sandal. While most would translate minimal to be free of straps, weaves and breaks in line, I have two words: think again. The intricately woven tubular black satin straps [...]
Camilla Skovgaard Saw Plateau Leather Pumps
When it comes to luxury shoes, it’s hard to beat the price of the Camilla Skovgaard Saw Plateau Leather Pumps ($500). Simple, yet eye-catching thanks to the designer’s signature rubber saw plateau, the pumps are utterly sexy with their 5-inch heel, and the sand color will transition well from summer to fall. I’ve always found [...]
Elizabeth and James Haircalf Platform Pumps
I love that we no longer have to hide our platforms on our shoes, I mean the hidden platform styles are actually not so hidden so we were never really fooling anyone but ourselves! So, love it or leave it, platforms are front and center this season! The new exposed platform pump looked awkward to [...]
