Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring 2011
Marc Marc Marc. Stop teasing me with your mixed signals. Is it a sneaker? Is it a pump? Is it a saddle shoe? I don’t underst- wait- it’s.. both? (my world crumbles). Very rarely have I seen sneaker-pump hybrids that I enjoy. I usually only see combos like these on the scary parts of town [...]
YSL Palais Fringed-Trim Suede Pumps
I am absolutely smitten with these shoes. Smitten, I tell you. Ever since I saw these on the Fall 2010 runway, I have been waiting with bated breath for them to arrive in stores. And they’re finally here! First, the facts: the heel measures about 6 inches with a 1 inch curved platform; the round [...]
Which Organ Would You Give To Have A Louboutin Shoe Named After You?
Ladies and gentlemen I give you- The Blake. Yes, I am talking about Blake Lively. The shoe is as gorgeous as she is and will make you tall, blonde, willowy and best friends with Anna Wintour. Just kidding. But it can’t hurt. This little gem was discovered by Blake herself while she was in Paris [...]
Snob Quiz: Guess The Designer!
From Fendi to D&G, high-high, multi-layered, multi-colored, multi-textured platforms were all over the Milan runways! You can get this look now with these glossy-leather boots. They’ve got quite the heel – 5.5 inches with a 2 inch platform finished with metal-trimmed detail. Can you guess who designed these sky high babies? Jump for the answer, [...]
Versace Spring 2011 Shoes
The big, almost starling, news for spring? The platforms of seasons past has disappeared! Yes, you heard right. No more of those outlandish, glitzy platforms that looked more at home on the Jersey Shore boardwalk than sailing on Lake Como. Good riddance! That doesn’t mean that Donatella’s dumbed herself down when it comes to sky-high [...]
Alberto Guardiani Fall 2010
Made in Italy and designed by Italian stylist Alberto Guardiani, the Alberto Guardiani Fall 2010 line consists of five capsule collections. The brand makes shoes for men and kids as well and they control the process from start-to-finish – including the finishing atélier where everything is hand-made. Clearly the brand takes the artisan quality of [...]
Emilio Pucci Spring 2011
Ladies, make room in your shoe closets: Pucci heels are a comin’. Peter Dundas has been, season after season, building a better Pucci and what better brand extension to complement his smokin’ hot designs than some equally covetable stem wear? Right off the bat there was a sexy, above-the-knee suede lace-up boot whose laces traced [...]
Roger Vivier “1000 Brides” Satin Sandal
I never met a neon strip of leather I didn’t like. So you can imagine how I gravitated towards these Roger Vivier sandals upon spying them in the showroom. Neon green strips of leather surround the core of the foot like a cage, flanked by black leather toe and ankle strap while the base is [...]
Prada Spring 2011 Shoes
Before I go any further, can I just wax poetic on how HOT Miuccia’s take on the classic men’s wingtips are? Like, seriously, OMG! I wish Prada did a men’s version of these for me to attempt to wear. While I don’t need any extra height (I’m 6’1), I do think my guy friends who [...]
Mechante of London at Elizabeth Emanuel Spring 2011 LFW Show
After doing the shoes for the William Tempest show my friend Deborah Lyons jetted off to London for London Fashion Week where some of her latest designs were featured on the Elizabeth Emanuel runway (Emanuel, you might recall, is the designer responsible for Princess Diana’s legendary wedding dress). This season Emanuel’s collection was titled “Little [...]
