Brian Atwood Greta: Naughty Chic

If Belle de Jour was filmed in 2011, Séverine Serizy would most definitely be wearing a pair of Brian Atwood Greta in patent leather and studs while she walked to her afternoon “job”.  Nude patent is demure and elegant, while the gold studded black leather is wild and sexy– like the double life she led.  [...]

Sergio Rossi Espadrille Boots… Snob or Slob?

Espadrilles are key for summer, boots are key for winter, but where does an espadrille boot fit in?  Perhaps cool summer nights in LA– the land of casual chic but I’m just not feeling these.  I was starting to tire of the open toe bootie anyway and these confirmed my feelings.  I would have liked [...]

Gucci Sigourney Studded Sandal

Gucci does the back zip heel right. They’re the ones I’m always drawn to and the fit has been perfected by their masters. I find these to be tricky because there is no give so if something is wrong with the fit, it becomes extremely comfortable. Instead, Gucci makes it so that your whole feet [...]

Miu Miu Contrast Stitch Wedge

I have a feeling these are going to be a “love” or “hate” item for you savy shoe people out there. The Miu Miu contrast stitch wedge in my opinion, is adorable. I could see myself wearing these come summer as they are versatile, cute and really say, “buy me a root beer float and [...]

Jil Sander Phoebe

I knew this shoe was from Jil Sander before I clicked on the details.  Raf Simons interprets Japanese minimalism almost as well as Jil herself does (and this is from a die hard fan of Jil Sander the woman).  I have to smile when I look at this shoe, it reminds me of all the [...]

Haute Hippie Leather Spats: Insta-boots.

What’s that? You want a new pair of boots but don’t want to spend a lot this late in the season? Don’t fret friends, I have your solution. The Haute Hippie Leather Spats have a cutout heel and Velcro closure at foot making it super easy to strap these babies on and be on your [...]

“Flat” Espadrilles from Stuart Weitzman and Chloe

Ask and you shall receive. You wanted flat (ish) espadrilles, here you have them. These are 2 that I just bought and if you feel that this weird pitch is dumpy, you’ll be happy to know that this is the look right now. Stuart Weitzman is not normally the most cutting edge (more like never) [...]

Acne Pin Fur Heels: Slob or Snob?

I know what you’re thinking, and yes, there is a lot going on with the Acne pin fur heels, but I kind of enjoy its randomness and free spirit. I feel like this shoe is saying, “Yea, I know I’m blue with fur and metallic detail, and I confuse people with my print and loud [...]

Lanvin Ankle-Wrap Puzzle Wedge

You’ve always wanted to be Barbie? Here is your chance. And you will rock it like nobody’s business. Your legs will also look disproportionately long in these, thanks to the 5.5″ wedge and 1.5″ platform. The slender silhouette along with that impossible pitch will make your feet look tiny and narrow, too. I am loving [...]

Viktor & Rolf Open Toe Flared Throat Pumps: Serious Sex Appeal

There’s no denying, these are fierce shoes. Tall, sleek, black magic with a buckled sling-back strap, the Viktor & Rolf open toe flared throat pumps will let your prowl in style. The wide open toe makes these shoes unique. It’s larger than what you usually see on this type of design, and I think it’s [...]
