Nine West Espadrilles: Nine Times the Fun
Frugal snob alert! Summer dressing is more carefree and casual – you can get away with springing for cheaper, anti-commitment gear. There’s no need to pay $500 for espadrilles when Nine West is offering chic pairs for 10% of the price! Their “Braxton,” a pumped-up, strappy wedge platform, and “Jaxson,” a laid-back slingback from the [...]
Alaïa Raffia Platform Wedge Sandals: Raffia Gone Wild
Alluring Alaïa shoes keep reeling us back in! After Tina’s disastrous Alaïa incident, I’m not sure I ever want to pay two grand for a pair of their shoes. There’s nothing on these wedges that can fall off (unlike Tina’s heavy-metal plaque), but then again, should raffia ever be priced at two thousand bucks? They [...]
CoStume National Private Sale: Calling All Shoe Fanatics!
Memorial Day isn’t the only reason to celebrate today! The coolest brand around is having a major 40%-off sale, which starts for the public on June 3rd.

Strap into this mega-shoe and you’ve instantly added the emphasis you need to look anything but boring. In a mélange of rich brown shades and dynamic [...]
Frugal Vs. Snob Shoe-Off: Earth and Air
So you fancy yourself a true snob? Impeccable knockoffs, quality discrepancies, and old-fashioned issues of taste can throw off even the haughtiest of shoppers. Let’s see if you’re really up to snob snuff and can tell your haute couture from your prêt-a-porter and your high end from your high street. The Look of the Week [...]
Rodarte for Opening Ceremony Pom-Pom Platform Sandals: Pom-Wonderful
Shoes have been getting very fancy and a little gratuitous with their embellishments as of late (remember yesterday’s zebra costume-wearing Mary Jane?). So it’s refreshing to see a pair of sandals with no more adornment than a single, perfectly placed pom-pom. I bear a soft spot for the spunky little fluff balls, maybe because I [...]
JC de Castelbajac Pony-Fur Zebra-Print Pumps: Look What Escaped From the Zoo!
These are more than just “zebra-print pumps” – these are all-out costumes for your feet. Kind of like a little zebra outfit you might put on your infant or Yorkshire terrier on Halloween. Adorable on either of them, but on your high-heeled feet? Not so much. Suffice to say, JC de Castelbajac‘s pony-fur shoes border [...]
Dita Von Teese’s Shoe Style: What Would Dita Do?
Modern day pin-up and burlesque queen Dita Von Teese consistently puts a new spin – or shall I say enchantingly old? – on daily dressing. Her recent vintage-based look while out shopping at Fred Segal in LA this week (seriously, who has the guts and savvy to dress like this for a day of shopping?) [...]
Camilla Skovgaard Patent Leather Sandal: Super Sandal
Camilla Skovgaard is a fairly new shoe designer who has already developed an unmistakable style: high-heels for the girl who dresses herself and owns the room, and with a penchant for treaded soles, she also isn’t afraid to break into a run. Or in this case, possibly take off in mid-air. While this patent leather [...]
