Yves Saint Laurent “Tribute” Lace-Up Leather Ankle Boots: A Tribute to Change
t’s not yet Independence Day, yet already we are starting to get inklings of how we want to look come fall. Now, Yves Saint Laurent gives us more than a hint that the seasons will change before we know it. Their famed “Tribute” shoe has taken a sober turn. It feels like just yesterday we [...]
Alexander Wang “Fabiana” Patent Leather Cape Sandals: It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s Alex Wang!
Something you might not know about me: I’m a superhero junkie. Naturally, I think capes go with everything, and I only wish I had the guts to strut around in one. But a cape on a shoe? That hadn’t occurred to me. This is the kind creative genius that can only come from Alex Wang. [...]
Jimmy Choo “Ellie” Wedges: The Pleasure Principle
Get your Choos on, ladies! If this smoking hot shoe doesn’t inspire you to do some Choos shopping, nothing will. It also might inspire a shadow of fear in some, and rightfully so. With countless skinny straps and a crazy-tall 5.5″ heel in a fleshy nude shade with patent leather trim, it doesn’t get much [...]
Edmundo Castillo Feather Trim Sneakers: A Feather in His Cap?
I can always count on Edmundo Castillo to make me do a double take. Sometimes, on second glance, I see where the details are off. It wouldn’t take a lingering look to detect what’s wrong with this picture, as this is no subtle sneaker. The detective work comes in deciphering whether these kicks are adorned [...]
Leopard High Heels: Fall’s New Spots
It’s no coincidence that each and every fall, we witness the return of the leopard-print trend. That’s because it never really goes out of vogue! Why would it? There is no greater, more stimulating, sizzling neutral than the well-orchestrated leopard print. Especially when it’s introduced through the high-heeled pump. You get to show your wild [...]
Fendi Gray And Black Suede Cut-Out Platform Pump: Summer Suede is A-Okay
I know what you’re going to say, suede makes you think of the colder months, not the warm air that is rolling in around us this very minute, but summer is a time to play by your own rules, and if those rules say wear these fantastic suede shoes in the summer because they are [...]
Stuart Weitzman Internal Wedge Boot: Faux-Flat Attack
I don’t understand the point of these boots. Isn’t the beauty of flats the fact that they are flat? And these hidden wedges certainly don’t LOOK better than heels. Stuart Weitzman‘s “internal wedge” gives you neither. Not the comfort of flats, nor the sexy appeal of a heel. And the giant fabric panel isn’t helping [...]
Seen on the Street Roundup: French Dressing
It goes without saying that Parisians have great personal style. Unfussy, effortless, inherent, and most of all, thoroughly chic, we Americans have been trying to mimic their ultimately inimitable way of dressing for decades. So let these smart shoe shots, courtesy of Jak & Jil and my fried Phil the Street Peeper, just be a [...]
Report Signature Juno Platform Pumps: Woven Summer Staple
I am just l-o-v-i-n-g these for summer-clutch shoes. The color goes with anything, the texture screams warm weather and the red heel adds a subtle sizzle of sex appeal to an otherwise sweet shoe. The Report Signature Juno Platform Pumps are woven straw sitting on a tall platform with leather trim and a patent leather [...]
Alexander Wang “Chantal” Fox-Fur Patent Leather Sandals: Into the Boudoir
Why, hello, femme fatale! It was only a matter of time before Wang did a comedic take on the furry mule. These are, of course, to be worn with a negligee – full-length and sheer, please. And don’t forget a martini in hand to complete the lounging-in-black-tie look. So fluffy, I have the urge to [...]
