Architectural heels come and go, but the cork wedge will be a summer staple for all eternity! Few know how to make a consistent classic feel revived like Rachel Zoe. Maybe it’s the stylist in her, maybe it’s just her glamorous way with basics. Either way, the Sharon platform is destined to be your new [...]
Rachel Zoe Collection Giveaway: The Parton
The Parton sandal may have a lot of elements going on – snakeskin-texture, a variety of straps, a stacked-wood platform – but it’s as smooth as can be. So smooth, I can see this sandal going anywhere you want it to and blending right in. Think of the Parton as the laidback version of the [...]
Diane von Furstenberg Zia Metallic Cork Sandal: Gold Goodness
Gold is one of my favorite looks for warm weather. It looks great with a tan, gives a hint of color but is metallic and trendy and can be dressed up for a wedding or down for drinks. These DVF gold goodies are right up my alley. They have wide leather straps so not to [...]
Top 5 Denim Shoes: Kick the Blues Away
I am so happy to see denim shoes making a comeback. There was the lone Bottega pair I spotted a while back, which was totally worth drooling over, and now there’s a flourish of great options. I had a favorite pair years ago that I wore out just like I would my most prized pair [...]

Pierre Hardy Snakeskin Platform Sandals: Cubism Movement
Pierre Hardy’s art-school roots are in full swing. There is certainly a lot of visuals going on here: multiple colors, nebulous shapes, snakeskin, and, of course, the cubist web, a trademark Hardy theme. The shield of transparent cubes is reminiscent of the old arcade video game Q*Bert, which dates me and most of you won’t [...]
Sandals not Mandals: Strappy Heaven
Beaches tend to be dreadful sights. You approach the warm water, while a gentle breeze travels around you, obscuring the scorching heat of the summer sun. Then you look down…and there they are: mandals! Quelle horreur! Now, in a perfect world, there would be no mandals, but alas, that’s why the Man Snob here is [...]
