valentine’s day: manolo blahnik

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008
Manolo Blahnik Tuccioson Pumps
Tuccioson Pumps Manolo Blahnik | 5.5 | $585

Visualize cotton candy pink, and a gal thinks of a precious stone, or perhaps a dozen roses. But this Valentine’s Day, you’ll want to shift that image to one of sequined pink pumps.

I have my eye on the Tuccioson pumps by Manolo Blahnik at Barney’s. Smooth tiny pink sequins cover the entire shoe and demure three inch heel. They’ll certainly pair well with my new array of spring evening dresses.

grammy style studio: hush puppies

Saturday, February 9th, 2008
Hush Puppies Rachel Fanconi

Celebrating their 50th birthday, Hush Puppies rewards us by unveiling a line of brand-spanking new designs at the Grammy Style Studio.

In 50 years, you can imagine how things have changed for the company. Most recently, they partnered with fashion-forward celebrity stylist Rachel Fanconi to give the brand a total overhaul, making it more appealing to a hipper audience while retaining the known-and-loved Hush Puppy comfort.

Hush Puppies Alise

I have to say, ladies, the designs are very cool.

The line is available Fall 2008. Until then, enjoy this preview:

Their green leather Mary Jane “Alise” was both beautiful and functional. It features a lower heel, which is perfect for those days you want to be both stylish and comfortable. The rubber bottoms are a big plus for slick-surface support.

Hush Puppies Divinity Boot

I especially like the “Fallon” and “Ashlyn” styles. They have four designs, including the ankle booties “Divinity,” “Hadley,” and “Adeline,” as well as pump “Ariana.” Aside from the occasional 5.5, sizing starts at 6.

chicago: marky holiday shoes

Monday, November 26th, 2007

‘Tis true, the holidays are all about giving. But after all that shopping for the beau, the family, and the friends, you’re feeling a bit, well, left out. (You know the drill…)

So I invite you to reward yourselves with a great holiday collection of shoes from Marky, the ever-popular European shoe boutique in Chicago.

Fashioned from red satin with a leather sole and an elegant 4-inch heel.

barney’s: christian louboutin shoes

Sunday, August 26th, 2007
Louboutin Metallic Bow Pump

I’m in lust. The culprit? Oh, just a pair of Christian Louboutin High Heel Round Toe Pumps. And for a mere $720.00, I can have them. I love the design, the toe shape, the heel height, the patent leather and the red sole. Absolutely stunning. (Sizing starts at 5 online.)

Louboutin Black Mary Jane

Thankfully, there’s no such thing as monogamy in shoe lust. Because the black Mesh Mary Jane makes me want to… well, really ENJOY the shoes. And what better way to spend $820? Then again, this could be one of those incredible sexy dreams that do nothing but disappoint when the alarm sounds.

Louboutin Glitter Slingback

My impractical side sees a need for a shoe with sparkle. And I’ve found it. The Glitter Platform Slingback is as lust-worthy as it is elegant. Plus, it’s only $690. (Sizing starts at 5.)

Louboutin Tiger Pump

And if you somehow made it this far without an animal print shoe, Barneys online has come to your rescue with a perfect pair of shiny Tiger Print Pumps for $570. (Sizing starts at 5.)

Now, about that dream…
