Last weekend, while most of New York City was still blanketed by significant snow, I strapped on my snow boots and made the sometimes-precarious journey to Barneys to shop for shoes. I don’t necessarily recommend going shoe shopping when you’re wearing complicated all-weather boots; taking them on and off between shoe departments at different stores gets old really quickly. The trip was mostly for the benefit of my friend, though, who was hunting for several new pairs and had just received a shoe-enabling bonus at work. Read More…
Much like when it comes to their handbags, Chloe knows when it has a good thing. The now famed Susanna studded boots have resurfaced in a variety of combinations, from different stud colors to different leathers, and for the New Year it looks like the Susanna is taking a softer side.
The silver studs on this version are paired with a light blush leather, and while the punk edginess of the boots is toned down, it hasn’t lost all of its rocker feel. Read More…
On this fine Friday we have the eternally ageless Kate Walsh, who’s playing it super casual in LA with distressed jeans, a slouchy striped sweater and the studded Chloe Susan Boots. These Chloe kicks look like they were conceived on some Italian designer dude ranch, do they not? They can be lassoed up with any major credit card at your nearest Nordstrom for only $1345.

Around the PurseBlog/TalkShoes offices, we are ENORMOUS fans of the Chloe Susan Booties. Our marketing director Hilary recently bought a pair of her very own while in Paris, and every time she wears them, I drool and wonder if I would be able to steal them without arousing suspicion. (Megs, Hilary and I all wear the same size shoe, which is convenient.) She’d know exactly where to look for her missing shoes, of course, so I have yet to act on my klepto impulses. Read More…
Let it be known: I dig a weird shoe. I prefer something sightly left-of-center, just a bit off-kilter and a little unexpected over something obviously sexy any day of the week. The reasons that people dig “obviously sexy” are clear to me, of course, but I just can’t really get on board with them for my own personal style.
Something like the Chloe Susan Studded Ankle Boots, on the other hand, are right up my alley. Read More…
Oh dear. I thought that Chloe’s giant Fall 2011 colorblocking failure was limited to bags, but it looks as though whatever virulent strain infected the Gaby Bucket Bag has also come after the Chloe Patchwork Python Knee Boots. The prognosis is not good. I believe that the death of taste is imminent.
Look at all that python. So much python! Read More…

Nothing brings me more joy than getting to write a positive post about a new collection from a brand that’s had some trouble finding its voice in the recent past. Chloe has had its issues since Phoebe Philo left for greener pastures (and eventually Celine), but based on Chloe Spring 2012, I’m optimistic that Clare Waight Keller can right the ship. Read More…

As much as I may not like Chloe’s Fall 2011 handbag efforts (and I really, really don’t like them), I love the shoes from the same collection. Can we give the footwear team a raise and ask them to keep the Chloe handbag people in line? Read More…
