Just kidding. This isn’t really even a game, is it? The only correct answer for this week’s Fill in the Blank is “an abomination against god and humanity,” so there’s not really any point in continuing here. Still, I’m sure that you guys will have some even more creative ways to describe the Marc by Marc Jacobs Cutout Sneaker Wedges, and I’m looking forward to reading them. Read More…
There are precious few things I love more in life than a truly beautiful flat shoe. Designers put so much time and energy into their high heels that anything less than four inches tall usually feels like an afterthought, but in reality, those are the shoes that women wear most often and really need in their wardrobes.

Marc by Marc Jacobs X-Band Wedge Sandals, $450 via Net-a-Porter
We don’t often mention Marc by Marc Jacobs shoes in this part, which is too bad. I often find MbMJ bags that I can’t wait to write about, but over the past few seasons, the brand’s footwear has left something to be desired. The brand has a quirky, young aesthetic that simply hasn’t come out in its shoes in a while. Read More…
