Here’s the second Spice Girl we’ve spotted in sassy Christian Louboutin boots in the past week! First we caught Victoria Beckham picking up chip shop take-out in her fave pair of Louboutin Vicky Boots, and now here’s Melanie Brown, prowling around London in six-inch heels attached to a pair of knee high, cut-out Christian Louboutin Bandita Boots. These boots are tragically no longer available in stores, but you can shop all things Louboutin at Net-A-Porter. Read More…
As I write this, I, along with everyone else in the New York City metro area, am waiting to endure the wrath of Mother Nature in snow form. I’ll be fine because as a nervous southerner, I bought fancy snow boots and a parka as soon as the temperatures started to cool during my first year living in NYC. I’ve had little chance to use either because of the wonky winter weather we’ve had for the past two winters. Read More…
I’m not sure why I’m so curmudgeonly when it comes to sneaker trends. I love regular sneakers in all their incarnations and think they have a fascinating history as part of America’s social fabric, especially during the 80s and 90s. I love that Nike has stepped up to the plate and embraced the idea of being a fashion brand along with an athletic brand. Read More…
We dished about these brand new Manolo Blahnik PVC pumps just two weeks ago, and now, here they are adorning the feet of Jenna Elfman at the premiere of Identity Thief in LA. For those not yet in the know, these peekaboo heels are the red suede Manolo Blahnik Pacha Pumps. You can pick up the same shoes in black for $645 at Neiman Marcus. Read More…
It never ceases to amaze me how, when a shoe is very carefully designed, it can so clearly evoke a particular theme or mood or person with only a few details. Usually when that happens, it’s a shoe that makes me think of a city – Miami and Las Vegas, for example, have very distinct footwear personalities, and the sight of a shoe that would fit in perfectly in one of those locales can transport me there almost immediately.

It’s been quite an impressive few years for Charlotte Olympia. Lucky Magazine thinks the brand may be well on its way to becoming the next Christian Louboutin, and I wouldn’t be entirely surprised. Louboutin and Olympia both have a quirky-luxurious sensibility to their designs and a very highly developed look that consumers can recognize from afar, and those things are of principal importance when developing a footwear following.

Generally, shoes as a contemporary price point just aren’t quite as exciting as shoes from the most high-end of designers. That’s largely out of necessity; the finest materials and most intricate detailing cost more money to manufacture, and contemporary brands need to keep their prices reasonable, lest they price themselves out of their own market. Every now and then, though, a designer with a contemporary price point and a highly detailed look comes along with exciting options for people who love both their closets and their bank accounts.

Here’s actress AnnaLynne McCord on location for 90210 in LA, sporting a pair of eye-popping coral Alice + Olivia Dina Pumps. I love the sharp lines on these heels – they somehow make a normal pump with a 4-inch heel seem far edgier. (I’d pick these over a pair of Louboutin platform pumps any day.) You can pick up a very similar, snake-embossed pair for just $295 at Shopbop! Read More…
