The problem with fashion is that I have rules for myself that I think are a good guide for what I should and should not buy, and then when I see something I love that violates one of them, I’m thrown into an existential crisis. What happens if I violate one of my personal rules, get myself into a situation where I can’t return something that I end up hating, and then feel a tiny bit of rage every time I see them.

Sergio Rossi never ceases to surprise and delight. From season to season, I feel like I never know what to expect from the Italian shoemaker; one season, it’s stilettos with huge platforms, the next, it’s colorful pumps with sculptural, wire-structured florals snaking their way up the wearer’s leg. This time, it’s foot jewelry.

There’s no better way to describe the Sergio Rossi Crystalized Satin Floral Sandal – this design is jewelry for your tootsies. Read More…

I have lots of crackpot theories about fashion and how it should make people feel or act when it’s done correctly, but one of the highest compliments I can pay to a piece or a collection is to say that it made me smile. That was the immediate reaction I had to Sergio Rossi Fall 2011 – these are very “special” shoes for very particular occasions, and they take flights of fancy to a whole new level. Read More…

How old were you in the mid-90s? I was around 10 years old and prom and all of its trappings and glamour had just recently become a part of my pre-teen consciousness. I loved nothing more than to look at all the ads for tacky prom dresses in Seventeen and YM and one day dream of what I’d wear to my own. Read More…

Brown suede is not my favorite material on the face of the planet, not by a long shot. In fact, it ranks among the things I like least, right up there with spaghetti straps and anything rendered in baby pink. And yet, for some reason, I keep returning to look at the Sergio Rossi Laser Cut Wedge Booties.
