Before I moved to New York City two years ago, it had never occurred to me that there would be a period of time during legitimate spring (not “spring” in early March, when it’s actually still winter but we’re all sick of admitting that to ourselves) when it wouldn’t be appropriate to wear sandals. Look back, there are really only two seasons in Atlanta (Hot and Not Hot), and by Easter, if not well before, I always found myself scurrying about in sandals. Read More…
Creating a hit shoe requires some good design, good timing and a bit of alchemy. If you miss any of those three things, sorry – better luck next time. Rarely do all three convene, but for the Charlotte Olympia Kitty Velvet Slippers, they did. The success of the design only continues to grow, and although it might seem like a novelty shoe at first blush, with a bit of examination, it’s not hard to divine exactly why these shoes keep coming back, season after season, to complete the collections of eager customers.

Summer can be hard on feet, especially if you live in a city. It’s exciting to wear sandals, but after a couple weeks, your feet look worse for the wear – things stay much prettier when your toes aren’t exposed to the elements, whether you’re dealing with sand or concrete. (And trust me, it’s much worse when it’s concrete, which it is for a lot of us.) Sometimes, even during warm months, your feet need a break behind a layer of fabric. Read More…
For a lot of women, holidays aren’t much of a holiday. We’re often the ones left in charge of the cooking, cleaning, preparing and shopping for any given celebration, which means a lot of tasks to accomplish and and work to be done. All of that fuss can leave anyone feeling dowdy and unfashionable, but as always, we have a suggestions: pick up a pair of chic loafers or smoking slippers to get you through the holidays in both comfort and style.

Mix leather, studs, and leopard, and what do you get? The House of Harlow Haircalf Stud Kye Flats. If you read my prior post on a pair of Alice and Olivia haircalf flats, then there is no need to reiterate my dislike for fur on flats. (Oops, couldn’t resist!) I am usually one to rave about my fondness for color blocking and mixing of textures, but these flats go against everything I believe. Read More…
Interesting? I know we don’t always play along with you guys on Fill in the Blank, but I couldn’t resist. It was a slip of the tongue, or maybe “slip of the fingers” would be more appropriate. Anyone who follows along with us here knows the rules to this game, but for any newbies out there, all you have to do is leave a comment with the word you feel is appropriate to finish off the statement in the title.

I’m not along when I say that the flat sandal is both literally and figuratively the foundation of my warm-weather wardrobe. A good pair of flat sandals is both as comfortable as a pair of flip-flops and far more chic; they can provide a pop of color for an outfit or fade into the background if what you’re wearing is already bright.

The Tory Burch Eddie Ballet Flats may not look like much, but that’s probably because you’ve never had a pair on your feet. When I first tried these shoes on at Intermix, I immediately bought both colors that the store stocked. It wasn’t even a conscious decision; I found myself groaning in happiness and gesticulating wildly toward the sample shoe still left on the shelf. Read More…
