Generally, it’s not too hard to look at a pair of shoes and imagine who might wear them. Even if I can’t think of a specific name, there’s almost always a type of person that comes to mind, even if that theoretical person is maybe not the person that the designer would ideally like to see don his or her footwear.

I used to be such a flip-flop lover. When I lived in a warm climate and drove everywhere, nary a spring or summer day would pass without a pair of Havaianas for my feet.

Sadly, these shoes probably demonstrate at least part of the reason why a lot of people were excited to see Hedi Slimane take over at YSL.

Depending on your plans for the evening, I’ve assembled a series of posts to take you from black tie to bar-hopping to a more casual house party. Read More…

I may have become addicted to writing about Charlotte Olympia’s shoes. I restrained myself all last week, but when I saw the Charlotte Olympia Jingle Bell Doll Pumps show up on the New Arrivals page at Net-a-Porter, I simply couldn’t stop myself any longer. Not only are these pumps a beautiful shade of red, but you can make actual shoe music with them. Read More…

I’ve been singing the praises of Nicholas Kirkwood‘s incredible shoes for quite a while now, and if you’ve considered adding one of his designs to your collection (or if you would like to make your existing Kirkwood closet hoard even bigger), we’ve got just the place you should do it. THE OUTNET is currently hosting a blowout sale of some of Kirkwood’s best designs, and you know that we love nothing more than a sale. Read More…
