I’ve always had an appreciation for blonde-haired beauties who have brains, too. Gwen Stefani is definitely one of those women. Balancing babies with business, styling with singing; she’s an excellent example of multi-tasking. And while I’m totally over Gwen’s L.A.M.B. collections filled with Gucci-knock-off -inspired logo canvas, banded stripes, and cinched waists, –
I do love this pair of […]

Hope,
I’m looking for a versatile, classic pair of rainboots. I’m considering the original Hunter boots in chocolate brown, because they are simple and you can fit your jeans inside… any other suggestions?
Whitney
Darling, I’ve got suggestions like you wouldn’t believe! I looove rainboots, rubbers, wellies, — whatever you want to call them — and I am […]

There’s nothing better during dull winter days — and nights — than giving slushy sidewalks and snowy streets some competition. My motto is, don’t let the winter weather cause you wardrobe worriment; wear whatever footwear you love!
Work open-toes with the weather by pairing them with opaque tights, and don’t be afraid to rock boots with […]

More than I’d enjoy wearing Gucci’s “Newton” high heel booties, I like looking at them. Am I the only person who thinks they look like a piece of art, or something from the page-a-day shoe calendar?
Just look at that sleek patent black leather, joined so beautifully with a glossy gold (gooold!) back. Featuring a 4 […]

Mary jane pumps are about as iconic as Chanel No. 5 perfume. They’re a shoe that will never go out of style and that will never be out-dated.
So I love the look of these double buckle mary janes by Marc Jacobs. He’s a design god, so of course his shoes are absolutely amazing, and these pumps are […]

J’Adore Dior: Fresh from my main man Dior’s spring footwear collection, these t-strap sandals are the perfect shoes for skipping into spring and summer. Like a piece of beautiful artwork, Dior’s t-strap sandals are easy to look at and full of intricate details. Made in Italy from crocodile-embossed leather, these sandals have plenty of hardware; […]

Blame it on the January thaw, but I am loving all things yellow. Could I be craving spring weather to slip into some of these vibrantly coloured clothes?
Obviously.
While lemon yellow doesn’t suit fair-skinned women, and butter yellow doesn’t wear well on raven-haired women, I’m convinced there is a shade of this sunshine-inspired colour out there […]

Fresh from his spring collection, Christian Louboutin contrasts hot pink with his signature red soles and readies women for warmer temperatures with patent leather strapped and standing on a four-inch heel.
Though January’s not exactly a practical time for open toes, these sandals beg to be worn now. Especially with the mercury dropping, I can think of nothing hotter than hot […]

It’s highly unlikely I’d hand over close to $500 for a pair of shoes made from anything other than leather; I’d be more likely to do so if they were branded by genius Marc Jacobs.
Enter the Marc by Marc Jacobs pump.
I love the simplicity of black married to a classic shape, and a standard 3 1/2 inch […]

So Prince Charming gives you reasons to go out for a night on the town, to look your best without exception, to glam up in garb others would call gaudy, –
But who needs Prince Charming if you’ve got Monsieur Louboutin?
Glitter sprinkled gold leather, set off by a peep toe and slingback, covering a platform sole, –
I’d rather slip my feet into this pair of […]

Slippers are practical for anyone living north of the Mason-Dixon line; for frequent travellers who want to keep their feet away from foreign floors; for me –
Because I believe Burberry is branding at its best, and these slippers would look super sweet on my feet.
And they come with a quilted packing bag.
Like I need any […]

Many people aren’t familiar with Alexandra Neel — does no one remember the corset boot from her Fall 2002 collection? [see photo below on the right] – the designer who honed her skills at Celine and Balenciaga before embarking on her own creative expedition, but I’ve recently developed a love for her elegant, ballerina-inspired footwear.
Case in point? Check […]
