Socks and summer aren't generally two words which run together nicely. But in the case of a UK summer (remember, that's a different kettle of fish folks!), adding socks to an outfit can create a landmine of summer styling options, especially for those days when you're just not sure how long the sun is going to stay out and play, or for those cooler evenings when that itty bitty skirt and heels somehow aren't going to keep the pins warm. In this vid, Zara and Isabelle get experimenting with different socks from Topshop, Tightsplease and Bebaroque - check it out and see what you think!
I think I've found some boots for fall 09, please! Going backstage at Tory Burch was such a treat, not just because the designer is so lovely and gracious, but because I got to see all the shoes and bags and jewelry up close! Check out some of my pics!
Those of us in the UK have been dealing with snow rather than rain this week, but when rain is the order of the day and you don't want your pretty shoes (or even boots) to get ruined, this product is for you.
It's called "Shuella" and it bills itself as an "umbrella for shoes". The difference between this and a pair of galoshes, say, is that the "Shuella" will fit over any height of heel, so you can keep your stilettos on and slip this over the top of it. When you're out of the rain, you just take them off, wipe them down with the cloth supplied with them, fold them into their pouch and pop them into your handbag. There's a variety of colours to choose from, and they cost $49.95 per pair. Get them here.
Like it or not, the "jeans tucked into boots" look is still going strong - and at this time of year it's sometimes just plain practical not to let your jeans drag along the muddy/wet ground. Even the skinniest of jeans, however, can sometimes ride up inside the boots, leading to that attractive "wrinkled knee" look, and if you're wearing ankle boots, it can look even worse. Sound familiar? What you need is "Stirrupz". These are exactly what they sound like - detachable "stirrups" which you attach to the bottoms of your jeans or trousers to hold them in place when you're wearing boots. Simple but handy, and available to buy now for $21, here.
Just remember to take them off when you remove the boots...
I know there's not much chance of anyone reading this running out of actual shoes to covet, but if you ever do, and you feel like branching out into the world of expensive jewellery instead, this shoe-covered Hermes bracelet may be just what you're looking for.
I haven't been able to find a price for this online, so I think "expensive" is probably the right word here - in fact, I'm willing to bet you'd be able to pick up at least one pair of designer shoes for the same price, but hey, you may just be surprised. Visit the Hermes website to find a boutique near you.
Whether you use this tote bag for your weekly grocery shop, as a gym bag or to transport your heels on the way to work (ah thank heavens for 'tube shoes' eh?), you will feel a nice warm fuzzy feeling of shoe love everytime you see it.
It has a handy zip top closure so whatever you choose to put in there (your Jimmy Choos perhaps?) will be tucked up safe and sound, away from rain and/or prying eyes and greedy fingers on the train. It's only £12.72 from Oli and would make a great Chrissy present for any shoe-loving gal.
Great shoes can be ruined by a bad pedicure, but a slick of bright red polish on the toes can make all the difference. OPI has gained a reputation as one of the best nail polish brands in the world, and this set, created for Sephora, would make a good introduction to the brand. It contains a nail colour ('Curve-aceous') top coat and nail polish remover, and is $20 at Sephora. Equally good for those new to OPI or dedicated fans, this is a colour that will suit just about everyone.
