Paris Hilton makes wearable shoes?

When I first heard that Paris Hilton was designing shoes, I shuddered… and then completely forgot about.  Until I was browsing through Zappos and came across these charming patent leather “Chino” flats:

They’re wearable…
And pretty…
And not the hooker shoe monstrosity I was expecting!  Now, not all the shoes in the collection thrill me, but I was […]

Mouse shoes from Marc Jacobs

A person could argue that no woman over the ago of, oh - say 10 years, should wear shoes with faces…
But these patent leather mouse shoes from Marc Jacobs are just too adorable to not mention:

Cute, no?
Suitable for wearing to sit in a cafe and sip coffee or browse through your favorite bookstore… just avoid […]

Celebrate Earth Day with environmentally friendly accessories

It’s Earth Day today - now, I’m one of those people who think that we should be more Earth-friendly every day… but it’s still a good day to focus on products that are better for our environment :-)
Let’s start off with the “Baldaci” shoe from Timberland:

It’s got an organic cotton upper and lining made using […]

interesting shoe names

I love this orange patent peep-toe by Irregular Choice:

But the name doesn’t thrill me…
Who the heck came up with name “Lick Me” for that lovely spring-time flat?  Shoe fetishists?

oil slick patent leather heels from Calvin Klein

I’ve written about my love of unique patent leather accessories before (Prada sfumato anyone?) and I know I wrote about Donna Karan’s “xenon oxide” pumps before… But I had to add Calvin Klein’s new “Saphire” asymetrical strap high heels in rainbow prism to my list of lusted-after shoes:

hot pink patent platforms from Christian Louboutin

Boy, try saying that three times fast :-)

Is it wrong that I love this intense fuschia color on Christian Louboutin’s patent leather platform sling backs?
Of course, you can also go with the same shoe in nude if the pink is too much for you…

I still think I prefer the pink though :-)

cell phone cases with flair

Almost all of us carry cell phones - we don’t all have to use the same bland case though :-)

This printed patent leather cell phone case from Patrizia Pepe certainly proves that point!
Or if you prefer something more whimsical - how about the Julius & Friends cell phone case by Paul Frank?

And then for the […]
