jackie onassis

I saw this picture of Jackie at a museum recently and it led me on a Google image hunt of photos of her. I think of all her styles I loved her Greek, Onassis period the best. I found these Bernardo sandals which would be the perfect place to start if you wanted to channel a little Jackie O. Legend has it she owned a pair of their Miami style in every color. You can purchase directly from Bernardo or Piperlime, my new favorite online shoe site.

shoe box

This is random but I had to share. I have about 20 of these shoe boxes from the Container Store and they are the best way to store your shoes. You can buy a case of 20 for $30 or each for $1.79. They are clear so you can see your shoes easily and they stack nicely on top of each other. They have revolutionized my closet!

My Mom has always said Nordies had the best shoe selection and she’s right. I really like the patent leather offerings. They’re a great Spring style but I’m not sure how long this trend will last so get em while they’re hot!

Ballet flats have made a raging comeback in the last year and they appear to be the shoe for Spring or so says the tome of tomes the NYT (witness my recent purchase of the Tory Burch Reva ballerina). London Sole is on top of the trend with over 400 unique designs! The Valentine is my fave, check out their website or their boutique on Maiden Lane in San Francisco.

My latest covet is the Reva ballerina flat by Tory Burch. They are available in lots of colors with the gold or silver Tory Burch logo. I think I’ll mix it up and go with the orange, black is great but boring. I am very excited because there is a Tory Burch store in Atlanta and I had them put the orange on hold for me until tomorrow, woo hoo!

Some fashionable finds for a Monday morning. Le Train Bleu boutique is sort of Anthropologie with an edge and is one of my favorite spots for hard to find designers like Vena Cava, Erotokritos and Mint. They always have interesting shoe styles and if you check often enough they have great sales as well.

the boots, finally!

Tuesday, February 6th, 2007

So in case you were wondering I finally bought some boots. The styles I had listed previously were either sold out or they didn’t have my size or they looked like crap-a-doodle-do when I tried them on. So I just bought these puppies from Zappos, they are Charles David so I figure they must be fairly nice. They arrive on Thursday, yeah!

the boots

Monday, January 15th, 2007

So every year when I get my bonus I treat myself to fancy new shoes. This year apparently it will be new black boots since the heel just broke off my 2004 bonus boots.

This Saturday we went to see Garrison Keillor record A Prarie Home Companion in San Francisco with our friends Pappy (short for Shane Papatolicas) and his wife Maglie (short for My Australian Girlfriend Living in England aka Kelly Papatolicas). Afterwards we hit the Toronado in the Haight for beers and burgers. On the way back to the car I stumbled crossing the street and felt like I had a flat tire but being human that’s not possible! It was my heel cracking off my Italian boots, wicked bummer! I’ll probably just take them to a cobbler but here are some snazzy new boots I could buy in the meantime. Which do you like best? I think I’m leaning towards the top 2.

kork-ease

I am completely digging these Kork-Ease sandals for their 70′s hippie dippie style and the cork sole platform. I just saw them in the Sundance catalog, did a little online research and was shocked to hear they were the hottest sandal last year! Where was I?
Apparently they were the hipster shoe of the 70′s and they even made it into the Met’s Costume Institute as the original wedge sandal. After 25 years off the market a big shoe company bought the license and they’re back albeit with a 21st century mark-up, they run about $175. You can find all their styles at Zappos (ps. they are on sale there right now!)
