The Complete Taxi Wardrobe: Ring, Shoes and Purse

March 11, 2015 by WendyB

I’ve always thought my New York City taxi ring needed a few accessories.

I finally found some! You can get these 1980s vintage Moschino shoes on 1stdibs.

$598. Click to purchase.

I also found a taxi purse at a store called The Wind in the Willows in Naples, Fla.

I was a big fan of The Wind in the Willows book when I was a kid. Mr. Toad of Toad Hall was my favorite character. My sister didn’t feel the same way because during a trip to Disney World when she was very little, Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride scared her half to death. Today, in a much less frightening toad/frog moment, I posed my Frog and Prince ring on a real lily pad.

I always thought it was great that in that book characters are simply known as “Mole” and “Rat” and “Mr. Badger.” It made it all very clear.

UPDATED TO ADD: Thanks to commenter Marguerite for pointing out Kate Spade’s taxi collection.

Available at Saks.

Cute, but my heart belongs to the Moschinos!

    Your taxi ring sure gets around town!! Oooh, those shoes! Of course they’re Moschino. Adore. Are you insane putting that gorgeous ring on a lily pad?? What if it fell in… my heart stopped just looking at the photo!

      Oh! The ring was in a smallish pot my father had on the lanai, not in a pond!
