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!

    Kate Spade did a taxi collection a few months ago as well.

    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!
