There hasn’t been a shoe that’s interested me in quite a while, but this Dior caught my eye because it reminds me of a Peter Fox style I had in the 1980s. You can just barely make out those Peter Fox shoes against my crazy striped tights in this poorly lit photo from 1986. Madonna…

Fashion Repeats Itself: Money Stays in Style
Dollar prints on clothes and accessories are trendy again. Balenciaga is doing them. So is Margiela. Whenever currency is au courant in fashion, I can shop my closet for my vintage Christian Francis Roth dollar dress. The dress was created in 1991 … … but I bought it on eBay in 2009. I’ve worn this…
Foot Fetish: Thigh-High Chrysler-Building Boots
I’m in love with the Paul Andrew Chrysler-Building boots that I saw in a Bergdorf Goodman catalog. Maybe I can wear them with my Zang Toi gown that depicts the Time Warner Center and the Hearst Tower … … and accessorize with my Taxi and Passenger Maneater ring, which is engraved with the Brooklyn Bridge….
Foot Fetish: Vintage Famolare
I’ve developed a strange desire for a pair of 1970s Famolare shoes with wavy, rubber soles. I never had a pair in the ’70s — or even wanted them at that age — but I remember tagging along with my mother while she shopped for shoes. I remember the smell of the rubber Famolare soles….
Foot Fetish: Hi-Wedge Sneakers
I’ve wanted a pair of high-wedge sneakers for a long time. Last year, I tried on these happy-looking See by Chloe sneakers, but they didn’t fit. I noticed this pair by Ash on Saks.com last weekend. They don’t make my heart sing so much that I want to order them, but if I wandered by…
Foot Fetish: Fluevog, McQueen, Ferragamo
When I was writing my post about Madonna’s ’80s lace-up booties, I had to do a lot of digging because every scrap of Madonna shoe information seemed to be about her pink Fluevogs in Truth or Dare. Despite all those references, I couldn’t find a photo. Then came Lady Miss Kier to the rescue! The…
Foot Fetish: World’s Sexiest Rain Boots
In 2007, I wrote about my search for attractive rain boots and my high-school-era dislike of duck shoes. If only these over-the-knee, high-heeled duck boots by Tommy Hilfiger had been available back in the day. While I’m in the “if only” mode … if only Sergio Rossi made these over-the-knee rain boots with heels! You’d…
Foot Fetish: Acne, Sergio Rossi, Bottega Veneta
Thanks to gorgeous blogger Deja Pseu for pointing out the lovely leopard Sergio Rossi boots. Very tempting. But I’ve been looking for gold boots since 2008. What do I have to do to get the shoe fairy to leave all three pairs under my pillow? The gold of the Bottega Veneta boots reminds me of…
