As I’ve said before, I rarely get buyer’s remorse, but I occasionally get non-buyer’s remorse. I know these Pucci boots were marked 8.5 and I’m usually size 6, but I regret not going into Goodwill and trying them on, just in case. I spotted these in June and then they were gone … I can’t…

Throwback Thursday: Daisies and Dave Stewart
Erica M. Blumenthal, writing for the New York Times Thursday Styles section, has declared that this is the year of the daisy: “Expect a floral explosion as spring fashion starts to arrive in stores, and no flower is getting more love this season than the daisy. The relentlessly cheerful print, iconic in a grungy way…
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….
Throwback Thursday: Those Capezio Jazz Shoes
I am STILL looking for that photo of me and Roger Daltrey in England in 1983. I keep finding more photos from that trip, but no Roger yet. WTF. I must have put the picture in a “safe place.” I wish I’d stop putting things there, because the “safe place” and the “Bermuda Triangle” are…
Shoes in Magazines, on TV and on Restaurant Tables
Gladiator sandals really are the shoe of the moment. After writing about them in yesterday’s post, I spotted them in today’s New York Observer. This look is going to be wildly overdone this season, but I’m going to take advantage of its pervasiveness and stock up on styles so I have them to wear when…
Minnetonka Upgrade?
I do love those old-school Minnetonka moccasins from my last post, but what’s a moccasin lover to do when she’s invited to a black-tie soirée? Upgrade to mirrored Gucci moccasins, of course! These are my kind of crazy, but when it comes to online window shopping, I’m still more in love with the pink mullet…
And Now for Minnetonka Moccasins
Yesterday’s post on knee-high gladiator sandals reminded me of my previously expressed love for knee-high Minnetonka moccasins. That inspired me to check Minnetonka’s site for gladiator sandals. They do have a couple of styles. Not knee-high ones, but you can get the ankle-high look at a reasonable price. There are also summertime variations on the…
Mad Men and Gladiators
The title of this post refers to Mad Men and sandals, not Mad Men and the “gladiators in suits” populating Scandal. I admit that I have only seen one episode of Scandal, but I’ll have time to catch up now that MrB and I have gotten 72 episodes of Mad Men out of the way….
Marc by Marc Jacobs and My Yellow Rain Boots
Marc Jacobs today confirmed that his lower-priced Marc by Marc Jacobs line would be absorbed into the main Marc Jacobs brand. The move was first reported by WWD last week. My main interest in this stems from a Glamour story on the best looks of the Marc by Marc Jacobs line over the years. It…
What Wendy Wore: Striped Wedges by — Uh-Oh!
While visiting my parents in Florida last week, my gorgeous mother and I scoped out ultra-chic store Marissa Collections. I wanted to see if my jewelry designs would be a good fit for Marissa’s luxury jewelry department (yes!) but, of course, we couldn’t resist browsing the shoe department. I’d been keeping an eye out for…
