I saw the brown version of these shoes on singer Joss Stone earlier this month<\/a>. Joss was promoting a separate collaboration she’s done with Nine West called Vintage America<\/a>. The name of the collection made me a little giggly because Joss is neither vintage nor American. She was born in 1987 and she’s English. (Rule of thumb for analyzing age: you’re not “vintage” until you’re old enough to be gorgeous 14-year-old blogger Tavi<\/a>‘s mother.) Gorgeous blogger Stacy of taffetadarlings was giggly<\/a> because Joss is known for not wearing shoes at all. Still, the shoes were cool and Joss herself was absolutely beautiful and delightful.<\/p>\n

Joss politely asked for the name of my red lipstickA\u00a0 (MAC’s Lasting Lust again<\/a> — when is MAC going to hire me as the official Lasting Lust spokesmodel?) and volunteered to crouch down so I could take a picture of her multicolored manicure and pedicure together. Note that her fingernails match her scarf in the photo above.<\/p>\n

Another great thing about Joss: She played Anne of Cleves in The Tudors<\/a> and, as I once proved, Anne of Cleves was a damn genius<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I posed for a picture with Joss but it’s too traumatic to share because she’s tall and thin and I was wearing an unflattering vintage peasant dress that made me look like a stubby little mushroom in the shade of an elegant willow tree. I consoled myself by finding the perfect pair of evening shoes for the fall in the Nine West showroom. I need black suede heels to replace the 16-year-old Karl Lagerfelds<\/a> because, to no one’s surprise but mine, 16 years of wear isn’t kind to shoes.A\u00a0 I can’t wait till the Nine West pair hits the stores. I’m crazy about the platform, the square toe (very Alexander McQueen, I think) and the button detail on the back.<\/p>\n

I plan to wear these with everything — except that unfortunate peasant dress. The only place that dress is going is my friendly neighborhood thrift store. And, no, you don’t get to see a picture of it before it lands there. <\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
