After doing a line of jewelry with Robert Lee Morris, the twins are now teaming up with Steve Madden on Elizabeth and James shoes.
The question our friends at Fashionista are asking is will they be affordable shoes a la Madden’s usual sold alongside $700 dresses, or will we be seeing the advent of $500 Steve Madden pumps?
Check out Botkier’s Zoe pump, $420, on Michelle Trachtenberg! The shoe looks much cooler and less loafer-like on Michelle than it does on the Botkier Web site. We’re glad we got another look at this one!
Michelle wears them in black, but we like the gunmetal patent or liquid metal options better. There’s definitely been a ruffle vibe on the spring runways, so these may carry you through winter and beyond!
What happens when you put Katy Perry and Steve Madden in the same Lower Eastside Steve Madden store? Well you get music and some very cool shoes! Katy Perry performed live at the store to celebrate the launch of www.stevemaddenmusic.com in June and the I had to share this clip because it has the cutest snippet of Steve singing “I kissed a shoe and I liked it” (at about 1:26 seconds) – we can tell Steve, after all you made quite a career out of it.
We showed you Hollywould’s ready-to-wear collection yesterday and now we’re back with what the brand is really known for – shoes. (Bags, too!) You’ll see some of the muted pastels and sea-inspired hues of the clothing line, but more brights and variety.
We came across these Chloe raised leaf boots, $1,495, looking for a yay or nay for this week. But we decided they’re a yay and just wanted to show you anyway.
They’re the kind of detailed shoe that can take you aback at first but when you really look at them are totally wearable. The side-zip boot features leather and suede leaves and walked the Chloe runway.
Even the most dedicated high heel devotee knows it’s wise to always have a cute pair of flats on hand.
Well how about a cute pair that’s also a classic, a legend among flats? Like this Repetto ballet flat. Similar pairs would run you around $160 new and this seller says these originally cost $189. These are a size 38 and fit like a 7-1/2 to an 8.
The auction ends tomorrow, and the bidding is currently up to $10.50 so chances are you’ll get a deal.
If your summer wardrobe is starting to wilt in the heat, here are a few suggestions from the girls at WhoWhatWearDaily on the key accessories for this season.
Yves Saint Laurent new arrivals are in on Saks Fifth Avenue’s Web site, and we zeroed in on these Tribute Platform T-straps, $995.
In a classic purple and gold color combo and intricate suede straps are just gorgeous. They also come in black if you want something more wearable, but if you’re going for YSL, just go for it.
From the fall 2008 ready to wear accessories collection, this statement shoe would surely overpower anything else you were wearing – which can be good or bad.
The yellowy-green-gray color palette throws an extra twist into an already twisty and turny design. What do you think, yay or nay?
But what we really want to do is save them for fall and wear them with colorful tights! When a shoe has such seasonless possibilities, you know it’s a keeper.
For a sexier look, choose them in black and wear them with everything.
As is often the case with designer-inspired items, these Bona Drag gladiator sandals take a runway item and make it not only cheaper, $58, but more wearable.
These sandals are all-black with a more streamlined, less Lego-like look to them than the designer originals. Each buckle along the leg is adjustable for a perfect fit, though once you’ve got them how you like them there is a zipper entry.
Vegans and bargain hunters alike will also enjoy the “man made leather.”
Most of us think we’re giving our feet a break when we slip on flip flops for a majority of the summer, but apparently we’re wrong.
They’re so comfy compared to our sky-high heels we like to wear our thong and flat sandals as often as we can, and that’s the problem according to New York City podiatrist Dr. Oliver Zong.
According to Dr. Zong, “a soft-soled shoe generally does not allow the foot to naturally roll from heel to toe since it generally has a softer midfoot – and the lack of support will generally cause more injury then good.”
