Peek-a-boo!

Manolos on display at Saks Fifth Avenue.
They're beautiful, I admit—but my
little dogs would be barking after teetering
along for even one short block in those things.
Personally, I'd like to believe that we
don't have to suffer in order to be "fashionable."
How about you?

Kick up your (5-inch) heels!

Passed by Saks Fifth Avenue on my way to work
last month, and every window was devoted
to that guy who makes those shoes that I can
neither afford nor wear.  Oh well.

That's Our World

It's a New York bargain!
But only if you consider 50%
off $900+ a bargain. I stopped
into the Manolo sale yesterday, and
there were quite a few women buying.
As gorgeous as the shoes are
(and this was the most over-the-top
design I saw), I still managed to resist.

Thursday Challenge — "shoes"

These fabulous shoes were made by Signor Albion,
cobbler extraordinaire, in Florence, Italy
(where they know something about shoemaking).

And this is Sr. Albion (shot by
my daughter Lila 12 years ago).

abc wednesday - U is for "uncomfortable"

These are featured in one of Lord and Taylor's

holiday windows. I realize they're Badgley Mischka, 

no doubt cost a not-so-small fortune, and 

therefore should by rights be super-comfy. 

 But I'll bet you the price of these 

shoes that they're not only killer to look at 

but also to wear. Hey, the height of the 

heels alone would have me hobbling immediately!
