On the heels of paris fashion week - anything is possible

March 25th, 2008

with Paris fashion week but a distant memory, our minds are still reeling from the runway shoes we’ll covet—until they are tangible this fall—then they will be ours! worth mentioning: Louis Vuitton’s strappy buckle pump with design for an exposed heel, Balenciaga’s above-the-knee slouchy leather boot, or the pointed-toe cut-out booties shown at Chloé.

New York Times fashion street reporter Bill Cunningham was there. and, we completely appreciate his foot fetish—see and hear his commentary here, and that’s all we have to say about that. no wait, who didn’t notice the stocking paired with… everything…?!!

Carlos santana and mariah carey at macy’s

March 25th, 2008

yes, carlos santana — THAT carlos santana — has a line of shoes. why, you ask? in 1998 he and his wife started the milagro foundation which serves the needs of children and youth. there’s added information in every shoe box.

if you’ve watched any tv recently, you’ve no doubt seen the macy’s commercials with celebs enticing us to buy their wares. if you haven’t, take a look:

this “Cargo” wedge, while not my favorite, might be yours. at $99 it’s a pretty reasonable spot-on trendy silhouette. if you no likey, check out the other carlos by carlos santana shoes at macys.com

thanks styledash for the posting today.

$24K for a “sex & the city” new york city whirl-wind tour

April 1st, 2008

now, it’s a shoo-in to walk in the “sex and the city” characters’ footsteps. if you followed the series, you no doubt at one point identified with one particular character. perhaps at times, all of them. you got hives when you tried on a wedding dress for a date with the wrong man? or, grappled with the “right” wig after heroically dealing with cancer. moved to another borough for the sake of the “kid?” or, wished a “steve” adored you, too.

today’s nydailynews.com reports on a dream vacation in nyc, walking the same steps as the sex and the city ladies. (though i’ve done some research, can’t find Konstantinakos’ firm, and welcome you to help me find out how to get more info)

“it’s a real fantasy for women,” said Joanne Konstantinakos, 36, founder of the Destination on Location a new york-based travel company. “they still talk about this show all around the world.”

don’t have the 24 large? here’s one for forty! dollars, that is.

obviously from the male perspective, “Did you know that the hit HBO television series Sex and the City, about a self-centered clotheshorse and the women who indulge her, has been made into a movie, to be released nationwide on May 30th?” gawker reports on the press kit that’s being sent around to promote the film.

Oprah and the cast of sex and the city

May 5th, 2008

if you were one of the say two women who missed last week’s reunion of the sex and the city cast on oprah, we’ve found a few clips for you. youtube is alive with them! my girls and i have since gabbed about how healthy SJP’s hair looked, or how perfectly proportioned miss davis’ perfectly complected face is. and did kim cattrall say she’s hit the big five-oooh! oh, she’s fab!!!

yes, we’re all excited! wonder if the film premier evokes years from now questions like, “do you remember what you were wearing to the premier?” yes, you’ll remember. sites like stuff new zealand purports Sarah Jessica Parker has 81 outfit changes in sex and the city: the movie. you do the math, at 135 minutes, that’s like new threads every 1.66 minutes. we fashionistas should all be so lucky. and the shoes!!!! still looking for that number. you stay tuned.

may 30th. see you there by the way. oprah said so, “we owe it to ourselves america to make this an event for girlfriends to remember!”

Sex and the city ~ one day to catch up…

May 28th, 2008

with one day, count it O-N-E day until sex and the city - the movie opens in theaters… you may not have time to run your last-minute marathon of the six seasons of tv shows… last week my sis and i went through my collection of dvd’s and watched a sprinkling of our favorite episodes, much to my father’s chagrin. “bells of the ball, dad! come watch it with us!” he grumbled and stayed right until miranda and steve found themselves looking at prosthetic you know what’s. “oops, i dropped the ball,” miranda squirms as she squeezes too tight. that’s good tv dad. he will never find its charms.

amazon sent me a sex and the city email today with an interview of candace bushnell. she chats about lipstick jungle, but eventually gets us to the good stuff. listen here. she’s got something to say about her own “mr. big.” you’ll prolly see the movie, then if you don’t already have them… want to get the whole collection for keepers.

visit our very own amazon store with many shoe-related books and such. there’s books on fashion, photography, models, sex and the city and of course, SHOES. am i missing anything?
