Stella McCartney Rubber Wedge Boots

Kristopher — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 22:49:37 +0000

Hating

In a shiny, soft gray, with a big black button and baby platform, something about this Stella McCartney rubber wedge boots vibes a little 35-year-old girl.

But the real crime is that these aren’t leather…

Donna Karan Collection Shoes K Is…

Kristopher — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 14:47:08 +0000

Wanting.

I love stingray, especially in steel, especially over steel heels. The Donna Karan Collection shoes I’m “wearing” I found on sale at Loehmann’s, which is my guilty pleasure: I love the hit-or-miss hunt there. Too bad these darlings weren’t also lying on some shoddy table, tagged less than a benjie…

Wearing.

You need to see the python in person: it’s a sharp chartreuse, and the scales are flaking off softly, so you get a rich pastry texture. That five inch heel doesn’t hurt how your legs look, either…

Hating.

The beauty of Donna Karan Collection shoes I love are in their bold simplicity. Cheap baubles are just distracting…

Stella McCartney Espadrilles K Is…

Kristopher — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 14:21:31 +0000

Wanting: Stella McCartney Espadrille with Closed Toes

Espadrilles are choice for summer: an ambitious arch is easy to wear when its woven into a relaxed wedge. I’m a sucker for closed-toe espadrilles: I like the classic contrast with the open back…

Wearing: Stella McCartney Espadrilles with Scarf Ties

I bought these Stella McCartney espadrilles on sale at Intermix and wore them every day on my vacay. The knotted scarf ties are great, but what really got me was that woven wedge. I love the lines; it exaggerates the arch of the shoe…

Hating: Flat Stella McCartney Espadrilles

All you need to know is that these Stella McCartney espadrilles are flat…

Casadei Mules K Is…

Kristopher — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 15:09:26 +0000

Wanting.

Casadei mules slip you into easy glamour – a sky-high slide vibes so ’30s-screen-siren dressing room. I love the rich minimalism of these horn-heeled Casadei mules…

Wearing.

I bought these Casadei mules for $150 on Amazon — a total fluke (and you can still get them in white). Just a few straps of leather and a pin-thin stiletto, the shoes wear like air. And I adore that shimmering nude leather — the Casadei mule disappears into your foot, giving your leg length…

Hating.

With a mirror gold platform, an inch of bright white to set off a turquoise patent leather strap, maybe I’m just jealous I don’t have manmade breasts and an Estonian billionaire first ex-husband to match…
