Hating
I’m over extra-padded, peepshow-style platforms. As much as I love a little Beyonce theater, real style is about choosing fashion that frames your beauty, not distracts from it. So I dig Brian Atwood “Candy” sandals — the shoe’s minimalist architecture isn’t about distracting glitz, but making your leg longer. You’ve got to have at least one heel high enough to style your leg a straight line from the tips of your toes to your thigh — that’s heaven.
3½” of stiletto won’t do that, though. Skip this version of Brian Atwood “Candy” sandals in black, and buy the taller Brian Atwood “Candy” sandal in white, for less dough. If five inches of pure stiletto sounds intimidating, buy the shoe anyway, and wear it around your room, without anyone or anything else…

Wanting + Wearing
I bought this Brian Atwood “Candy” slingback in black last week when I was in New York. I walked into Intermix in Soho sporting a pair of black patent Lerre sandals, peeptoe’d with a slingback, but walked out in these Brian Atwood “Candy” sandals. I hate owning two of a kind of anything — and I’ve also got a pair of black Givenchy slingback peeptoes — but these Brian Atwood sandals are more simply sophisticated, and that extra inch of heel stretches your legs another mile.
Now I want the white patent Brian Atwood “Candy” slingback. Five inches of pin-thin stiletto, strapped to your feet with two slivers of patent leather. It’s that architecture — and how it restructures your walk — that gets me…

With only Al Qaeda up to its usual hijinx, major news turns to chatting about Miss New Jersey’s “not ladylike” photos: she’s drinking, she’s holding up two pumpkins to her breasts on Halloween, she’s laughing while her boyfriend bites her her bra.
Le shocking.
Though the photos were formerly Facebook’ed, Madame Jersey’s allegedly being blackmailed with the pics and asked to not compete for Miss America’s crown.
Hard luck: now Miss New Jersey–whom I didn’t even know existed–gets to endear her generically pretty face to America on CBS and CNN, she’ll probably get offered a reality TV show, and she–
Could likely just rock these ladylike Brian Atwood shoes and walk away from any doubts of her being anything but.
