Manolo says, here are the few items that will perhaps amuse…
“There is always a ‘Queen shoe’ in each of my collections — a slightly lower shoe, with a square toe and a thicker heel,”
“And did I mention in my dream he was about four feet tall?”
Manolo says, it is the Tuesday, time to see what the Manolo is…
If, like the Manolo, you are the person who loves the archeology, the peculiarities of the langauges, and the puzzles, you will undoubtedly find this book, The Lost Langauges, most entertaining indeed.
Manolo says, the Carnivale of the Couture, it is now posted, or, as the Fashionable Kiffen has called it, The Carnivale of Trends
Manolo says, Ayyyyyy! This shoe, it has given the Manolo the migraine, with its fake printed purple crocodilian leather, the shaboom-boom tassles, and the stones of the rhine along the sole. It is the disaster, the very, very expensive disaster.
Manolo says, from the Manolo to all of his peeps…
Manolo says, the glory of his nostrils is terrible. He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men. He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted.
P.S. Depardieu!
Manolo says, the next Carnivale of the Couture, it will be held at the blog of the super fantastic Fashionable Kiffen. Here is the topic she has suggested, it is the good one.
What item/style/look do you wish would become a trend? Or what trend from the past would you like to resurrect?Personally, I think that hats are an under-rated accessory. Not baseball caps, or trucker hats (god, no), but fedoras, big floppy straw hats, newsboy caps, etc. A hat can take a boring outfit and elevate to instant chic - plus it will cover up a bad hair day!
Go forth and blog!
Manolo say, the most recent column of the Manolo for the Express of the Washington Post it is now available for the downloading.
Today, the Manolo receives the request from the young reader.
Dear Manolo,I was wondering if you could help me pick out a pair of wedges. It’s kind of complicated because I am only 12 years old, soon to be 13. I am also mostly broke. I would love for you to reccomend to me a pair of springy summer wedges that I can afford and are not too expensive.
Sincerely, a Young Admirer,
Margo
Ayyyyyyy! This sort of the letter is is so very gratifying!
It demonstrates that the Manolo’s insidious scheme to implant the love of the super fantastic shoes into the hearts of younger generation, it is succeeding. Soon, legions of the pre-teens will be following the advice of the humble shoeblogger, stalking through the local malls looking for the boutiques of the Jimmy Choo and the Marc Jacobs.
Of the course, the Manolo he also loves this letter because it is so simple and innocent, and because it does not contain the laundry list of the various ailments and malformations of the feets.
Yes, it is true, even the Manolo experiences the compassion fatigue.
Sometimes he wearys of hearing about the bunions and the hammer toes and the questions that begin “does Christian Louboutin make shoes for my size 17 feet, which by the way, are also exceedingly flat and excessively wide?”
There is so much suffering in the world, and the Manolo can do so little to alleviate it.
But, look! It is now spring! And the young Margo needs the new shoes!
So, here is cute and affordable pair of the espadrille wedges from the Somethin’ Else by Skechers. Are they not, just like the letter from the Margo, adorable?
Manolo says, apparently, the global warming it has rendered the conditions of the Arctic quite bearable.
