Manolo says, ayyyyyy! These golden gladiator thong things from the Chanel, they are the first time the Manolo has ever seen the sandals with cankles.
Via the Popsugar who has rightly called the shoes “hideous”.
Manolo says, it is Tuesday, time to see what the Manolo is…
It is with some trepidation that the Manolo begins the latest of the Umberto Eco novels.
As was the case with the previous one the Manolo he has had to enforce the year long period of cooling off following the publication, during which the Manolo has had to steel his nerves for the ordeal which would follow (and this one has the pictures!).
And, yet, despite this trepidation, the Manolo he is the undoubted and ardent fan of the Eco.
Manolo says, here are the pair of the simple, classic Cynthia Rowley flats that the Manolo finds most attractive.
These they are perhaps something you might wear with the light sweater and the a-line skirt that would twirl about you fetchingly as that handsome blonde man spins you across the floor for the last dance of the summer.
Manolo says, the end of the summer it is fast approaching, and once again the Manolo he will be soon be required, as he always is, to opine upon the issue of the white shoes after the Day of Labor.
However, in the meantime, let the Manolo say that there is one moment when the white shoes they are always appropriate…
P.S. Ayyyyy! The YouTube it is now not working.
Manolo says, the Manolo he has just discovered the Reel Clothes, the place where you can buy the actual clothes used in the actual movies.
Look! It is the Pam Anderson’s shoes !
And the Kevin Spacey’s toupee!
P.S. Many thanks to the City Rag for this.
Manolo says, the latest column of the Manolo it is available at the website of the Express of the Washington Post. Today’s topic it is the shoes for the poor librarian.
Dear Manolo,
I work in a library, so flats or small heels are the best. The one problem is that I have super fantastic shoe aspirations on a flip-flop budget. While I am saving up, are there any minorly fantastic shoes for me?
Eileen
Manolo says, the librarians they are so smart, knowing that even if you are the poor girl you must save the moneys so that you can purchase the most super fantastic shoes.
Of the course, even while they are saving the moneys the librarians they must have the shoes, as they cannot go barefeeted. No one wishes to see the toes while searching the stacks. It is distracting.
Yes, they could perhaps construct their own super fantastic shoes out of the pieces of the old card catalogs and the library paste, although, unless the librarians are as gifted as the Manolo in the fine art of improvisational cobbling the results they may not be pleasing.
This it is why the Manolo he would recommend for the fall, the pair of the low heeled boots from the Franco Sarto as being the shoes that are both attractive and attractively priced. Would they not look good with the right skirt, something for that moment when the horn-rimmed glasses are removed and the hair is undone?
Manolo says, the Gloria at the <3 Live, <3 Style blog she has posted the topic for the very next Carnivale of the Couture.
Have you ever worn or not worn a certain something that was probably not the smartest thing to do but you did it anyway because of the sake of fashion? Or being horribly embarassed? You did something fashion-associated that probably wasn’t practical and was punished in some way [suffering consequences by be it Mother Nature, or something or someone else]. Tell me your story!
Manolo says, behold the fashion icon!
Yes, the Cher she was the odd choice for the fashion icon, but otherwise, the Manolo he loved this challenge!
It was such the pleasant change from the previous challenge which involved, as the Manolo remembers it, making the polyester twin-sets for the Wal-Mart.
The results of this week, they did not disappoint, as the Michael Knight, who is the Manolo’s official favorite, was the winner. The Manolo he cannot heap enough of the praise on the Michael, who is talented, smart, gracious, kind, humble, and yet confident enough in his own abilites. He even loves his mama! Such the nice young man.
And, his outfit with the hot pants, it was the best by far.
Likewise, the hippy drippy stoner Bradley deserved to be sent away, if for no other reason than not knowing anything about the Cher and her “style”.
This it was also the week during which others things became apparent and official:
Vincent has no talent, except for the panic and the self-sabotage. Ayyyyyyy, this man, he needs to go away.
Barbie Boy Robert has no imagination, not even for something so obvious as to how to dress the Jackie O. Yes, perhaps he can sew, but his designs are blah, blah, blah. The rope belt on his jacket…please, do not make the Manolo comment upon such things.
Jeffery would be nothing without the gimmick of the aggressive neck tattoo. He is the whiner who does not even have the talent to start the good fight in the sewing room. Even the Madonna, who has worn many stupid things, would not have worn his outfit.
Angela, who only wishes to be loved in her own egomaniacally selfish and destructive way, is smart enough to have learned from her previous mistakes. Angela + Audrey Hepburn it should equal disaster, but oddly it did not. Perhaps it was the brief contact last week with the Laura and the Michael.
Speaking of the Laura, the Manolo is now waiting for her to show up one day in the coat made from the fur of the 101 dalmatians.
Of the course, the best news of the week was that the Michael Kors he has returned! Finally, we were given the weekly dose of the high-quality snark which our fragile systems and this show so desperately require.
