Build the Outfit #4…The Winner!

Manolo says, the Manolo’s friends at the Shoeflyer have picked the winner of the Manolo’s latest Build the Outfit contest.

And the winner is….Chels. It wasn’t easy but three of us came with the unanimous decision. That said, we’d like to give honoroble mention to second placed Atari. We love Atari’s choice of matching the Demeter with a white outlet skirt. However, it was Chels proposed outfit that took the cake.

Chels truly knows fashion. The Birds of Paradise dress is both modest and flirty. Best of all Chels makes every color in the dress pop with her subtle choice in accessories; from the antique looking twin necklace to the simply stunning gold flower cuff, which happens to be our favorite accessory from all the entries. What we truly love in Chels’s ensemble is her approach of capturing a feminine look without compromising class or function. In short, we’d call the outfit a perfect combination for the summery shining woman of today.

Thanks for all the great entries and Congratulations Chels.

Indeed, congratulations to the Chels.

And now, the Manolo must again note that all of the entries were most super fantastic, and this not the mere puffery, as the Manolo has been truly impressed by the talent for styling shown by his many internet friends.

Finally, the Manolo must thank the peoples at the Shoefly for sponsoring the contest, and to the peoples at the Shoeflyer for judging it.

Momento Mori in Kitten Heels

Manolo says, in Ancient Rome, when the victorious general paraded through the streets in triumph, the slave stood just behind, whispering into the general’s ear, “Remember, You are mortal.”

Manolo’s Monday Miscellany

Manolo says, here are the few links which may perhaps amuse…

Throngs of women, sweating & pushing & vomiting on one another in a furious race to the choice markdowns.


And I was almost home free — I mean I was literally 20 feet from the elevator that would take us to the parking deck, when I felt it happen.

Then there is the obvious correlation, these are just another pair of freaky hooker shoes.

Manolo says, here it is the last Monday in June and you are still chained to your desk, working for the man every night and day. But the girl can dream, can she not?

And what better way to dream than by thinking of shoes, beautiful shoes from Italian designers in exotic metallic colors, such as these expensive anthracite and gold toe-ring sandals from the Giuseppe Zanotti.

The Beautiful Foot, Part II

Manolo says, just the other day, the Manolo wrote the following,

The bunion in these fetish shoes belongs to that dreary spotlight hound, the Posh Spice.

You may be assured that if she–the connoisseur of plastic surgery–has not yet had the feet operated upon it is because she has not yet thought it fashionable.

And now comes this news from the Daily Mail.

The scale of Victoria’s painful bunion problem was laid bare recently when she was snapped in a pair of spiked Mulberry sandals. Now a friend of the former Spice Girl tells me: ‘Victoria has had enough of having bad feet and has made some early-stage enquiries about having her rather unpleasant bunions removed.

‘They are causing her a considerable amount of pain, so much so that she thinks the only thing to do is to have surgery. She knows the operation is unpleasant and she will be out of action for a while, but she thinks it may be worth it.

‘It is something she will probably have done in the States when the family is fully settled in LA.’

When I bumped into 33-year-old Victoria recently, she candidly confessed her feet were giving her a headache. ‘I always wear stilettos but they have given me awful feet,’ she said.

‘I hate my feet, they are the most disgusting thing about me. Part of the reason I wear such amazing shoes is to take the eye away from my horrid feet and on to the stunning shoes.’

The Manolo stands corrected.
