Manolo says, “First he girded his goodly greaves about his legs, making them fast with ankle clasps of silver; and upon his belly he set the cumberbund which Byblos had designed for him as the fashion frippery.”
Manolo says, after seeing this the Manolo now wishes to put on his boogie shoes.
P.S. Many thanks to the Manolo’s internet friends at the Shoe Blog who found this amusing video.
Manolo says, even though it is only Tuesday, it is never too early in the week to think about something super fantastic for the Friday night date with that sleek and cultured man in the Savile Row suit.
What’s that he said? Dinner at Daniel and then to the Met for Idomeneo? You are ready!
Manolo says, here are the few links which may perhaps amuse…
As the wise adage has it: Women brag about their newest clothing purchase, men their oldest.
Scratch the surface of DFS, and the lives of its sufferers grow increasingly bizarre.
Manolo says, Finally, the Dolce and the Gabbana are here to fix the computers!
Manolo says, it is Tuesday, time to see what the Manolo is…
The Manolo admits to being completely in love with the Cassandra Mortmain and her family.
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.
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.”
