Manolo’s Thursday Miscellany

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

Cracked an egg on your shoe? No need to break out the Tide Pen. Ombre omelette footwear is the new In, baby.

Oh, Peter Fox, you kooky guy. I like a little embroidery as much as the next gal, but this is just too much of a good thing. As in, so much of a good thing that the thing itself has become bad.


So. While I freely admit that I am not fit to go among civilized people (and certainly not fit to give them advice — in the area of spending & finances, especially), I don’t care. Because I can just sit at home in my new shoes and the rest of the world can go kiss my big… toe.

Prada Linea Rossa T-Strap Sandal

Vernice Linea Rossa Silver Sandal from Prada Manolo Likes! Click!

Manolo says, it is odd, but when the Manolo looks at this beautiful Prada Linea Rossa t-strap sandal the first word that leaps into his mind is “honesty”.

Yes, this shoe is beautiful, but it is not frivolous. It does not try to beguile you with false charm and needless frippery. It simply stands there before you, unadorned, possessed only of the natural beauty of its clean lines.

It is like the handsome woman in the full-bloom of middle age, demanding that you judge her not by the shallow and popular standards of our day, but by that which is eternal and unchanging. That there are many who will not recognize her beauty does nothing to diminish it.

Whose Shoes Wednesday…The Answer!

Manolo asked, whose shoes?

Manolo answers, it is the Celine Dion!

Congratulations to the Manolo’s internet friend Minky who was the first to correctly identify the owner of these shoes.

It must be noted, that the Manolo reacts to Celine Dion’s voice, much as one imagines the smarter breeds of dogs react to the piercing dog whistles, by whining, running frantically in circles, and attempting to make it stop.

And as for her fashion sense…
