Manolo says, so it is not even officially winter yet, and already you are sick of the snow and the cold and the slippery ice on every surface, to say nothing of the incessant playing of “Silver Bells”.

So, what must one do?

The Manolo suggests visiting the Stuart Weitzman Spring Trunk Sale at Nordstroms, where you may look at the beautiful shoes from the Stuart Weitzman Spring Collection, 2008, and imagine that the first crocus has just emerged, signaling the return of warmer weather, and gorgeous sandals.

By the way, if you have the gigantic wide foot, these beautiful shoes are available up to the size 14 EEE, but only if you preiorder for spring delivery.
