Stepping up For Spring
Manolo says, in celebration of the season, the redoubtable Bill Cunningham of the New York Times has a marvelous little video about the springtime shoes seen on the street.

It’s so funny how he describes the shoes being worn as if he’s never seen or heard of their makers before, whereas I recognized about 95% of them right off the bat.
It seems our shoes are on a later delivery than these ladies.

What a “Mahvellous” video, I was both relieved and dissappointed it didn’t have a “click and buy” section

I like the cream/chocolate striped platform heels he was talking about. Those would be a nice find!
I also liked the floral shoes. I’d have to disagree about the pattern being somewhat from the 50’s, though they did have a retro look to them, I’d say they reflect more of the 70’s fashion trends. (which I love by the way)

I think we’re all safer without a click and buy section anywhere near this blog, that video, or any of these shoes :)
but can you imagine if this blog at least had one? talk about your affiliate income!

I was struck by how many of these women were wearing these lighter, spring-ier shoes with opaque black hose. It seemed such a mis-match to me. There were a number of really lovely shoes in the video, but the extreme heel heights were a little off-putting on some.

Maybe I’m not fashion forward enough, but I really don’t get the black tights (too opaque to be pantyhose, aren’t they?) with the strappy sandals and white shoes. It just looks odd to me.
