Whose Shoes Wednesday…The Answer!

Manolo asked, whose shoes? Manolo answers, it is the Dame Judy Dench! Congratulations to the Manolo’s unnamed anonymous internet friend who was the first to identify this illustrious personage with the problem ankles.

Roberto Cavalli Sandal, Beautiful and not so Expensive

Manolo says, this is the sort of Cavalli shoe the Manolo loves, flashy, dramatic, and all-together beautiful. And the price is not outrageous. Why cannot all of the Cavalli shoes be like this?

Manolo’s Tuesday Miscellany

Manolo says, here are the few links which may perhaps amuse… Tell me this wouldn’t be the perfect footwear for a really well-styled lady superhero. In his book, Tonello, 49, an Osterville native, reveals how he cracked the code for jumping the waiting list to purchase Birkins whenever he pleased. Naturally, this code has something to do with large amounts of cash. Lately Mr. Henry has been thinking a lot about dirt.

Roberto Cavalli Wedge, Ugly and Expensive

Manolo says, this is the sort of atrocity that makes the Manolo waver between anger and despair, while the price leaves him gasping. P.S. Many thanks to the Manolo’s shoe-obsessed friend Wayne.

What the Manolo is…

Manolo says, it is Tuesday, time to see what the Manolo is… Reading… Listening to… Watching… At the beshest of the friend the Manolo recently watched Harold and Kumar Go to the White Castle. Happily, the Manolo is able to report that this movie is vastly more entertaining than expected, which is, when one thinks of it, perhaps not saying all that much. Still, there were the few genuine laughs, and the movie is not unpleasant in spirit and intent. Of the course, one would have to work very hard to surpass this movie as the gold standard in classic…

Miu Miu Raso Sandal for the Monday

Manolo says, after seeing so many super high shoes, this three inch heel Raso slingback sandal from Miu Miu seems somewhat restrained, this despite the refined exuberance of the bling-bling ornamentation. Simply put, it is gorgeous.

The Manolo Week in Review

Manolo says, here is the best of the week from the Manolosphere. Diablesse… El amor de mi vida, como príncipe de cuento de hadas, cruzó la pasarela luchando contra otros “guerreros” del staff que le lanzaban infames injurias: “¡Sin pisar la pasarela, por favooooorrrrrrrr!”. Patri… ¡¡En Manolo Moda nos gustan los zapatos!! Isidore Gallant… As a proponent of judiciously chosen ornament, Izzy thinks this is happy news. Plumcake… Everywhere I turn it seems that women are plucking their eyebrows into tiny squiggles that look like –and I’m sure you’ll pardon my indelicacy– the “boy” part of the boy-meets-girl part of…

Gwyneth Kills the Super Stiletto

Manolo says, the Manolo’s internet friend Linda Grant has alerted us to this article in the Guardian, which declares Gwyneth Paltrow’s new obsession with sky-high shoes to be the signal of stylistic decadence. It’s rare for an A-lister to sound the death knell on a trend – that honour usually goes to a first-division Wag. But, Gwyneth Paltrow may have done just that this week. After a month of tireless promotion for her new flick, Iron Man, wearing a selection of the most downright precarious heels known to womankind, even the most trend-indulgent among us have had to wonder whether…

Twinkle Toes Charm

Manolo says, Twinkle Toes Charms? They are brilliant! Why did the Manolo not think of them first?

Manolo’s Friday Miscellany

Manolo says, here are the few links which may perhaps amuse… While the shoes themselves wouldn’t be bad if they were destined for an orthopedic store specializing in footwear for women over 80, we all know that they are not. Beverly Hills Branchee! ..considered sufficiently important to warrant a UN press conference devoted to the subject.
