Manolo the Columnist

Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post.

Dear Manolo,

In September I’m getting married in an informal ceremony on a Hawaiian beach. I’ll be wearing a vivid ocean blue jersey sundress with simple Tahitian pearl jewelry and white orchids in my hair. I’m not going to wear shoes on the beach, but for the dinner after the ceremony, I’ll need a pair of sandals, something affordable that’s pretty but not too fussy.

Manolo says, how the Manolo well remembers the single beach wedding he attended, many years ago, in the seaside resort mecca of Panama City, Florida. (Where all of your wildest mini-golf and ribald t-shirt desires may be satisfied!)

It was the beautiful and moving ceremony, the bride in the lovely, white sundress-ish thing, the groom so handsome in his tuxedo from the Jimmy Buffet “Margauritaville” collection. The Manolo nearly wept with joy for his friends.

And then the sand fleas came.

Afterward, the fragrance of calamine lotion and domestic beer scented the magic Redneck Riviera night.

Ayyy! Hawaii! You will need the most beautiful shoes possible for your festival of poi, roast pig, and lifelong commitment.

Here is the , the simply beautiful and affordable sandal that is available in 14 colors, including this marvelous platinum..

    Very nice pick! Can’t go wrong with platinum!




  2. Emily Says:

    Lovely choice, Manolo! And rest assured, there will be no Redneck Riviera :)




  3. Karen Says:

    Good call, Manolo! Now, all I need is a place to wear ’em…

    Gorgeous sandals! Fortunately, from what I can remember Hawaii is mercifully free of sand fleas. They have a plague of doves, but as plagues go, that’s pretty mild, especially for those of us who love hats anyway.

    OH! i loooooove those. they are so romantic! just perfect for a beach wedding because they can easily be slipped off later on to frolic in the sand :)

    What beautiful heels, simple yet very elegant. Love the Italian leather and satin. The straps are perfect for those type of occasions. I think the Wine Satin color is really cute too.
