The Web Snob

Manolo says, here is the best fashion blogging from this week… Stiletto Jungle thinks that Rick Owens Wedge Clogs are the only clogs worth wearing. All Lacquered Up attempts a water marble manicure and shares her frustrations with the technique. Allie is Wired discusses Jessica Simpson‘s questionable personal hygiene. Frugal Snob options for a very popular IT Bag on Bag Snob! If you have previously been opposed to waterproof mascara, try this Beauty Snob option to see if you change your mind. Coquette can’t decide which stylish pair of espadrille wedges to get, so she may have to get them…

Manolo the Columnist: Evie from Kate Spade

Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, I’m getting married in two months to the best guy in the world, pretty much my Prince Charming. Thus far, all of the wedding planning has gone as smoothly as possible except for one thing: I’m 6’1” tall, exactly one half inch taller than my husband-to-be. I have no problem wearing heels when we’re together, and he likes it that I’m tall, so normally I wouldn’t consider not wearing heels. But, for my wedding, I don’t want to tower over him by three…

Anglomania + Wing from Vivienne Westwood

Manolo says, one of the Manolo’s internet friends has asked the Manolo the question. Dearest Manolo, I have discovered the cleverly concealed portal to shoe paradise….Zappos Couture My question is, can I wear these shoes and not fall over? Besos, Beth Ayyyyy! The real question is not “could you”, but “should you”! On the one of the hands, this shoe is so wonderfully hilarious and unusual that you would feel bouyant all day long. On the other of the hands, small children and drunken men would point and laugh at you, which you may, or may not enjoy. On the…

The Maxi-Dress Moment, Pt 2

Manolo says, it is the summer of the Maxi-Dress! Here is the Regan Maxi-Dress from Lilly Pulitzer, the white strapless maxi with the so-called “burnout” tropical leaf pattern. And now, we must need some colorful shoes to add interest and flavor to the dish. The Manolo recommends pink! On the left is the Metro T-Strap Wedge Sandals from Kate Spade. On the right is the Dolce & Gabanna Estelle Wedge Sandal (which you may recognize as having been recommended by the Manolo in the green color the couple months ago). Of the course, you are not limited to pink with…
