Diane von Furstenberg on the Sale!

Manolo says, for your Recession Thursday window shopping pleasure, here are the Diane von Furstenberg shoes on the sale, which have the stamp of the Manolo’s approval. This is the Alexandria from Diane von Furstenberg, the cut-out, peep-toe, ankle bootie that would be just the thing for the late summer evening, especially as it is selling for more than $200 off of the original price! The Manolo recommended these shoes back in January, (when he discussed that book Eat, Pray Love), the Lady from Diane von Furstenberg, at the full price. Imagine, then, his joy to see that they are…

Dior Intrigante Over-the-Knee Boots for the Monday

Manolo says, it is Monday and you have only been at your desk for two hours and already it has been one of those sort of days. And the rest of the week does not look so good, what with the deadlines that are racing at you and your general sense that things are collapsing around you. And then your boss comes in and drops the stack of files on your desk. “Need it pronto. Like yesterday, if possible.” “Arggggggggghhhhhh!” And suddenly you are looking around for the emergency exit chute. For if you could find that, together with the…

Manolo the Columnist: Hot Date from David Tate

Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, In early September, I will be attending my cousin’s wedding at a church in one of those snooty Philadelphia Main Line towns. My problem is that I’m six months pregnant with twins, and my feet have swelled to ridiculous proportions, meaning that all of my best shoes no longer fit.

What the Manolo Is…

Manolo says, it is Tuesday, time to see what the Manolo is… Watching… Listening to… Reading… This movie The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard, with Jeremy Piven, turned out to be the surprisingly funny movie.
