Manolo’s Shoe Blog

Manolo says, the Fashion is the Verb blog has posted the topic for the very next Carnivale of the Couture.

My question to you all is this: What movie do you credit with being responsible for the biggest Fashion Don’ts? In other words- Which movie started off clothing trends that never should have been.

For me, many movies come to mind, but the one that stands out the most, is actually one of my guilty pleasures.

You must go read the whole thing, for her own answer to this question it is both correct and brilliant.

Here is the list of the next few blogs who will host the Carnivale of the Couture.

Week of the Monday, June 5th - The Space Between My Ears
Week of the Monday, June 12th - The Sewing Divas
Week of the Monday, June 19th - About Shoes
Week of the Monday, June 26th - Style Bard

Several peoples have inquired about the “rules” for the hosting of the Carnivale, to which the Manolo has replied that they are very simple: Pick the topic, make the announcement, collect the posts, make the links, post the Carnivale!

The Manolo would also wish you to know that step of choosing the topic it is not absolutely necessary.

If you are the next host of the Carnivale and you cannot devise the suitable topic, do not panic. Many other blog carnivals do not have the weekly topic, in the stead they ask each participant to select what they believe to be their best post from the previous week, which then becomes the submission for the carnival.

So, if you cannot produce the topic, announce that it is the potluck week, and ask for the best posts from the previous week….et voila! The Carnivale it is ready.

Manolo says, the latest Carnivale of the Couture it is now available at the website of the Style Graduate, and the topic it is straight from the fashion runway to the costume party.

Manolo says, the Style Graduate, she has posted her topic for the next Carnivale of the Couture.

For this week’s Carnivale, I want to know what runway look you would wear as a Halloween costume. And no cheating; it has to be an outfit actually sent down a runway by a designer! So go forth, fashion bloggers, and find photos of your costumes!

This it is the excellent but most incredibly difficult topic.

It is difficult because has has so many costumery possibilities from which to choose. Would the Manolo go as the Indian Chief or the Dread Pirate? The Gangster of Love or the Napoleon XIV?

Perhaps the answer it is the Harlequin Pimp!

Ayyy! Too many choices!

Manolo says, you must at this immediate moment go to the blog of the Bargain Queen so that you may read the latest Carnivale of the Couture.

Manolo says, the Bargain Queen she has posted the topic for the very next Carnival of the Couture, and it is the good one.

What is your best-ever bargain? Where did you find it, how much was it and why is it your favourite?

The best of all the bargains? This question is the the excellent question, but oh so difficult to answer. The Manolo must think!

Manolo says, here is the schedule for the next few Carnivales of the Couture.

Week of the Monday, May 15th - The Bargain Queen
Week of the Monday, May 22nd - The Style Graduate
Week of the Monday, May 29th - Fashion is a Verb
