Manolo’s Shoe Blog

Manolo says, it is springtime! We must have something simple, colorful and fun to express our joy at the new season; shoes such as these flat sandals from Anne Klein New York.

Manolo says, this pretty, low-heeled dress sandal, the Copley from the Anne Klein New York is on sale, 24% off of the usual price, the savings of nearly $60 of the American dollars!

This is the sort of shoe that would become the staple in your closet, something you could wear on many occasions and never be out of style.

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

Dear Manolo,

I love the shoes you recommend, but I’m working girl and too poor to afford most of them. Can you suggest something that would be appropriate for the office, but won’t completely empty my bank account?

Manolo says, as always the Manolo recommends saving the moneys carefully so that you might purchase the pair of the truly wonderful shoes. It is the eternal truism that nothing compares to the feeling of wearing well-made and beautiful shoes.

But, the Manolo knows that you are desperate, and that you need the new shoes now. You cannot show up for your very important job at the office of the Second Assistant Director to the Deputy Undersecretary of the Department of Homeland Phrenology in the barefeets. Your glowering boss, Madame Second Assistant Director McCracken, would not approve.

And so the Manolo, who understands what it is like to be poor, so poor that you must fashion your own super fantastic shoes out of the office products you have pilfered from the supply cabinet, will make the recommendation.

Look! Here is the Pfenning from the Anne Klein AK in the summery color called “kenya”. This is the professional shoe with the cute kiltie flair that looks good without rupturing your bank.

Manolo, yes, the Eurovision includes the divine Miss Verka Seduchka, but this does not obviate the fact that the contest is still the blight upon the long-suffering peoples of Europe.

Here are yet more reasons to outlaw, on the grounds of public mental health, the Eurovision.

Would it surprise you to learn this is the French entry?

Manolo says, today is the Black Friday, the craziest shopping day of the year, and your young nephew has demanded the new Crunk-Dancing Tickle Me Elmo Extreme (Now With Twice the Giggling Power!). This means that you must forcefully wade into the surging, angry mass of humanity at the Target store and attempt to extract the ticklish Elmo from the clutches of the mindless mob.

Trust the Manolo, you will need the aggressive, militaristic boot to see you through this ordeal. Something that will allow you to kick the butt and take the names, something like this handsome boot from the Anne Klein New York.

Manolo says, here are the beautiful strappy mid-heel sandals from the Anne Klein New York. Exactly what the Dr. Manolo orders for the final week of the summer.

Manolo says, the weekend it is coming, and perhaps you are going out to somewhere stylish, where the simple black shoes with the handsome classic lines are needed, yes?

Well, here is just such the shoe from the Anne Klein New York. Even the better it is on the sale, more than 50% off of the regular price! The savings of over $125 of the American dollars.

Manolo says, once again the Manolo he is being besieged by the poor girls who need the help finding the affordable shoes. Letters like this one below, they are typical.

Dear Manolo,

I need shoes like a fish needs water, but I don’t have any money. Please, help me.

Your devoted fan,

Diana.

As always the Manolo he tells the poor girls to save their moneys and buy the most super fantastic shoes. Nothing can compare to the confidence and pleasure one finds in wearing the beautiful, well-made shoes.

Yet, at the same of the times, the Manolo knows what it is like to be poor, so poor that you must construct your own super fantastic shoes out of the subscription inserts found in the fashion magazines you have retrieved from the dumpster behind the offices of the Conde Nast.

And so the Manolo he would recommend to his poor friends the shoes of the AK Anne Klein, as being stylish and affordable. Here are three that have especially struck the fancy of the Manolo, all of which sell for under $100 of the American dollars.

This smart high-heeled loafer, it is the handsome office shoe, one that would serve the poor girl well while she saves her moneys.

This slingback, it would be good for both the office and the dinner afterwards.

Here is the lower heeled pump that one would not be ashamed to wear to the office.

Yes, these inexpensive shoes they are undoubtedly made in the China, from leather whose provenance it is perhaps best described as “dubious”, but the designs they the good, and the shoes themselves they will keep the poor girl shod until she can afford something better.
