Manolo says, yes, it is only Tuesday, and the recent economic news has been gloomy, but that does not mean that one cannot start thinking about what to wear this weekend. Look, here is the Khloe by Beverly Feldman, the elegant and luxurious ankle bootie with exactly the right amount of rhinestone bling.
What’s this? The Dow Jones Average had it’s single best day ever? Happy Days are here again! Celebrate in beautiful shoes!
Manolo says, here are the few links which may perhaps amuse…
The Official Beverly Feldman Blog!
Manolo says, this spring, the Manolo has decided that he (along with many of the major shoe designers) will be all about the beautiful, flowery, girly sandals.
Obviously, the Manolo’s friend Beverly Feldman has taken this message of blossoms and boughs to heart, for here is the Ondine, the super cute, super fantastic, kitten heel flowery sandal. It is wonderfully cheerful, no?
Manolo says, one of the Manolo’s internet friends has asked the Manolo the question.
My dearest Manolo,
It seems that my daily run combined with “excessive” (according to my doctor) wearing of stilettos have given me both a heel spur and plantar fascitis, which makes walking feel very much like there is a very sharp dagger stabbing me in the heel. I am prohibited from wearing anything but flats for (gasp!) at least a YEAR. To make matters worse, I have to wear an orthotic heel cup, so anything that doesn’t cover the Cold War Era Soviet utilitarianistic hideousness of said cup, is out of the question. I should be somewhat excited to be shopping for an entirely new shoe wardrobe, but I feel so limited.
I need flats for every occasion/ensemble (ie. cocktails, barbeque, lunch with the girls, running errands, semi-formal occasions, night on the town, etc.) and I need them fast. Style-wise, I’m very much into classics with a twist of attitude. I am currently wearing tennis shoes with everything, and it makes me feel very housefrau. Please, please, please help. Please. Please. (This is me, with the begging.)
Your faithful,
Danielle
Ayyyyyyy! To be limited by the painful circumstances to only wearing the flats would truly be the fashion emergency. Happily, the Manolo stands ready to make the few suggestions to ease his friend’s trauma.
Here is the attitudinous satin flat from the Pedro Garcia in the color called “pewter”, which would be good for the wearing during the evening, either dressed up or dressed down.
Three words: Red Patent Leather!

For the more casual times the Manolo likes this driving moccasin from the Prada.
And, finally, for the barbeques, the Manolo gives you the perfect shoe…
These from the inimitable Beverly Feldman are so cutesy with the raffia and the gingham fabric and the cloth berries. Are they not exactly what you would wish to wear with the the capri pants while enjoying the afternoon out in the backyard?
Manolo says, here from the Beverly Feldman is the attractive variation on the very “with it” gladiator sandal.
This one, with the green jadeish ornamentation, it whispers to the Manolo of the forbidden romantic intrigue with the hunky novus homo who has just risen from the proletariat .
In the other words, it is simply the perfect shoe to feed your Colleen McCullough fueled fantasies.
Manolo says, the spring it is icoming! Sing cuccu nu, sing cuccu!
Manolo says, this beautiful and classy shoe from Manolo’s friend the Beverly Feldman, it is perfect for dinner and dancing on the Saturday night of amusement with your dependable steady, the handsome man who still tickles your fancy.
Manolo says, the Manolo’s column in the Express of the Washington Post it is now available for the downloading. This week the Manolo gives the sensible advice to the tall girls.
Dear Manolo,
What’s a tall girl who wishes to be super fantastic to do so as to not make her shorter boyfriend feel insecure?
Helena
Manolo says, it is the experience of the Manolo that usually, the problem it is not with the mens who are shorter than their girlfriends, but with the tall girls who wish to have the boyfriends who are of the commesurate height.
Trust the Manolo if the man who is shorter likes you, he does not mind the difference of the height. You are worth the climb.
Yet now, because your man is short, you now wear only the flats. Then you see the beautiful heels you must have, and the next thing you are resenting the tiny little Tom Cruise-like man because you think he will not let you wear the high heels, when in the fact, he has done nothing of the sort, in the fact he likes it that you are tall. You have concocted the scenario of insecurity in your head.
Do not let this happen to you. The man he will like you for who you are, or he will not.
In the spirit of this, the Manolo he recommends to you the Milagro from the Beverly Feldman, so that you may tower over him with style.
