It is the Jossy for the Spring!

Manolo says, here is the Jossy from the Elie Tahari, the fun, flirtatious, super-fantastic, low-heeled sandals that would be perfect for the warm afternoon of strolling through the carefully-tended botanic gardens. Choose your outfit correctly, smile demurely, and let the stray strand of hair fall over your forehead, and that hunky man who invited you may try to steal the sweet kiss behind the hydrangeas!

Manolo the Columnist: Kaplam Pump from Elie Tahari

Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, I’ve finally been promoted to detective after almost a decade as a patrol officer and I need some shoes. While I’m obviously happy to be rid of those clunky, black cop shoes, I’m stumped as to what would look good with the stylish pantsuits I would like to wear. The regulations specify “professional, closed-toe shoes, with heels no greater than two inches high.” Please help. Kathy Manolo says, ayyyy! You will be like Angie Dickinson, going undercover in the hot pants and go-go…

New Elie Tahari Wedges for the Spring

Manolo says, earlier today, while the Manolo was sitting in his usual cafe, enjoying the kir royale and the most beautiful spring afternoon, he could not but help notice two young women nearby who were wearing the shorty skirts and the Uggs. “Please,” bethought the Manolo, “you are both 27. You should not be dressing as if you were waiting for the Justin Beiber tickets. And it is spring, which is not the season for the Uggs!” “So, Mr. Dandified Smartypants,” retorted the girls in the mind of the Manolo, “what should we be wearing?” “Beautiful spring wedges from the…

Manolo the Columnist: Olympia Sandal from Elie Tahari

Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, Can you recommend some sexy shoes for Valentines Day? Something that will make my husband of ten years sit up and take notice? Janice Manolo says, the Day of San Valentine’s, it approaches! And woe be to the man who does not sit up and take the notice! The wheels of womanly justice grind exceedingly fine, and the man who fails to make proper obeisance at the shrine of romance will be doomed to have it brought up to him, yea unto the…

Manolo the Columnist: Carmella Wedge from Elie Tahari

Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, Your recent column in which you mentioned the trend for barefoot brides and bridesmaids has struck a chord with me. My son is getting married in May, to a wonderful if somewhat quirky girl. Not only are they going to be married out of doors, at a friend’s farm in Northern Virginia, but the entire wedding party will be barefooted. I would rather not be barefooted, as I grew up on a farm and know a thing or two about them. My dress…

Stella McCartney Mutant Birken-Heels Monster

Manolo says, perhaps it is time for the Manolo to revive the Gallery of the Horrors… These are not just the simple Birkenstocks-which-have-mated-with-stilettos-thus-violating-all-that-is-holy , but rather the pleather Birkenstocks-meets-the-stilettos, and not just made-from-faux-leather Birken-stilettos, but also the $625 fake leather, mutant Birken-heels. Meanwhile, back on planet Earth, $625 American dollars can get you these…. The Jimmy Choo Suave Satin Sandals, with almost enough change left over to buy these… The Elie Tahari Carlise flat sandals. Of the course, the Manolo would never object to paying this much for beautiful shoes. But for ugly shoes which pay homage to the crunchy…

Manolo the Columnist

Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, I’ve been surprised to see that gladiator sandals continue to be trendy, long after one would have thought that they would have gone out of style. In fact, I confess that I’m now powerfullly tempted to get some for myself. So here’s my question: are gladiator sandals appropriate for a woman of “certain age, “ and if so, what would you recommend? Gloria Manolo says, the Manolo is also surprised that the sandals of the gladiators contiue to be fashionable long after the…
