Manolo the Columnist: Flower Shine from Kenneth Cole Reaction

Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, I canâ€™t believe itâ€™s already April and things here in the District of Columbia are blooming. It seems like just the other week that we were buried under yet another snowpocalypse. Can you recommend some fun, inexpensive sandals to help me welcome this new season? Erica Manolo says, the springtime is indisputably the bestest of all times to be in the Washington, D.C. In the summer, it is both roastingly hot and insanely humid, setting in motion the rare meteorological phenomenon in which…

Manolo the Columnist

Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo I recently graduated and started a new job as a research chemist. This means long hours on my feet in the lab, and close-toed shoes in the summertime!. Can you recommend any close-toed shoes that are comfortable, fashionable, *and* affordable? It seems an impossible combination. Genna Manolo says, since the time of the famously maladapted and nerdy Isaac Newton, scientists have been the modern priestly class, intermediaries between our superstitious world of ignorance and their logical world of higher knowledge, engaged in arcane…

The Pointed Toe Returns

Manolo says, as the Manolo predicted earlier this year, the pointy toed shoe has returned! Round-toes have pretty much ruled the shoe world for the past decade, with a tenacity that belies their innocently girlish appearance. But a decade is a century in fashion years (like dog years, but longer and potentially more fatal if underestimated) so it was inevitable that the point should return at some point. And lo, it has come to pass. At Balenciaga – pretty much the bellwether for trends that the high street masses will be adopting – the gladiator sandals it knocked out last…

Manolo the Columnist

Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, Starting in late July Iâ€™ll be spending two weeks of my vacation with some friends in a rented house in the Hamptons. During the day itâ€™ll be beach casual, but at night weâ€™ll be going out. What do you suggest? Marlise Manolo says, summer in the Hamptons! It is just like being in Manhattan, only without the nice people. It is the experience of the Manolo that during the weekdays the Hampton beaches are mercifully free of the preening young investment bankers and…

High Light

Manolo says, here to enliven your Wednesday is the pair of the hot booties from the Kenneth Cole New York. Yes, during the working day you appear to be the uptown girl, living in the white bread world. But, the truth it is more complex, and when your day of drudgery is complete it is onto the 6 and back to your tiny sublet in the East Village, where you will slip into the black ribbed tights and hot booties to meet your friends for drinks and arguments about the Julian Schnabel.

The Animal Within

Manolo says, Ayyyyy! The animal prints they are everywhere this season! First the spectacular one from the Dolce and the Gabbana. Then the semi-practical one with the round toe, from the Kenneth Cole. Finally, if you are going to wear the animal prints, do not be shy. The super fantastic girl who would wear these boots from the Donald Pliner she is indeed the creature of dangerousness.

Kenneth Cole for the Poor Girl

Manolo says, the most common question in the email of the Manolo it is from the poor girls asking the Manolo to find them the shoes worth the wearing at the low price. As the Manolo he has said, in many of the times of the past, the poor girl she should save her moneys until she can afford the truly super fantastic shoes. But, of the course, the poor girl she cannot go about without the shoes on her feets, because for one of the reasons at the restaurants it is always “no shirts, no shoes, no way the…
