Manolo’s Shoe Blog

Manolo says, according to science! today is the most depressing day of the entire year.

Dr Cliff Arnall, a Cardiff University psychologist, devised the formula that shows today is the most depressing.

His equation takes into account six factors: weather, debt, time since Christmas, time since failing our new year’s resolutions, low motivational levels and the feeling of a need to take action.

Taken together they pinpoint today as ‘Blue Monday’.

But be not afraid, dear friends, for the Manolo has been saving something spectacular for just such the situation, when the desperate circumstances called for the desperate measures…

Behold the fuschia knee high boots with the black and gold metallic trim from the Pucci!

Are they not the crazy, wonderful, over-the-top boots?

Do they not, in their crazy, wonderful, over-the-topness bring the smile to your face?

Mission accomplished! Pucci has made the smile.

Let us see the Jack Bauer do that!

Manolo says, sometimes, when the Manolo is feeling blue–perhaps because he is far from the comforts of his home, or because the bee has stinged, or the dog has bited–the Manolo remembers the few of his favorite things, chief among them the patterns of the Emilio Pucci.

To put it simply, Pucci makes the Manolo smile.

Manolo says, here once again is the proof that Pucci makes the smiles!

Manolo says, some of the time, Pucci makes the gasps!

Yes, this shoe it indeed most costly, but is it not also most beautiful?

Manolo says, whenever the Manolo finds that he is in need of the good cheer he has only to look at the shoes such as this, for as we know, Pucci makes the smiles!

Manolo says, the Manolo’s latest column in the Express of the Washington Post it is available for the download at their website. Sadly, because of the space requirements, the column it had to be cut from its original glory, which the Manolo now presents here for your delection.

Dear Manolo,

I really need colorful, pointy flat shoes. I have an ankle problem and I can’t wear heels at all, not even a kitten heel, and I’m tired of black flats. Please help!

Manolo says, the pain in the ankles and feets, this it is nothing new, as the problems of the feets and the ankles they have plagued the humans since we left the trees and began to walk upright.

Like many things, leaving the jungle it was the trade off. Yes, we modern peoples frequently feel the pain in the extremities of lowerness, but at least we also no longer have the callouses on the knuckles from dragging them on the ground.

Yes, we have lost our long prehensile toes, but we have gained the shoes!

Do not worry, however, the Manolo he has the solution to the problem of the super fantastic girl who wishes the non-black flats of pointyness.

First the Manolo he would recommend to his friend this marvelous flat, the Bateau from the Hollywould in the most attractive camel color. It is on the sale at the Zappos, selling for 42% off of the usual price.

The second, it is this flat from the Pucci, the 754131, in the pattern described as the Pink Lillium Satin.

This Pucci flat it does not have the toe of pointyness, but as the many loyal friends of the Manolo know it has something better: Pucci makes the smiles! These they are the shoes of happiness, shoes that could not but fill the one who wears them with joy at having left the forrest behind and began walking upright on the feets, feets that could then be shod with the Pucci flats!

Manolo says, it is Monday and perhaps you are blue in the dumps because it is back to the work, where the “man” he will now make your life unpleasant.

In this case, you must do what the Manolo does when he needs the up cheering, look at the shoes!

Remember, Pucci makes the smiles!

Manolo says, here you see the most unusual sort of the shoe from the Pucci, something perhaps understated, something not with the usual festive patterns of the Pucci.

This it would be perfect for wearing with the deep brown suede skirt on the first cool afternoon of the early fall.

(Yes, it is still the summer, but the newly arrived shoes of autumn they beckon to the Manolo.)

Manolo says, the Manolo he woke up this morning feeling the need for something outrageous and happy-making. He could think of only one thing….Pucci!
