Manolo says, February is usually one of the best months for the shoe sales, as it is the end of one season, and the beginning of the other. And now, here is the perfect opportunity for the Manolo’s internet friends who love the muy comfortable shoes of the Taryn Rose to purchase them at the discount.

Here are four of the Manolo’s favorite current bargains.

Above is the Harmony, the shoe the Manolo recommended exactly one year ago in his newspaper column. They remain the handsome and fun shoe, but now they are selling at the unbelievably ridiculous price of only $75! Hurry!

The red satin Camore slingback pump catches the eye with its shiny heel, making it the perfect feetwear for the cocktail party of moderate swankiness. And it is nearly half off the usual price!

The Tyra from Taryn Rose looks smashing in the disco silver and black. And, it is greatly reduced in price!

And, saving the best bargain for last…

This is the Calypso from Taryn Rose, the simple, elegant, evening sandal which will never go out of style, selling for only $135 of the American dollars! This is
the savings of nearly 70%! 70%!!!!!! Seventy Percent!!!!

Hurry! Before they are all gone!

Manolo says, ankle strap flats, they are in the style this season!

Flat Ankle-Strap Sandals from Marc by Marc Jacobs Very charming, yes?

The Illia from Kate Spade. Sort of semi-gladiator-ish, but not really.

Thong Flat Ankle Strap Sandals from Giuseppe Zanotti. This one is the favorites of the Manolo, as the color is perfect for virtually any of your outfits, and is something you could wear until the very start of fall.

Manolo says, winter, winter go away, bring the Manolo the fine spring day!

So that he may see these shoes on the feets of his friends.

The Kayla from Elizabeth and James in bright multi-snake yellow-yellow-yellow.

The Lacross from Stuart Weitzman in sea patent aniline blue-blue-blue.

The Estelle Wedge from the Dolce and the Gabbana in kelly-esque, sorta-MG-racing greeny-greeny-green.

And now, this is the time on the Shoe Blogs when the Manolo dances!

Manolo says, the Manolo’s friends at Zappos are offering several end-of-the-season bargains on the super fantastic Sigerson Morrison shoes.

For the example, these knotted high heel sandals from Sigerson Morrison are over 50% off of the regular price, the true bargain!

And these silvery thong Sigerson Morrison sandals are selling at the discount, over $170 of the American dollars off of the usual price!

And now you must hurry! Before these bargains are disappeared!

Manolo says, the Manolo admits to having had the mostly blah reaction to the recent rise of the ankle-bootie-sandal trend. Perhaps this is because the Manolo had not yet seen these spectacular Jimmy Choo Embellished Ankle Wrap Sandals!

Are they shoes? Are they booties? Are they sandals? Who cares! They are gorgeously super fantastic!

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

Dear Manolo,

Prom is approaching, and I’m currently looking for a pair of shoes to fit my wide feet. I’m having the worst time trying to find wide shoes that are HOT. I don’t want to look like a frumpy old lady at my prom now do I? Please help!

Christina

Manolo says, ayyyy! How well the Manolo remembers his own prom, the event which in hindsight should best be forgotten. Sadly, the memory of the the Manolo standing alone outside the gymnasium, dressed in his Edwardian finery, glumly making the sarcastic comments about the other students to no one in particular, is forever etched in his brain.

However, just because the Manolo suffered the prom-based psychic disaster does not mean that others should not have the bestest time ever, with their fancy gowns, rented electric blue tuxedos, and stretch Hummer limousines, which will ferry them from the Olive Garden to the gym. Once there, they will shake their groove thang to the latest dance craze, be it the Soldier Boy, or the Hustle, or the Watusi, or the Charleston.

Unfortunately, the Manolo’s high school friend has just learned one of life’s painful little lessons: wide feet and sexy hot shoes, like oil and water, do not readily mix, at least not at the decent price.

Here is the Elegant from the Annie, the very reasonably priced, moderately HOT, satin dress sandal that goes up to the EE size.

Manolo says, behold! Beautiful and unusual platform sandals from Burberry in the handsome dark nickel color, but that name? What does it mean? Tonal…Check…Perspex?

It sounds less like something you would wear on your feets and more like the DARPA super secret squirrel project.

Manolo says, the weather out side is frightful, but these sunny, over-the-top, fantastically embellished, Giuseppe Zanotti high-heeled sandals are delightful, in the sort of ridiculous, wacky, child-like way.

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

Dear Manolo,

Last week, my very frugal husband became so fed up with this interminable winter weather that he went out, without my knowing, and booked us a week long cruise to Cozumel, Mexico, leaving the second week of February. And now, I need some sandals appropriate to warm weather.

Susan

Manolo says, long ago, when the Manolo was very poor, he spent the few seasons living in the place with the very cold, very snowy winters. It was during this period of poverty, while the Manolo was forced to trudge many miles to obtain his daily crust of bread, that he grew to dislike excessive displays of winter frostiness.

Indeed, the Manolo clearly remember the moment when, caught outdoors in the storm of sleet, he vowed to exact his revenge upon Señor Jacque Frost.

“To the last,” the Manolo shouted Ahab-like to no one in particular, “The Manolo grapples with thee; from Saint-Tropez’s heart the Manolo laughs at thee; For hate’s sake, the Manolo sips his last piña colada at thee!”

Of the course, the wind did not listen, but still, the shouting was moderately therapeutic, although, certainly not as therapeutic as going to Cozumel. Nor, as therapeutic as the Valley from KORS by Michael Kors, the summery cork-heeled, platform wedge sandals available in the rainbow of colors, although the Manolo is most partial to white for the beaches of Mexico.

Manolo says, the sparkly, electric blue-ish, turquoise-like, gladiatoresque sandals from Alexander McQueen are exactly what is need to chase away the winter doldrums, an look, they are on the sale over 55% off of their usual price.

Manolo says, it is Monday and you are back at your desk, having slogged through the snow and the sleet and the arctic-freezing-the-polar-bear weather to make it to work.

And now you wish it was summer already–come on, hurry up and get here–so you could wear these Dian Von Furstenberg Dahlia Feathered Sandals

Fun, flirty, summery!

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

Dear Manolo,

This year, one of my New Year’s resolutions is to get my legs in better shape by St. Valentines day, so I can wear some stunning heels when I go out with my boyfriend, just in case, he, you know…pops the question, or something. Can you suggest a pair of red shoes for me to wear on the big day, something I can use as motivation to stick with it.

Emily

Manolo says, needless to say, the Manolo approves of using the promised acquisition of beautiful shoes as the carrot to spur oneself to greater accomplishment. Of the course, if one were really serious about the resolutions, one would also use the stick to enforce compliance with the new regime.

Imagine how much more motivated you would be if you swore to all your friends that if you did not meet your goals you would appear in public, at the fancy restaurant for the Dia de San Valentino Festival of Amour, in the bright orange Crocs.

For the Manolo the shame of having to wear plastic dork shoes on his feets that would certainly keep him on the Stairmaster.

As for the beautiful red shoes, the Manolo recommends the Festivity from Stuart Weitzman as being the suitable, and suitably named reward for your efforts.
