The Eileen Shields

Manolo says, here is the article on the shoe designer Eileen Shields who used to work for the Donna Karan.

Any woman who finds herself nodding her head in happy agreement at the mention of flats ought to go take a look at Shields’s shoes, STAT. Though the designer’s line, now entering its third season, is rich in pumps, the standout item is the ‘Juliette,’ a round-toed flat with contrasting t-strap; available in a few different colors, they’re the kind of shoes committed pedestrians love to the point of destruction. And even Shields’s princess heels, such as the sling-backed ‘Ameli’ and ‘Maria’ mary jane, offer merely the suggestion of the soigne high-heeled silhouette, while hewing forgivingly low to the ground.

“It’s not like I launched the line because I couldn’t find any flats out there I liked,” Shields notes, “but if it’s a niche that works for me, I guess I’m glad to fill it.” She laughs again, adding merrily: “I don’t know. This is only my third collection; I’m still figuring out what ‘Eileen Shields’ the brand is all about. I have some ideas, but It’s going to take a few more seasons before I can say for sure. For now, I’m just a cobbler, really.”

The Brad and the George

Manolo says, look at this.

Brad Pitt has turned to his “Ocean’s Twelve” co-star George Clooney for comfort following the break-up of his four-year marriage to Jennifer Aniston.

Clooney has been comforting Pitt and even joking about the threat to his position as one of Hollywood’s most eligible bachelors. He even suggested Brad take a break, offering him his Italian villa as a free holiday destination.

And just days after announcing his split from Aniston, Pitt flew off to Japan on a promotional trip for “Ocean’s Twelve,” spending two days with George in the Far East.

Manolo says, the Clooney he is the shameless wrecker of the home!
