Whose Shoes Wednesday
Manolo asks, whose shoes?
Manolo says, it is Tuesday and you are back at your desk, following the long weekend in which you did little more than complain about the weather and your husband Gary’s loutish insensitivity. But, who could have predicted, back in October when you offered to host your Sunday afternoon book club, that the Jets of New Jersey were going to advance so far in the playoffs of the National League of Football? Certainly not Gary. He claimed to be as surprised as anyone, just as he claimed to have forgotten all about your previously scheduled book club afternoon. Which is…
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…
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 asked, whose shoes? Manolo says, it is the Jodie Foster! Congratulations to the Manolo’s internet friend the fabulous Ruth, who was the first to correctly identify this week’s personage of note.
Manolo says, one of the Manolo’s many internet friends has asked him the question. Dear Manolo, I was wondering if you know of a manufacturer of a shoe similar to the one in this photo? Thanks, Bruce Ayyyy! This photo is from the Shorpy, and the Manolo loves the Shorpy blog, as should anyone who loves looking at pictures (and the clothings) of the past. Indeed, in some ways, the Shorpy is the Manolo’s favorite street style blog. And as for the fabulous retro-antique-classical clothings found there, well, one of the Manolo’s bestest of friends is at this very moment…
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, if you have not been paying attention, our good friend Never teh Bride continues to demonstrate that is one the most diligent and entertaining house and decorating bloggers on the intertubes. (Do you know that she has been with the Manolo almost five years! Five years?!? That is like 37 in Internet years!)
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…
Manolo says, for those who enjoy outrageously good blogging, allow the Manolo to suggest there is much entertainment to be had this week at the Manolo for the Big Girl Blog.
Manolo says, sometimes the shoe trends slip past the Manolo’s highly tuned shoe radar, such is the case with the rise and popularity of the Däv rain boot, which the Manolo only became aware of last week when dining with the friends. “Manolo,” said the Manolo’s super fantastic friend, “I really want to get a pair of those fancy rain boots with the high heels. They look like fashion boots but are rubber.” “Yes, yes, the Manolo loves the Pucci rubber boots with the wedge heels. Pucci makes the Smiles!” “No, no, Manolo,” she continued, “not those boots, the ones…
