Manolo Blahnik Suede & Raccoon Fur Boot for the Tuesday

Manolo says, it is Tuesday, and you are back at your desk, and the Manolo is finally getting around to welcoming the new week with the short essay. Yesterday you were saying to yourself, “what gives with the Manolo, he’s usually posted one of his Monday stories by now.” To which the Manolo would reply, of the course the Manolo was not available! Yesterday was the International Talk Like the Pirate Day! The Manolo began the celebrations early, and by the time he thought to post his Monday story, the spirits of the day (both abstract pirate good cheer and…

Manolo the Columnist: Tilly from Kate Spade New York

Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, I will be traveling to a wedding in Rome at the beginning of October. This will be my first trip to Italy, and needless to say, my first experience at a Roman wedding. While the issues of dress and such are important, I have the feeling that my choice of footwear will be paramount. Can you help me with a fabulous, stylish shoe that will fit in appropriately for such an occasion? I will note, the wedding will not be taking place in…

Splash Peep-Toe Pumps from the Christian Louboutin for the Monday

Manolo says, it is Monday and you are back at your desk, and already the Summer of 2011 is fading into the rearview mirror of your life, growing smaller with each passing second. Of the course, given what the Summer of 2011 was like, this is not necessarily the bad thing. Indeed, if you could, you would jam your foot down onto the accelerator of the life-mobile, spewing gravel and little chips of asphalt into the face of the Summer of 2011, as you sped away. But you cannot. The great tragedy is that life is not the car your…

Manolo the Columnist: Paramour from B Brian Atwood

Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, Thanks to the double dip recession, the earthquake, the hurricane, and my usually slack ways, I’m a little late getting my fall wardrobe ready this year. What’s the hot color for this season? I need something that will make me feel better about life in general. Please help. Bridget Manolo says, frankly, the Manolo is ready for the 2011 to be over today, so dismal has it been thus far. But then the 2012 is not looking so good at the moment, either,…

Farewell, Never teh Bride

Manolo says, after six and the half years as the editor-in-chief of the Manolo for the Brides, dear friend of the Manolo, Christa Terry (a.k.a. Never teh Bride) is moving onto bigger and better things. It’s time for me to make a difficult announcement. To indulge in a spot of cliché, I’m not sure how to say it, so I’ll just come right out with it. I’m resigning from Manolo for the Brides and Manolo for the Home. During my time writing for Manolo for the Brides and Manolo for the Home, I’ve grown personally and professionally. When The Manolo…

Manolo the Columnist: Just A Little Knotty from Lilly Pulitzer

Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, Labor Day is this weekend, and I’m confused about the rule that prohibits the wearing of white after that date. Where does it come from and why should I pay attention to it? Miranda Manolo says, it has been two or more years since anyone has asked the Manolo about the white shoes and the Day of Labor, the fact which the Manolo takes as evidence of the final death throes of this old rule. Its origin lies in the ancient history of…
