Manolo the Columnist: Portman from Burberry

Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column from the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, My best friend since grade school is getting married for the second time, in Key West, in what she’s describing as a “very informal” ceremony. I know I’m supposed to wear sandals, but I need help with this. I’m not sure which kind. Sarah Manolo says, the Manolo cannot help it, but when the Manolo hears the words “Key West wedding “ he immediately thinks “gay pirate themed,” with the Right Reverend Captain Blackbeard the Bear officiating. But, that is only the first…

Manolo’s Late Night Bargain: Burberry Sp-Sum 2012 Sandals

Manolo says, here is the handsome pair of the Burberry sandals, the exact sort of thing you would see down at the country club, on the feet of that toned, WASPy, blonde woman with the handsome blue-eyed children who excel squash. But look! It is on the sale, more than 40% off of the regular price! Soon, you, too, shall be able to call your eldest son “Biff” with impunity.

Burberry Platform Sandals for the Thursday

Manolo says, the weekend, it has almost arrived, and you have the big plans, oh yes, you, Little Miss Quiet-in-the-Corner, have the big plans, very big plans, indeed: dining, dancing, canoodling, the whole romantic magilla. But, you will need shoes, beautiful simple shoes that will perfectly accent the simple pale dress you have selected for this evening of amour. Look! Burberry platform sandals, in the mysterious “smoked trench” color! Perfect!

Burberry Bucklicious Platform Ankle Booties for the Tuesday

Manolo says, the Manolo cannot say exactly why, but the Manolo finds these leather and suede Burberry ankle booties oddly compelling. Perhaps it is the au courant, militaristic, puttees-and-combat-boots look that the Manolo is responding to. On the one of the hands, the five inch heel is outrageous, but, on the other of the hands, the khaki leather with the straps and buckles is familiar and Burberryish, something that would certainly go with the iconic trench coat. Meanwhile, the black version of this shoe does not particularly move the Manolo to appreciation. Yea, or nay, dear internet friends, yea or…

Burberry Confetti Hearts Espadrilles for the Spring

Manolo says, it is spring! Time for the espadrilles to return, just like the swallowing birds to San Juan Capistrano. And if you wish to have fun on your feets, then these Confetti Hearts Wedge Espadrilles are the funnest of springy shoes, and completely unlike the usual thing from Burberry. And if the hearts are perhaps too literal the expression of your joy, then these tea rose colored wedge espadrilles from Burberry may be just the thing.

Burberry Tonal Check Perspex Sandals…Um…Wha?

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.
