Roberto Cavalli Satin Sandals for the Monday

It is Monday, and you are back at your desk eagerly awaiting your two weeks of vacation, which you are certain will arrive….any….minute…..nooooooooooow. Actually, the vacation of the summer, it is still three weeks away, but you are so eager for it that you can hardly contain your visible impatience with your coworkers at the InEmTechCo, Inc. For the example, just this morning you came that close (holding fingers one micron apart) to almost telling off Angry Anna the IT Girl, which would have been very bad indeed, as it is Angry Anna who must summoned when something goes wrong…

Kneel Before Cavalli!

Manolo says, these super fantastic Roberto Cavalli spider lady shoes would be absolutely perfect if you were the statuesque, raven-haired beauty, who wished to cause mayhem on the global level, perhaps by subjugating the Earth to the whims of General Zod. But, only after you had the makeover that brought your wardrobe into the 21st century… Girlfriend, those jodhpurs are doing your hips no favors. The Manolo is thinking the skin-tight catsuit for Ursa, black on black, with only these Cavalli shoes as accent.

Roberto Cavalli Sandals for the Monday

Manolo says, it is Monday, and you are back at your desk working feverishly to complete the task you had promised the bossman you would have done by this morning. Mind you, you are not complaining about this, just working at the hectic pace, whistling softly, even as your mind wanders back to what had turned out to be the weekend to remember. It had not started out that way, indeed, you had intended to work on your boss-appointed task on Saturday. But, the uncommon freedom of being the new empty-nesters seemed to inspire your man Larry, after 23 years…

Roberto Cavalli Sandal, Beautiful and not so Expensive

Manolo says, this is the sort of Cavalli shoe the Manolo loves, flashy, dramatic, and all-together beautiful. And the price is not outrageous. Why cannot all of the Cavalli shoes be like this?

Roberto Cavalli Wedge, Ugly and Expensive

Manolo says, this is the sort of atrocity that makes the Manolo waver between anger and despair, while the price leaves him gasping. P.S. Many thanks to the Manolo’s shoe-obsessed friend Wayne.

Roberto Cavalli Halloween: The Scariest Costume Ever!

Manolo says, in the past the Manolo has criticized Roberto Cavalli for his lack of restraint as the designer, but one could never say that Cavalli does not have the marvelous sense of humor. For what could be funnier/scarier than to appear dressed as Karl Lagerfeld?

Manolo the Columnist

Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, I know itâ€™s the middle of August, but Iâ€™m finding myself daydreaming about what sort of boots Iâ€™ll wear this fall. Can you recommend a pair to fuel my fantasies. Stephanie Manolo says, daydreaming about the boots and the shoes of the coming fashion season? Ayyyy! You are describing what the Manolo spends most of his day doing, relaxing at the sidewalk cafÃ© with the kir royale, while contemplating beautiful shoes in the eye of his mind, It is clear to the Manolo…

Roberto Cavalli, Lack of Restraint

Here you see the two pairs of shoes from the Roberto Cavalli, shoes which properly capture the Robert Cavalli aesthetic, which the Manolo might describe as “Long Island Russian Mafia Gun Moll”. And yet, for all of that, the Manolo finds these shoes “almost”. Almost worth wearing. Almost beautiful. Almost super fantastic. The problem is that the Manolo, who believes that true fashion lies on the border between the trashy and the classic, thinks that these shoes are located just across the fashionable border into the land of the trashy, which means these shoes are “almost”. Of the course, this…

Roberto Cavalli Boots on the Sale

Manolo says, for the most of the part, the Manolo he does not find the shoes of the Roberto Cavalli to his taste. Yes, they are the favorites of the Hollywood crowd, but to the mind of the Manolo they are often too much over the top, and occasionally even ridiculous. However, these boots of the Roberto Cavalli the Manolo he likes very much. Yes, they are somewhat fashion forward, with all of the strapping and the buckling, yet is there not also the tough girl chic in them? And these they are the bargain! Over 50% off of the…
