Build the Outfit #7

Manolo says, time for the next Build the Outfit Contest. This time the Manolo must respond to his own challenge issued by his internet friend Carrie. I believe this is also the 6th BtO where the featured shoes aren’t made in size 11. Why do shoe companies hate tall people? Let it never be said that the Manolo did not rise to the occasion in style… Behold, the Mercurypipe from the Stuart Weitzman, available not only in the size 11W, but also in the size 12W! The four inch heel, cognac-leopard-hair-calf-bootie, super shoe! And now, the question from the Manolo…

Stuart Weitzman’s Does the Prada Ombre Knockoff

Manolo says, remember these beautiful and unusual Prada Ombre shoes from last season, with the sfumato gradient effect? It seems that Stuart Weitzman does… In the coming months you will undoubtedly see more modestly priced shoes with this same look.

Shoes for the Sputnik Anniversary

Manolo says, yes, the 50th anniversary of the Sputnik launching was last week, but the Manolo just saw these handsome shoes from the Stuart Weitzman bearing the most appropriate name Endorbit and thought they were appropriate to the occasion. Even better, this color is said to be “wood cosmos”. Do not ask the Manolo what the phrase “wood cosmos” means. He only knows that it sounds cool and space age-ish, much like the name “Sputnik”.

Manolo the Columnist

Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post Dear Manolo, I’m attending a wedding, and I have a delicate situation. My date previously dated the bride, and so I must look super fantastic. I’ve chosen a just-below-the-knee satin dress in dark blue, edging to teal. Please help. Theresa Manolo says, there is so much information missing. Most importantly, the Manolo needs to know, how long ago did Theresa’s male friend date the bride, and did the bride break off with him, or did he break off with her? Such things are important, for…

Stuart Weitzman Boots for the Fall

Manolo says, it is September, time to begin to adjust the wardrobe of the feets to reflect the impending change of the seasons. Here is the handsome and sophisticated low-heel boot from the Stuart Weitzman, something that would perhaps look good with the tights and shorter skirt, which you might wear to the gallery opening in East NoLIta.

The Dipwit

Manolo says, this platform peep-toe pump from Stuart Weitzman is not unattractive, indeed, it has much to recommend it. Unfortunately, this does not include the name.. But, as the readers of the Monolo know, the shoe designers sometimes go off the rails when naming their shoes.

Manolo the Columnist

Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, My husband tells me that we must attend an important business dinner later this month. My problem is that I’m seven months pregnant, my feet have swollen beyond all measure, and I’ve developed “cankles”. I’m desperate. Please help. Trudy Manolo says, the Manolo can only imagine how terrible it must be to be the pregnant woman suffering through the concentrated misery that is the Washington August; the heat, the humidity, the knowledge that the congress peoples will eventually return from their summer vacations.…

Manolo the Columnist

Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post. Dear Manolo, I’m having a big, big birthday this year, and I’m throwing myself a big, big party. I bought a perfect little black dress covered with sequins. I never wear heels, but this dress requires them. So I need festive but comfortable shoes that will go with my fabulous be-sequined dress. Sarah Manolo says, it is sad, but once you reach adulthood you can no longer rely upon friends and family to properly celebrate the miracle of your birth. Thus the Manolo recommends always…

Monday Weitzman

Manolo says, yes it is again Monday, and you are again back at your desk, but do not despair, the Manolo has brought forth from his tricksy bag of shoes this sophisticated, yet lighthearted flat sandal from the Stuart Weitzman to cheer you. It is called the “Tweety”, which is the ridiculous name as it is not yellow. But, as we know, sometimes the shoe designers have trouble thinking up the good names.
