Pierre Hardy for Gap Summer 2010 Shoes

I popped into Gap’s New York showroom yesterday to preview their upcoming collections and, much to my delight, discovered that it’s all about “Brand Americana” for summer (think floral, folk rock, homegrown and white-on-white)! It makes particular sense given the brand’s American roots (not to mention they’re sponsoring this year’s Costume Institute Gala, whose theme … Continue reading “Pierre Hardy for Gap Summer 2010 Shoes”

Yves Saint Laurent Hamptons Braided Sandals

This is the perfect strappy sandals for me and all I’ll need for the whole season. There is nothing you cannot wear with this, the khaki is the perfect neutral to wear with brights as well as black.

Another important different, … Continue reading “Miu Miu Lattice Platform Pumps”

Giuseppe Zanotti Wedge Boots

I was actually warming up to the foldover boot idea until I saw these. Did someone lose the bottom half of their pants?  These are so comical, like a pair of bootleg pants complete with it’s own jewel.  Just looking at them makes me laugh and I expect them to start walking away.  Come to … Continue reading “Giuseppe Zanotti Wedge Boots”
