  • Shoewars: Steve Madden vs Balenciaga
    Imitation is the highest form of flattery, but I have to admit I’m confused as to why anyone would want to copy this Balenciaga sandal. Nevertheless, Steve Madden has with his

  • Art Over Function: The Statement Shoe
    If the catwalks for Spring 08 are any indication, owning a pair of “statement shoes” will be the biggest fashion essential for the upcoming months. With sky-high heels that are more art than functional and with practicality completely gone out the window, designers have taken footwear to unchartered territory incorporating incredible levels of creativity and in...

  • Transition booties: Dolce Vita Wonder 26
    It’s slowly getting warmer outside and with that, we’re getting a step closer to stowing away our favourite knee high boots that were so hot for A/W in favour of something more suitable for

  • Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent: Snakeskin Shoes
    If it seems like ombre and snakeskin are everywhere lately … it’s because they are. Unlike other trends du jour that are kind of ridiculous (like toting bags around big enough to fit both Olsens inside), these trends are chic. Ombre is a great way to add subtle visual interest to an otherwise blah outfit, while snakeskin strikes the perfect balance between...

  • Steep Vs. Cheap: Canvas Wedge Sandals
    Platform wedge sandals are staples in my wardrobe. Being very petite, I love to crank myself up with 3-5” heels on a daily basis and am rarely found in flats. I will admit, however, that as I get older, it gets harder to trek around the city in sky-highs around the clock. Aching feet and caught heels in subway grates seem to get less justifiable over time.

  • Are Jelly Shoes Making a Comeback?
    If you’re looking to bust out your jellies after years of hibernation in the back of your closet, now’s your opportunity to dust them off… I won’t lie and say that I never owned them, because I remember begging my mom for a pair of sparkly, cotton candy pink jellies when I was in grade school (and boy did I love them). But, as an adult, I find it a little odd...

  • My Trusty Chucks!
    Last weekend during the only snowstorm of the year, my trusty Converse trainers broke. I was wondering why my toes were feeling damp, when I looked down and saw a crack the size of the Grand Canyon spreading southwards down the sole of my shoe. I always hate when my shoes break, because they become like a close friend, trusty and steadfast. Now I need to get looking...

  • Brogues: Fancy Footwork
    I don’t know about you, but a whole season later and I am still in love with brogues. Flat patent brogues, shoe-boot brogues, brogues with heels, and the list continues. So, you can imagine my excitement when I found out that not only were brogues still de rigueur for the summer, but they had also been tweaked to allow for that all-important Spring/Summer vibe. The...

  • Thank you, Marc Jacobs!
    I am a longtime fan of Marc Jacobs, and I usually don’t make any effort to hide it. If the man ever needed a kidney transplant, I’d probably offer him one of mine. However I have become just a little bit bitter toward him lately, and it has nothing to do with delayed runway shows or bribing officials. It has to do with shoes. We all know that high heels can be...
