I’ve always wondered why Net-a-Porter didn’t carry Nicholas Kirkwood shoes. Kirkwood’s is a British brand, and Net-a-Porter, which is based in London, has a proud history of support...
One of the biggest reasons that both Christian Louboutin and Brian Atwood have been so incredibly successful in the shoe game is because they know how to take a sexy base and twist it – sometim...
The end of work today marks the three-day Memorial Day weekend for our American readers (or if you’re particularly lucky, like some of my friends, your holiday started yesterday evening), which...
First of all, I’d like to say that I’m not an UGG hater. I have a pair of the regular grey boots for wear around the house (my building is old, it tends to get a little drafty in the wint...
To be clear, I don’t personally support the sneaker-wedge trend. Not only do I remember the first time it happened, way back in the 90s, but I didn’t like it then, either. It’s a lo...
For as much as I love Alexander McQueen, I’ve never been a big fan of the company’s diffusion line, McQ. It should be a bastion of mid-priced luxe-punk fantasticness, but mostly, the desi...
Those of you who are regulars are probably sick of hearing about my love for everything Miu Miu. I’m attracted to the glitter and crystal embellishments that the line favors like a starving man...
Megs and I were lucky enough to go to the Christian Louboutin Fall 2012 preview a few months ago, and sadly (although understandably), the fine folks at Louboutin have a no-photo policy during the pr...
As I’m sure most of you guys already know, the severity of the ankle at which a shoe shifts transitions from the tallest point of the heel to where the ball of the foot rests is called the shoe...
A week ago, I asked you whether or not you would consider wearing a pair of shoes large made out of PVC. The majority of those who responded said no, and truthfully, I’m on your side. When I se...
We told you on Monday that the sneaker trend appears to be going nowhere fast, and indeed, pumped-up kicks seem to be extending themselves well into pre-fall and fall, popping up in the collections o...
Now this is a serious shoe. Giuseppe Zanotti has been playing with the structure of shoes for several seasons now, preferring a weighted platform sole at the front of the shoe instead of the traditio...
The ankle-snapping, vertigo-inducing Christian Louboutin superplatforms are back for yet another season of high-flying adventures, and with that brings a whole host of Louboutin’s signature koo...
A few utterly awful pairs of sneaker-wedges notwithstanding, I still adore the fact that a good pair of kicks is finally something that more fashionable women might be tempted to try. It’s abou...
Prada has been the talk of the fashion world this week, what with her exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Ms. Prada herself co-chairing the star-studded gala that opened it. We already brou...
The problem with fashion is that I have rules for myself that I think are a good guide for what I should and should not buy, and then when I see something I love that violates one of them, I’m ...
If you’re a lady with big feet, I feel your pain. I also tip the footwear scales at a 9-10, depending on the designer, and we have to deal with a whole host of issues that our smaller-footed fr...
There are certain advantages to being a celebrity of any type, but there are even more advantages to being a celebrity like Dita Von Teese. Von Teese is known for being constantly and perfectly coiff...
I wasn’t sure whether to go with the side view or top view to showcase the Roberto Cavalli Acetate Flower Sandals, but since the party is on top when it comes to these flat summer stunners, the...
Did you guys watch the livestream of the red carpet at the Met Gala last night? If not, you missed out. This year’s exhibition, “Impossible Conversations,” honors both Miuccia Prada...
We’ve touched on the over-the-top, extremely expensive shoes of the Christian Louboutin 20th Anniversary Collection before, but with sales on the spring collections looming and pre-fall yet to ...
Most of you know my love for Charlotte Olympia runs very deep – hers is always a bright spot in any list of shoe collections, season after season. With that sort of joie de vivre, though, comes...
Hi everyone, I’m Hilary. We haven’t met yet, I’m new to the TalkShoes team, and I am SHOE OBSESSED. I can wax on and on about what makes a shoe good for paragraphs. I promise not to...
I don’t know a single person in the entire fashion industry who doesn’t absolutely worship Azzedine Alaia. The man was name-checked in Clueless, which is probably the greatest cinema achi...
I wrote a lil’ something over at PurseBlog about purchasing my Miu Miu Patent Crystal-Heeled Oxfords a little while ago, but since I’ve been wearing them for a few weeks by now, I wanted ...
On Monday, we brought you the first picture of the much-anticipated Christian Louboutin Red Strass Sole – the rest of the shoe will also be red strass, giving the design a wrap-around sparkle e...
Designs like the Prada Flame Heels (for which we have already proclaimed our eternal love) take a very special celebrity to wear. Shoes this esoteric are usually left for the hardcore fashion people,...
Not long ago, we discussed a pair of baffling Balmain sandals that cost $1500 and I admitted that I am slow to spend more than $200 or so on a pair of summer flats. They just don’t feel as expe...
Christian Louboutin seem to always be at the forefront of shoe trends, no matter whether they concern structure, color or material. Neons and brights? Done. Chunky-heeled platforms? Done. Plenty of r...
Last month, I reviewed a pair of Dolce & Gabbana shoes with all-over (literally) crystal embellishment, and at the time, I expressed surprise that Christian Louboutin had yet to strass his signat...
