Wisdom of the Manolo

Manolo says, the true radical in the serious well-cut, well-tailored clothes is the one whose thoughts, talents, and actions will change the world. The attention-seeking adolescent in the motley clothes of the fool, this person is merely the comedic sideshow.

Manolo is so wise!

Golden Globes

	Johnny's looking good. Sometimes the kooky look doesn't work for him, but I think he looks stunning here - formal, but different from everyone else - you can TELL he's Johnny Depp.
	I'm not really a huge fan of Scarlett Johansson, but she looked amazing. Very classic movie star in a good way, not a Christina way...
	I love Halle Berry, and I love the dress, but what's with the unfortunate arm poodge?
	Who the hell are you? And why are you dressed like Shirley Temple-turned-widowed-hooker?
	I don't think she's terribly attractive with her hair down, for some reason, but when it's pulled back she's just breathtaking! And that shiny color really works for her too.
	I have a feeling this is a housewife. Whoever she is, she is working that dress!
	I like the top, but then she just gets eaten up!
	Oh Nicole! OH! Without a doubt, the most amazing gorgeous person at the Golden Globes. That color is just fantastic with her hair and eyes and skin.

Spring Shoes!

Also available in black, but I love the green. Green is my favorite color, so these would go far in my wardrobe. I love the cut-outs on the toe.

This is a fun looking shoe. I can imagine it being very comfy (though I could be very wrong). It's clunkier than I would like for office work, but I think it would be great for going out to a bar with your sweetie or meeting someone for coffee on the weekends.

---

Not really a spring shoe, but on sale for $20 - maybe worth trying for those days when you have to go to work, but don't feel like sacrificing any comfort for looking good.

---

Oooh tweed. On sale for $28. Pretty!

---

I've been eyeing these for a while, and now they're reduced to $29.99. Oh the herringbone!

WHAT is going on here? Is it menswear-inspired? Is it girly? Is it a cow? Make up your mind!

Black Pump Update.

Alas, the Gabriella Rocha pumps I ordered from Zappos arrived, and they were everything they dreamed I'd be - very cute, very comfy - and more. More - they are VERY SLIPPERY. I was sliding all over my bedroom. That just wouldn't doo. Alas.

So, in my grief, I rebounded into the arms... uppers... of:



Oh how gorgeous. And suede, which I meant to avoid. And with an equally smooth looking sole, which I meant to avoid. But... but I'm in love!!! They just beg to be worn with a pencil skirt, and a silky blouse, and with my hair put up sexily with just a strand brushing my librarian glasses...

Shoes and... and... this thing.

For all your... well, I'm not sure what needs this Medusa Helmet would fill, but it sure is something to look at. Note that even for $500, it is not guaranteed to turn your enemies to stone. Thanks to Phroomis for finding that one.

*****

I ended up buying this Gabriella Rocha, that Zappos very kindly informed me was once again available in my size. (Good with information management, Zappos, yes, not like SOME online stores we could mention.)



Pretty... Not the simple pump I wanted, but I'll keep looking. For now, this will be a fun work shoe. Several of the reviewers mentioned dancing in it, so I should be able to handle 8 or 9 hours of it in an office.
