Make Way for these Saucy Boots!

While many women opt for the sandal, open toe pump, or gladiator shoe, I march to a different drum come warm weather. Yes, I still wear my boots, and I believe this is a perfectly reasonable route to go. So even for those who refuse to put a boot on past May, here are some pairs that might just change your mind...

The Chloe "Paddington" wedge boot, sz 37.5

Biba's remake of their iconic boot, sz 39

A fair compromise for sunny skies - an open toed lightweight ankle boot by Manolo Blahnik, sz 39 (SOLD)

Springtime Shoe Assembly


We have a huge crush on these Giuseppe Zanotti pumps. There's something awfully magical about the paint brush pattern and jewel tone colors! Sz 38

This spring is all about the color "nude", and how could you do this better than a pair of twisted leather pumps by Christian Dior? Sz 37.5

Like the pumps above, these sandals by Alexander McQueen also feature twisted leather, but he yellow accents transform a simple sandal into an exotic adornment for the foot - sz 40 (SOLD)

Classic woven Marni flats with a jewel embellishment on the toe - sz38.5 (SOLD)

Maison Martin Margiela shiny crinkled leather flats, sz 39.5 (SOLD)

Rachel Comey has truly mastered the art of a bold heel. These one's are size 36.5 (SOLD)

Everyone's been flipping out over the studded Chanel clogs, but observe - Miu Miu did it first! We love these towering shearing lined clogs. Sz 38.5

Severe in the Sun

We're in the navy...

Could it be that navy is the new black? We're not going to try to answer that age-old question but, for those of use who have been swathing ourselves in black during the winter months navy provides a nice transitional cushion to the color or spring and summer.
With that in mind we'd like to offer the following navy pieces:
Above, Helmut Lang print tank (SOLD)/Dries Van Noten side gather top. (SOLD)
Below, Elizabeth & James flower print blouse (SOLD)/Miu Miu cotton jacket.

BOOM BOOM bags

This hot pink neopreen Pierre Hardy shopper is ENORMOUS and will probably fit all of those things that you are always worried about taking with you. I'm talking jacket, extra shoes, laptop...the works. And the best thing is you'll never ever misplace it. How could you lose track of a color like that? (SOLD)
Another large-and-in-charge satchel, this saffron leather Alexander McQueen bag will truly make all of your wishes come true. We should probably mention that since the leather is extra-soft, it happens to slouch quite nicely. (SOLD)
This Yves Saint Laurent shoulder bag is on the more petite side, but with its black velvet trim and exposed zippers, it is impossible to ignore. (SOLD)
