In honor of Sex & the City - The Movie, I thought I'd get a little Carried away and offer my homage to the shoes that made the show: Manolos. Without Carrie's incessant fixation on shoes, would any of us everyday gals even know who or what Manolos were?
Thanks SATC. You've made it acceptable to aspire to acquire exorbitantly priced footwear. But going into debt for your shoes doesn't have to happen. There are tons of Manolo look-a-likes at affordable prices. Here are just a few that have that Manolo essence for less.
Yellow You Say?
May 25, 2008
Yellow. It can be a difficult color to pull off. If you have a fair complexion it can wash you out, and on darker skin it may pop out too much and look, well how should I say this nicely, cartoonish. But if one finds the right shade or pattern, yellow can look fabulous on just about anyone. It can freshen up any outfit, giving off an inviting and summery vibe. And now that summer is just around the corner, yellow is the perfect color to wear during the season of poolside parties and balmy barbecues.

The Persistence of Paisley
May 16, 2008
It's indefatigable to some. To others it's a reminder of the psychedelic summers of love. And for a more recent generation, it's been crowned the new look of the season -- a retro-glam look with a pinch of quirkiness. Whatever your feelings are towards the pugnacious paisley print, it has definitely come a long way from its dutiful days on dad's ties. Below is a sampling of the current revival of sophisticated paisley in dresses that run the gamut of style and price.

Happy Mother's Day
May 7, 2008
To be a mother means to be all things at all times -- a friend, a disciplinarian, a teacher, a confident, a nit-picker, a coach... The list could go on for miles. Not only is each role important, but finding the right outfit for each occasion can be challenging, not that you have much time to even contemplate what chic outfit you might wear for playtime, for serious time or for run-around-doing-a-million-things time. So my Mother's Day gift to all you awesome moms out there is an offering of bargain outfits that will fit any mood, task or style.
Much Love,
