Ever since Goldenbleu launched their handbag line a few years ago, I’ve been a fan of their collection.  Their handbag line is made of quality leather and the designs aren’t super trendsetting, which is perfect for me because I prefer a chic bag that lasts a few season.  Sadly, the price hasn’t always been in the right range of me unless they go on sale. Okay, so I digress.  The real purpose of this post is to inform San Franciscans of the GoldenBleu Shoe Sale event that is happening this... Read Full Story

Each fashion season, it’s always fun for me to see what the designers do to that shoe part called the heel. Paris Fashion Week tends to bring out the most beautiful and sometimes the most outlandish heels of all the fashion shows and Paris Spring 2009 was no exception. Here’s a quick retrospective of the heels. Which were your favorite? John Galliano swirly metallic platform shoe Alexander McQueen amber heel and tornado heel Miu Miu and the painted wedge with burlap sack bow heel Lanvin... Read Full Story

After getting over my shock at seeing how downright fabulous Stephanie Seymour (she’s 40!)  and Naomi Campbell (38) looked on the Western themed Hermes Spring 2009 runway, my attention finally turned to the shoes. Although I couldn’t see much of a tie-in between the Western theme and these art deco shoes by Pierre Hardy, I’m a fan of the Hermes scarf ring-like shoes  - I wonder, can a Hermes scarf be threaded in between the rings? And while I like the narrow platform, I suspect that the... Read Full Story

It’s been a while since we’ve done one of these so let’s have a shoe showdown. Who wore Manolo Blahnik’s slingback peep toe bootie ($755 at Bergdorf Goodman) best - Hilary Duff or Becki Newton? And since we’re in a recession here, instead of the $755 Manolo pricetag, Michael Kors has a similiar peep toe bootie (minus slingback) for a more palatable price of $149 plus Nordstroms is currently running a promo where it ships for free.

Back in my college days, I would often have second thoughts about my chosen major, computer science & engineering. Although there was never a wait for the bathroom stalls of the engineering building due to the insanely high ratio of male:female in the engineering classes (it was only time in my entire life where the boys had a longer wait time than the girls), more often than not the classes and material weren’t interesting enough to me. How I wish the professors would have taken a cue from... Read Full Story

Ever since viewing the Karl Lagerfeld Spring 2009 RTW photos, I can’t seem to get the theme song from The Jetsons out of my head. The clothing as well as the shoes have that distinct retro-futuristic look that is reminiscent of dozens of 1960’s science fiction movies. There’s definitely a Judy Jetson goes to the dark side vibe going on here.

I have a great and not-so-secret soft spot for Viktor & Rolf. They play with fashion.  It’s not dour, rarely serious, and NEVER boring.  (Don’t bore Nina, I hear Tim Gunn saying in my head, though never to Viktor Horsting or Rolf Snoeren.) This season?  Well Shalom Harlow strutted down that runway just as well as—in fact, better than—any of those interchangeable 16 year olds, and proved without a doubt that Viktor & Rolf isn’t “growing up.” The look was origami gone insane by way of Ziggy...
