Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angela Landsbury were at the Etcetera Etcetra Restaurant as part of “A Little Night Music” celebrations. When I grow up I want to be like Angela. I can’t tell what kind of shoe she is wearing, however I will assume they are low heeled pumps because Ms. Landsbury is 84 and I can’t imagine her tottering about in platforms. She is beautiful.
Catherine Zeta-Jones is wearing a black Alexander McQueen dress, also seen on Anna Paquin and Cameron Diaz, with red accessories. I used to think this was a wonderful way to put an outfit together but I have seen it too many times, so has become a “safe” way to put an outfit together. That being said, since this dress has red piping on the zipper this works better than most.
It has been a couple of weeks since I read this, but with Shomore’s review of the new Kenneth Cole technology, I recalled this article in the Chicago Tribune about a showdown with four shoes and their comfort levels. Here’s the set up: Ellen Warren purchased 4 pairs of shoes, then 4 women wore them, giving their assessment of each shoe. Here are the shoes in comfort order.
Kenneth Cole Stud Bolt was $175 at Kennethcole.com but this style isn’t available anymore. The Stud Bolt does not seem to be a part of the 925 series. The “hype” mentions that the technology was 4 years in the making, but I couldn’t find the shoe listing any longer.
We have all been waiting for photos of the Jimmy Choo line that will be sold in select H&M stores on November 14, 2009. Here are some of the latest, released shoe and handbag photos. There is lots of sparkle and shine for the holiday season, priced around $129.
General reaction has been mixed. Some say that the only reason they will be purchased is because they are Jimmy Choos, some say these styles are just more of the same, others say they are fab. What do you think?
In 1966’s a group of men started manufacturing athletic shoes in southern California then sold them directly to the consumers. Vans offered three styles, priced from $2.49 to $4.99, but on the day the first store opened for business, the company only made display models. The store racks were filled with empty boxes. Nevertheless, 12 customers came into the store and chose the colors and styles they wanted. The customers were asked to come back in the afternoon, while James Van Doren and Gordy Lee rushed to the factory to make their shoes.
When the customers returned to pick up the shoes, Van Doren and Lee realized that they had no money available to make change. The customers were given the shoes and asked to return the next day to pay for them. All 12 customers did. In 1982 a movie titled Fast Times at Ridgemont High featured Jeff Spicoli (Sean Penn) wearing a pair. It made a star of both the shoes and Sean Penn. If you were a teenager in the late 1980’s you probably had a pair. They are still a favorite shoe of teens and tweens.
Today you can go Vans.com online to customize your shoes by choosing the style, the pattern and color of ten parts of the shoe. The cost is $60 to $70. They are a great shoe.
So I was channel surfing last night and saw Kaley Cuoco on David Letterman. She was wearing these gorgeous purple suede pumps and a little black dress. I couldn’t focus on what she was saying because I kept watching to see if the camera would show her shoes. Here is a photo as she is leaving the Ed Sullivan Theater, covering the LBD with a satin trench. Wonderful look. Love the shiny trench, love the matte shoes.
The shoes are from the Brian Atwood’s 2009/2010 Fall Winter collection. How beautiful are these shoes? There are about 6 color variations of this shoe.
Now, I could not find any online but I found some platform pumps that are available online. A few of you have said you have given up on suede because it is discouraging to have your shoes ruined in the weather, so I included a few smooth leather shoes.
I bought a pair of emergency Parigi’s last April. They are indeed high; they are indeed dramatic; they do indeed show toe cleavage. They are comparable to other shoes that are the same price.
