“I truly believe in this product, which is why I’m looking forward to working with SKECHERS and sharing my Shape-ups experience with the world,” Montana said in a statement. “I spent 16 years on a football field — it was an amazing time, but also pushed my body to its limit. Since I started walking in Shape-ups, I have noticed an improvement in my core strength, and the pressure on my back and knees has eased.” Shape-ups from SKECHERS are technical walking shoes designed to promote weight loss, tone muscles and improve posture. Shape-ups have a kinetic wedge midsole that simulates walking on a soft surface like sand, providing natural instability that causes the wearer to use more energy with every step. The men’s and women’s fitness footwear line is available in sporting goods, department and specialty athletic stores around the world. Current offer: Buy a pair of SKECHERS Shape-ups and get $10 off your next SKECHERS purchase! (excluding Shape-ups). Offer expires 3/31/10.
BALENCIAGA - Women - FOOTWEAR - High-heeled boots on YOOX.COM High-heeled boots Composition: Leather, Lacquer Measurements: We’ve been on a Michelle Obama fashion de-tox because we were just exhausted trying to figure out who made her every dress, skirt, shoes, belts, jewelry and on and on.
Uhhm, we’re good with Michelle’s mix-and-match philosophy most Maybe we’re just jealous. But if we were going to spend $540 on a pair of shoes, we’d go for these blue suede Miu Miu platform sandals for $595 (below left), or these Brian Atwood starlette printed pumps (below right) for $600, or
We don’t need to extol the virtues of sensational shoes, but when it comes to the crème de la crème of fabulous footwear, the poshest of peeps turn to Roger Vivier. Bruno Frisoni, creative director at Roger Vivier, made a personal appearance last week at Bergdorf Goodman in New York City to present the spring/summer shoe and bag collection. Oh, to be in NYC! Roger Vivier was a true creative genius. He opened his first boutique in Paris in 1937 and designed the first-ever stiletto in 1954. Vivier died in 1998 at 91, and the designing dynasty was passed to Bruno Frisoni in 2002. He’s kept the brand’s legacy thriving.
When is shopping for spring sandals not good enough? When you stick to the same boring retailers and see the same names from season to season. Cease and desist, we say. Here are 10 cute pairs of sandals, from 10 excellent Web sites that you may have never seen before. Some of them aren’t completely outside the box, but we bet you haven’t seen them all. (And if you’re a fashion blogger, you don’t count.)
Here’s what we are excited about: (more…)
Have you seen those insane heels we blogged about a few days ago? Gorgeous, we know, and they qualify in every way as shoe porn. But we’ve got an antidote - wondrous little ballerina flats, which are at home under suits or jeans, conservative dresses or teensy little skirts. Take a peek: We love the color of Ferragamo’s Varina flat (above). It’s the perfect shade of taupe, floating as it does between shades of gray and latte; the signature grosgrain bow is just a tad darker. (At Nordstrom, $470).
The Style Insider swears we did not plan this. Just because our last post was about impossible-to-walk-in-towering-insane designer shoes with 7” stiletto heels, we had no idea that models were dropping like flies on the Herve Leger runway today. Two models fell flat, and two others barely escaped a tumble. That’s four — count ‘em — four mis-steps on one catwalk: Must be a record. Glamour.com’s Slaves to Fashion blog captures the two big falls, and goes on to show you a video of other models falling on other catwalks in previous shows. New York Magazine’s The Cut blog has a couple of other pictures of the spills. And another site has a photo gallery with blow by blow shots of the tumbles — and kudos to the young lady who kept a smile on her face, picked herself up and kept on strutting. (more…) |
