Gallery: How To Dress For This Weird, Transitional Weather
Hey look, it’s almost June. You all know what that means. It’s only a little bit longer before you can take your favorite rompers and sundresses out of storage and eschew all those complicated “layers” you wear in the cold months.

Pointy Boots Are Big In Mexico
Did you know that ultra-pointy boots are “a thing” in Mexico, and have been for quite some time? I’m not referring to the slightly pointed toe of the classic cowboy boot, but long, curly protrusions that make you look like an Edward Gorey character or the man with the world’s longest toenails.

Real Talk: What Men Really Think Of Your High Heels

Get ready, we’re going to fling some sort of old fashioned opinions at you like a spike heel to the eyeball. More »
Shopping Guide: Rainbow Glitter Fashion For You!
Remember when you were six years old and you saw rainbow shoes covered in glitter and you turned to your grandmother all big eyed and said “when I grow up I’m going to wear shoes like that every day!” And your Grandmothers stared down at you and said “when you grow up are you planning on working at Copacabana?” Dreams don’t have to die. That’s all I’m saying. More »
Shoe Porn: Versace Sex Shoes
The thing about these shoes — these ones here to the left — is that they aren’t just tongue-in-cheek shoe porn, as in, “oh, these shoes are so hot right now, I want to buy a pair and wear them.” These shoes are vaguely sexual. Nay — these shoes are quite sexual. They look like straight-up bondage gear, and how has Donatella been able to make a peep-toe — which is everywhere, all the time, and has been seemingly forever at this point — seem risqué? More »
Would You Pay $800 For These Uggs?
These boots were made for walking in very specific cities, clearly. The NYC version is pictures, but they’ve also made them for Miami, LA, and Vegas. They’re $800, which strikes us as pretty steep for anything but Louboutins, but they’re studded with Swarovski crystals. This pair is available at Ugg Australia stores in NYC. More »

Gallery: Shoes to Fly In (And Not to Fly In)
Sometimes, when you have a full suitcase, the easiest way to pack is to wear your heaviest shoes and put your lightest in your suitcase. We’ve all been there.

Here are some suggestions for how to adorn your feet for flight — please note how a simple change in design can take a footwear idea from… More »
Jennifer Garner’s Fabulous Red Boots
See, here’s a really good example of why taking the extra step to put on boots instead of flip flops when walking around Los Angeles is totally worth the effort (Jennifer Garner is leaving an L.A. library in this pic). Not that I usually do it — in fact, when I have a pair of flip flops that haven’t been demolished by my dog in a fit of vengeance, I wear them about 80% of the time that I leave… More »

Hello Kitty Dr. Martens Just Destroyed My Childhood
You know what I remember from being young? Watching Daria 700 times and owning a pair of black Dr. Martens that were supposed to make me look like her. You know, like someone who read George Orwell’s lesser works inside a padded room. And wore glasses. And had a style which, while it would forever disqualify me from being a member of the Fashion Club, was actually way cooler than anything worn by members of the Fashion Club. All I… More »
