Eeeewwww!!!

I don't care how many times designers try to put this style of shoe out there, and I don't care what colors, metallics, glitter, etc., they try to create them in, I just find these heeled (or non-heeled) jazz shoes hideous.

There is just no way around it. They're just ICK!



I'm not sure if it's the toe or the leather laces or what but every time they look bad. There is no good way to fix them. So let's just stop the madness. Please, no more.

Jonathan Kelsey - Saks - $710!

Big sale notice!

Today only Saks is having a sale on a bunch of designer clothes, shoes and bags.



I only looked through the shoes section but there were some really pretty items and the markdowns made them much more accessible. I've mentioned liking some of these before, but here are a few highlights of items in the sale:


Le Silla Modern Mary Janes - were $548, now $328


Le Silla Tuxedo pumps - were $488, now $293


Jonathan Kelsey Metallic Leather pumps - were $695, now $486

No sizes left for me, but go.. shop!

P.S. With code HOLIDAY7, you get free shipping!

Designer Focus - Jonathan Kelsey

All of the major department stores are integrating a focus on new designers, hoping to be the first to break out a young talent.

Saks Fifth Avenue's Fashion Incubator is currently featuring Jonathan Kelsey's shoes. The collection consists of 7 pumps, sandals and shoe boots for Fall. Jonathan worked at a variety of houses including Jimmy Choo, which I can see the strong influence of in his clean lines and rich colors.


Suede Patent Pump $675


Metallic Leather Sandal $695


Metallic Leather Pump $585

I love the depth of color and the quality of the materials. The designs have a very modern and graphic sensibility with a very sophisticated silhouette. But one element that I am not yet a fan of is the cone heel. His are not as sharp as some heels I've seen and I know they pull from a 40's fashion but I just find them to be clunky and with out much sex appeal.

What do you think of this heel style and would you buy from him? Do you see him as the next Choo/Manolo/Louboutin?
