Also, is Stacey's talk show " Shut Up, it's Stacey London" or whatever it is called still on.
I saw one episode and like it but got super busy and lost track of the program.


Book (http://www.amazon.com/Dress-Your-Best-Complete-Finding/dp/0307236714/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-3597893-3507058?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1183319299&sr=8-1)

I absolutely LOVE shoes. My teenager once said, "a girl can never have too many shoes." My poor husband he has to keep 5 girls in shoes!!

[Shelly]

Kori...some of my favorite shoes are Bandolino. If possible, I would love it if you would do a post on who makes shoes in multiple widths. Alas, my feet got wider after having kids and it's hard to find shoes in wide. I usually have to go up a 1/2 size for width sometimes, but then the shoe is really too big for me.

I left some comments on the website :)

ETA...i see that you already did a post for bigger feet. I still need to try them on though.

[Shelly]

I'm really interested to see how Sarah Jessica Parker's clothing line is. I know there's a store on SE Military. All her clothes are $20 and less, I think. I'm curious to see if they hold up well.

[Shelly]

Kori,

You should have an ugly shoe contest where readers submit pictures of ugly shoes that they own.

I'm really enjoying the blog!

I saw it featured on the fashion channel and the clothes are all super cute and all cost under $20.

I am so going to Steve & Barry's this weekend!!!!!!!!!!! :elephant :elephant

I couldn't see it. It had her name and a title but nothing to read.

I just read it and I love the blog, Kori! :toast The choice of shoes you featured in there was fabulous and your commentary was very woman-to-woman, if you know what I mean. It really felt like I was sitting at lunch with a good friend talking about shoes. I think you struck just the right chord. Excellent job my friend. :spin

The Steve and Barry's here is a shamble, merchadise thrown every where, very limited size selection, no pride as far as displays were concerned. All in all was not the quality store I was expecting a star to chose to market their clothes in, although maybe it is just this San Antonio location that is so poorly taken care of.

That said I did find a printed shirt, a necklace, a clutch and matching pair of shoes, all of which just cost me $32.
I needed the things to go with a new pair of jeans I bought. The jeans were $40 marked down to $10- yea me.

I wish Steve and Barry's had been in better shape, the mess the shop was in really took away from the products. Also sales attendents were very hard to identify and find.
As cute as my outfit is, there was nothing about what I saw today that has me anxious to make the trip back across town to go back.
Oh well, bad on them.

I think I might go back to the store just one more time and learn my sizes in the shoes, shirts etc and order online. That way I can avoid the mess and still have my cute stuff.

[Shelly]

That's too bad, V. Did you get all SJP's stuff? If so, let us know how it holds up after a few washings. I'm very curious to see.

It might have been just your store, though. My friend lives up in Highland Village and there is one near her. She didn't mention anything like your experience and believe me, she would have if she had encoutered it. She picked up one shirt and wants to see how well it holds up before buying more.

I think it was the store. I would try another location or two, in austin or wherever before writing off the chain.
More than anything I felt bad for Sarah Jessica because I truly believe she would be disappointed with the way her items were being represented. The store did her merchandise a real diservice.


My items are all SJP's stuff. Her clothes are why I went in the first place.
I usually don't go for name brands but I am a big Sarah Jessica fan and also love reasonable prices.

What I like about the t-shirt I bought is that it is figure flattering so I felt cute even though I was just in a t-shirt and jeans.
Also the shirt is long enough so that does not ride up when you sit down- a very refreshing change from what they sell nowadays.

I didn't like the selection of jeans- didn't feel there was enough to chose from and the styles available did not flatter me.
However, by the time I got around to looking at jeans I was frustrated with the store lay out and staff, so maybe I missed something.

I had to return something at Nordtrom's today and they were having a shoe sale. (sigh) I picked up a couple of shoes, I included the pictures below. I'm still not sure about the brown, they were really comfy for the size heel. The red is more of a deep dark red, not as bright as the flash makes it look. The red are a total frivolous buy, I can't think of too may outfits I have that would go with that pair.

Great site. When I have some time I will sit down and comment on it. I noticed that patent leather is in, there were so many different colored patent leather shoes at Nordtrom's.

[Kori Ellis]

Flea - both pairs of those shoes are terrific! I really like the brown ones.

Thanks to everyone for reading (and commenting).

[iminlakerland]

Kori were you the one to write the Abed Mahfouz article on SheKnows? I absolutely love some of his designs, that red dress was looking so pretty as well.

[duncan228]

Kori-Thanks for the shoeblitz link. Your "Hard To Find Sizes" site hit the spot for me.
My son wears size 18 and he's still growing! Shoes are always an issue for him.
Thanks for letting me in on a site I didn't know about!

(Yes, I left a comment. Anything to help you after all you do for us! This board, and now shoes!!! :spin )

[Shelly]

Cute shoes, Flea!

The red ones can be worn with jeans a lot. On WNTW, they always pop an outfit with a red shoe or bag.

[angel_luv]

How long is the Nordstrom sale going on?

SmartBargains.com has three pairs of shoes for $99. The size selection is limited so you have to search, but they have some great shoes available from 9 West, Carlos Santana, Jessica Simpson, Steve Madden, BCBG, etc. I ordered six pairs of shoes yesterday and saved about $400.

Here's one for the shoe blog...From Marc Jacobs show.

[Kori Ellis]

Wow!

Thanks Shelly.

I would love to try those on just to see how you walk in them!

Marc Jacobs show is curioser and curioser
When I said in Monday’s paper that Marc Jacobs’ show often is confusing, I hadn’t yet been to the unveiling of his spring collection, which was last night.Let me say it now, just to be clear: Marc Jacobs’ show is confusing. With a capital “C.”

First of all, Jacobs began the show the way other shows end – by coming out onto the runway at The New York Armory and waving gratefully to the crowd. Then all 50-plus models in his show paraded in a line, in the same manner that most other runway shows conclude, giving viewers a chance to see all the designer’s looks at once. After that, each model walked the catwalk individually.

The show, in other words, was intentionally backward.

But the most glaring aspect of the night’s weirdness: the clothes.

Jacobs designed a spring collection that was unfinished – literally. Dresses were absent backs or sides. Shoes were missing chunks of their heels. Bras were showing. Tuxedo pants were shockingly sheer.

I left scratching my head, and frankly a little bit dazed.

What was that I just saw??

Other newspaper editors seated next to me on the bleachers were either befuddled, tickled by the silliness of it all, or – in some cases – angry. After all, the show started two hours late, at 11 p.m., and lasted less than 15 minutes.

“We waited all that time for THIS,” a colleague complained.

“Maybe he’s still on drugs,” someone else surmised.

Another fashion writer said the presentation reminded her of “a trip down the rabbit hole.”
Jacobs is a trip, all right. One I just don’t get.

Even the “run-of-show,” which lists for participants the designer’s descriptions of each look, were curiouser and curioser.

One model was said to be wearing “two thirds of a satin gown.” Another, a “patent too small sandal.” One model was described as wearing only “crepe.”

Interestingly, Jacobs’ descriptions were, for the most part, literal. That partial gown was indeed a fraction of a dress. The “too-small” sandals left models with their heels resting on the backs of shoes – like Cinderella’s stepsisters.

The crepe thing is just inexplicable.

In just about all of Jacobs’ shows, I leave with the distinct feeling that the Emperor has no clothes – and no one wants to tell him. In this case, the Emperor had only baffling parts of clothes. And I wonder if any of the glossy fashion mags and big-time critics will say so.

On the way out of the mob-like scene that is the Marc Jacobs show, I ended up somehow standing next to fashion mogul Russell Simmons, whose forehead was beaded with sweat from standing in the crush of the exiting crowd.

I couldn’t resist asking him, since he was in such close proximity, what he thought of the show.
His answer was telling.

“I thought the production was phenomenal, and it was fun,” he said. “And it was well-produced.”

As I suspected, he said nothing about the clothes.

Kori,

Here's a shoe for you to write about! I don't think I'd last 5 seconds in those!

http://justjared.buzznet.com/2007/10/08/the-victoria-shoe/

Victoria Beckham was, of course, the first to wear The Victoria Shoe by Italian fashion designer Giambattista Valli during her Elle Magazine photo shoot.

“They are gorgeous,” Victoria blogged earlier this morning. “I will just have to learn how to walk in them first they are so high!”

It looks like the heels for The Victoria Shoe are 6″ high… and they have super high platforms as well!

FYI: Posh also wore black versions of The Victoria Shoe with her Margiela outfit earlier today.

[Shelly]

They look even more bizarre from the front. They kinda remind me of a wooden dutch shoe.

Yeah, Zappos rules for lots of reasons, those reviews really help a lot. They are way overpriced but I find shoes I like on endless.com and price match them. I have gotten $80 for under $15 doing it. I even had the last lady who helped me send me a thank-you card and congratulating me on finding the price matches :lol

I have actually bought/returned shoes from ShoeBuy with no problem. But of the three - ShoeBuy, Zappos and SmartBargains, I actually usually find the best choices for me at SmartBargains.

I always laugh at NeimanMarcus or Saks when they offer a "deal" of free shipping when you spend more than $150 or $200 :lol It just seems funny to that you pay all that for shoes and they can't give you free shipping on an order of any amount.

Do you all ever buy clothes/shoes from Overstock or Bluefly?

[T Park]

For the guys here.

Joseph Abboud jeans are the shit. :tu

they rival any pair you'll find in comfort and style.

pair a nice starched pair with a motorcycle boot (the ones that almost look like austin power's shoes) a nice fancy t shirt, and your good to go.

I don't like to buy things without trying them on. I've watched enough WNTW and that's been pounded in my head. I never used to try shirts on, but I've learned to do that now. Many a shirt I've bought without trying on and never ended up wearing because it really didn't look good on me. I have never bough pants without trying them on...even when I was at my fittest back in my 20s.

And with shoes...another I have to try because of having wider feet.

http://www.abercrombie.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10051_10901_353376_-1_12227_12202

But after seeing it in person, the faux-fur on the neck is way too much. Anyone have any ideas on other brands? I'm looking for a good, soft cotton jacket w/out the elastic on the waist and cuffs, basically the styling of the Abercrombie w/out the faux-fur.

Kori, I know Manolos are your favorite shoes, but will they become timvp's????

YOU'VE GOT MALE (http://www.vogue.co.uk/vogue_daily/story/story.asp?stid=48910)

AFTER an absence of seven years on the menswear scene, Manolo Blahnik has dusted off his sketchbook - and created a line of men's shoes so fabulous, they are pretty much guaranteed to knock your man's socks off. The six-piece collection runs the gamut from safely stunning (the red suede Oxford brogue), to the outrageously gorgeous (in the shape of leopard print sandal, Bir). "It's not a big collection," reflects the designer, who was honoured with a CBE just a couple of weeks ago. "There are some simple sandals in beautiful materials, and a few classics - with a twist. I thought it was time to bring back some colour into the male wardrobe." Look out for the collection, due in store from February. (November 30 2007, AM)

So, if timvp busted the strap on those sandals, would Kori run away really fast because of the busted strap, or because the sandals are hideous?

Kori, I know Manolos are your favorite shoes, but will they become timvp's????

YOU'VE GOT MALE (http://www.vogue.co.uk/vogue_daily/story/story.asp?stid=48910)

AFTER an absence of seven years on the menswear scene, Manolo Blahnik has dusted off his sketchbook - and created a line of men's shoes so fabulous, they are pretty much guaranteed to knock your man's socks off. The six-piece collection runs the gamut from safely stunning (the red suede Oxford brogue), to the outrageously gorgeous (in the shape of leopard print sandal, Bir). "It's not a big collection," reflects the designer, who was honoured with a CBE just a couple of weeks ago. "There are some simple sandals in beautiful materials, and a few classics - with a twist. I thought it was time to bring back some colour into the male wardrobe." Look out for the collection, due in store from February. (November 30 2007, AM)

:lol

I was just talking to someone else about these. I can't believe Manolo put his name on these! I can see some people wearing the third ones. But WTF is going on with those other two.

Sad, sad.

Blackwell's 2007 list

MR. BLACKWELL'S 48TH ANNUAL WORST-DRESSED WOMEN LIST

10.) Alison Arngrim: "Little Nellie of the prairie, looks like a 1940's fashion editor for the Farmers Almanac."

9.) Lindsay Lohan: "Lindsay the fashion frenzy strikes again! Lohan takes fashion to a new low."

8.) Jessica Simpson: "Forget the Cowboys. In prom queen screams, can it get any worse? She's a global fashion curse!"

7.) Avril Lavigne: "Gothic make-up courtesy the mad spatula-Fashions provided by.. The house of Dracula!"

6.) Eva Green: "Stuck in neon nightmares not fit for the sane. Fashion this loud could give Bond a migraine! A profusion of confusion from toes to nose!"

5.) Kelly Clarkson: "Her heavenly voice soars above the rest... but those belly-baring bombs are hellish at best! She may be the queen of 'Pro-Active' – but that wardrobe looks downright radioactive!"

4.) Fergie: "Another style-free 'Fergie' in fashion's hall of shame? Yes, when it comes to couture chaos, guess it's all in a name!"

3.) Mary Kate Olsen: "YIKES! In layers of cut-rate kitsch, Mary Kate's look is hard to explain... she resembles a tattered toothpick-trapped in a hurricane!"

2.) Amy Winehouse: "Exploding beehives above…tacky polka-dots below... she's part 50's car-hop horror."

1.) Victoria Beckham: "Forget the fashion spice - wearing a skirt would suffice! In one skinny-mini monstrosity after another, pouty posh can really wreck-em."

Britney Spears — Us' Worst Dressed Star of the Year — was left off.

Mr. Blackwell added a note at the end of his list: "For those of you who were expecting to see Britney's name adorn the 2007 list, I felt that it was in appropriate at this time to make comment, when her personal life is in such upheaval. I hope 2008 is a better year for her."

[mrsmaalox]

That was pretty decent of him, leaving Britney off the list. But I believe Amy Winehouse has been in a bit of a downward spiral too! :lol The worst thing about Winehouse isn't the clothes though, it's the "infectious" look she has going on! And I'm much sicker of Posh's sour-puss face than her clothes; does she EVER smile?

Until I saw your post, I thought it was a joke that those shoes were for guys.

Those things are awful!

Acid wash skirt in blue, acid wash jeans, AND acid wash jacket. Bitchin'!

No acid wash collection was complete without a BLACK acid wash skirt.

Of course, one MUST have tapered, high waisted acid wash jeans. White high tops complete this look.
