Shoe of the Summer (and beyond)
Jun 4th, 2009 by jazzimcg
A strappy wedge is the perfect shoe to take you from Spring to Summer and on to Fall. The sturdy wedge makes them comfortable for everyday wear, and the strappy details can work work for day or night. We just bought the Aldo pair at right (they’re on sale!) and they’re perfection.
And if you’re up for a splurge, don’t forget this similar style by Chloe!
Aldo Maune Shoes, $140 $99
Bronx Shani Wedge, $149
I like the Dolce Vita version better. http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&navAction=jump&id=16001265&search=true&isProduct=true&parentid=SEARCH+RESULTS&color=01
There is a great new store — only opened three weeks!:
the store is called “pilgrim”…..I heard that they already sold out of two styles of dresses already, but are getting more in next week!!!!!! Can’t wait!
They also sell home, accessories, and art! Really great taste! I ran into a Vogue editor there on Sunday who bought a really great black short dress with a back cut out, but it was also their last one in that style! I also saw Tim Gunn’s co-host of his show on Bravo, I think her name is Greta? shopping there the other day — she got this great courreges lucite ring and Oleg Cassini 1970s sunglasses (vintage unworn). I asked if they had another pair of the Cassini sunglasses, but they didn’t have more, but they had some great 1970s Lanvin sunglasses and some Silhouette sunglasses (I bought the Silhouette’s — very large lenses, but so great!).
They also have great designer vintage dresses from Marni, YSL, Diane Von Furstenberg, Ungaro, Chloe, etc.
The store is near Grand Street on Orchard… I believe 70 Orchard Street??? I also hear that the designer “James Caviello (sp?) is opening right next door to them soon?????? The whole block is amazing!!! Between Broome St. (Saving Khaki and Earnest Sewn (my two faves!) and Amoskegan between Delancey and Broome I believe??? they also do their own clothing line…..great stuff, I love what’s happening to that neighborhood FINALLY!!!!!!
I love the Bronx ones. I was this close to buying those for my shop. Do you own a pair? They are fabulous…great post lady, thanks for sharing!
I’m not sure how comfortable these would be :/ But, they are cute. I like the brown ones best.
Love these. Not sure what I’d wear them with but love them just the same!
