I’ve always worn espadrilles. OK, off and on since 7th grade. I remember my first pair were a navy low-wedge pair from Pappagallo. I was literally too cool for school. At any rate, I can’t count how may pairs of flat espadrilles I have had over the years. Their purpose is to get you through one summer (hopefully – as [...]

Spring 2013 Shoe Trend: More Perforated Shoes

0 by / on May 21, 2013, 10:00 am / in Blahnik Tonic, Second City Style Blog, Trends

Back in March I wrote a post on the hot trend of perforated accessories, but now I want to focus on shoes. Mostly because I recently added a pair of perforated shoes (Cole Haan Oxfords) to my wardrobe and I have to say, everyone should have a pair. For one, they look cool and two, they are cool…as in they [...]

I just adore these Valentino Chantilly Lace and Mesh Espadrilles, $475, but I’m sorry…there is no way in hell I would pay nearly $500 for a pair of espadrilles in lace, no less. They will be trashed after a few wearings and God forbid you get caught in the rain. They’re done. So can I find the look of a [...]

Yes, we know espadrilles are nothing new. I had wedge Papagallo espadrilles in high school, then sometime in college I had the flats and ones that wrap around my calves.

0 by / on April 22, 2013, 1:00 pm / in Blahnik Tonic, Second City Style Blog, Trends

Brogues or Oxfords are actually not a new trend. Not by a long shot. They made an appearance last year as a spring shoe trend, but thankfully they are back again for Spring ’13. I know you may be thinking, “aren’t they meant for men?” They were, but think about it. It’s too late in the season to wear boots, [...]
