Hilary Duff in Manolo shoe booties - I want that!

Filed under: Get the Look



The always adorable Hilary Duff stepped out at a Manolo Blahnik event in what else, a pair of Manolo shoe booties! She accessorized her shoes with a feminine ruffled Chloe top and Herve Leger skirt. And in true Duff style, she used a belt chain and big, heavy chandelier earrings to toughen things up.

Doesn't she always have the best accessories too? Give us those earrings, then shoot us straight up to heaven because we'd be ready!

• Manolo Blahnik "Vella" shoes, Barneys, $755
• Chloe printed blouse, Net a Porter, $495
• Herve Leger high waisted pencil skirt, Intermix, $550




Designer Manolo Blahnik honored on Rodeo Drive's Walk of Style

Filed under: Events: On the Scene, Shoes

Michael Buckner is a fashion and celebrity photographer who travels around the world taking pictures on the red carpet. He gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the hottest entertainment industry events



Shoes illuminated the night sky above Rodeo Drive's super high-end boutiques like sprinkles on cupcakes.

Designer Manolo Blahnik received the Rodeo Drive Walk of Style Award from the City of Beverly Hills in honor of his contributions to the worlds of fashion and entertainment. What better way to honor a shoe designer than giving him his own 'walk.' And he deserves it. From Sex and The City's Carrie Bradshaw to Marie Antoinettte herself, Blahnik's unique view of women's footwear has made its mark on Hollywood.

Unlike the traditional Hollywood Walk of Fames, where stars litter the boulevard, the Rodeo Walk of Style has been completely classy through its like five years of operation, celebrating only the most well-known names in the world of style.
Blahnik joins style legends Giorgio Armani, Tom Ford, Herb Ritts, Mario Testino, Edith Head, James Acheson, Milena Canonero; Salvatore Ferragamo, Gianni and Donatella Versace and James Galanos.

Pay attention to the shoes in the gallery. They are all Manolo Blahniks, of course.

I want that! Peach Alice + Olivia dress

Filed under: Get the Look


Kelly Ripa is best known as Regis' hilarious and loveable sidekick on "Regis and Kelly." But if you don't watch the show you wouldn't know she's also a loving mother of three. Here she proves her love by taking the kiddies out to a special screening of new children's movie "Fly Me to the Moon" in New York on July 31.

But we aren't heard to discuss parenthood now are we? What we can say is that Kelly has 100% mastered the art of pairing a dress with shoes. Here she looks just (insert corny joke) "peachy" in her eye popping gown. Her look is youthful yet age approp....ah to hell with it! She is just a MILF with great style, period. End article.

• Alice + Olivia tie neck pleated dress, Singer 22, $229

• Manolo Blahnik "Nous", Barney's, $675

That is, unless you have these.

Are cheap shoes a thing of the past?

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes

According to recent research conducted by Mintel, Payless might want to watch its back. The research indicates that over the next five years, the number of shoes purchased each year in the UK is expected to drop by seven percent, according to Manolo the Shoeblogger. And Manolo the Shoeblogger doesn't lie.

And why do I assume that means that cheap shoes are on their way out? Because one-third of the women questioned in the above poll said they now pay more for their shoes, which means that as they make their shoe purchases, they'll be looking for quality over quantity.

What woman do you know who has watched an episode of Sex and the City and not sighed over at least one beautiful pair of designer shoes? Years ago, only a select few were familiar with Manolo Blahnik and Christian Louboutin, and now there are middle-school girls fawning over these sexy heels with the same look in their eyes I had when ogling the members of New Kids on the Block.
