Shoe of the Day: Francesca Castagnacci Fiber-Optic Pump
Thursday, July 29th, 2010
At first glance, these illuminating shoes may remind you of the toy flashlights at Disney World. Made up of fiber-optic strands that have been woven into ribbons, they twinkle when on your toes—kind of like a modern-day glass slipper, but ...

LOOK OF THE DAY: HERVE LEGER FW10
Thursday, July 29th, 2010
I'm not sure which I love more—the Herve Leger brand, or model Jac. Recently, I watched the Herve Leger FW10 show, and—when I saw Jac in the flirty closing number that fit her like a glove—I (in the words of ...

SHOE OF THE DAY: CHLOE SUEDE WEDGE BOOTIE
Wednesday, July 28th, 2010
Yes, I know; I am boot-obsessed. Just ask the fellas who helped me move into my new apartment. The typical complaint was something to the effect of, "Moira, listen. You just have way too many shoes." This, after I had ...

Look of the Day: A Little Bit Country
Wednesday, July 28th, 2010
This outfit is a little bit country (the cowboy boots) and a little bit rock ‘n’ roll (the vintage band tee)—styles that seem like opposites, but make for one great outfit. Something about the ensemble says, “I may look sweet, ...

Shoe of the Day: Helen Furber Eco-Friendly Bootie
Tuesday, July 27th, 2010
Futuristic and eco-friendly, I'm loving this platform bootie by designer Helen Furber. Made from Soil Association-certified organic leather, the shoe was made so that each part can be recycled once the wearer is ready to retire it. Fashion that hugs ...

LOOK OF THE DAY: BATTLE OF THE SEQUINED JUMPSUITS
Tuesday, July 27th, 2010
The couture shows are always a highlight for me; I revel in the whimsical fantasy associated with the full-on glamorous pieces, as well as the imagination and magnificent amount of work that go into creating them. The Fall 2010 season ...

Shoe of the Day: Tabitha Simmons Thigh-High Boots
Monday, July 26th, 2010
Even if the laces were the only means of strapping these Pre-Fall Tabitha Simmons thigh-high lovers on, I'd spend the hour when time permitted. The fact that the hidden back zipper makes for easy access means that I can honestly ...

SHOE OF THE DAY: ALEXANDER WANG POLINA BOOT
Sunday, July 25th, 2010
Although he's the fashion industry's golden boy of the moment, FW10 made evident Alexander Wang's darker side—and his black-goat-fur-on-black-leather "Polina" boot is the perfect example. Heading into the new season, the sexy boot—heavy in fall's must-have fur—is undoubtedly a smart ...

In the spirit of summer, I have found myself gravitating toward all things natural—which is likely why this look caught my eye. Wearing all white, including a long flowy sweater and a flower headband, free spirit Rachel Lynch of Velvet ...

Shoe of the Day: Givenchy Sequined Nappa Boots
Saturday, July 24th, 2010
Reminiscent of Dorothy’s ruby-red slippers, these sequined, ruby-red lace-up boots by Givenchy seem made for a more fashion-forward Oz. If I could style a remake, I’d put Dorothy in skin-tight leather pants, a loose tank and these bad boys. She’d ...

I love this look—layered black and white basics, as worn by model Freja Beha Erichsen. I'm a huge fan of the plain white tee; add a fitted blazer and steel-toe motorcycle boots, and you have a perfect example of badass ...
