Ikat, You Kat, We All Kat

By The New Girl

Oscar de la Renta Ikat Ballerina Oscar de la Renta taps into whatever sense of downtown cool he’s secretly hiding under his nest of Upper East Side lady-dom with this Ikat Ballerina. True blue: Yes. And so fresh looking underneath a long, formal wedding gown.

Wade Through The Water

Prada Fall 2009If Miuccia Prada says fishing waders are important…well, then they are.  But how to wear them?  Er, show your naturist husband-to-be how much you really care and agree to the camping honeymoon he’s been pushing for. But only is he supplies the Prada.

Marc Jacobs Leather and canvas Patchwork HeelThese Marc Jacobs shoes are $1695. They are also fabulous. And by fabulous I mean insane. Which is why they are Marc Jacobs. And $1695.

Fit To Be Tied(-Dyed)

By The New Girl

Moschino Cheap and Chic Tie Dye Open Toe Sling Back SandalsMy latest blue shoe love, also from Moschino Cheap and Chic. Because while tie-dyed t-shirts are totally fifth grade, a tie-dyed heel is totally…graduate school? Analogies fail: This shoe rocks.

Show Your Feathers

By The New Girl

Moschino Cheap & Chic Ruffle PumpA brilliant bride friend of mine is currently in the process of seeking a show perfect for vow-saying and move-busting equally.  And in peacock blue, no less.  I’m mad for a bright, colorful shoe — especially on a bride! — and think this is a lovely way to play into the whole “something blue” idea without, well, seeming like you’re trying.  (Also, snaps to brilliant friend’s brilliant groom, who is seeking a subtly-coordinating tie.)

And yet — Grandma will be in attendance. (See previous post.) Compromise is on the way: Putty-colored shoes are so fresh and modern, yet conservative enough to wear at even the most traditional events. These Manolo Blahniks are sexy yet classy and beckon forth all the things that future classics are made of.
