Alber Elbaz can make anything cool. Witness these beige leather stilettos, which have what looks suspiciously like (dare I speak its name?) an ankle bracelet. That particular piece of jewelry is not one I’ve ever been able to embrace as a style trend. But now... Worth noting: The chain detaches, so you could wear these heels without it—but, more likely, means you’ll flaunt this ankle accessory with all your other shoes.
I worship a good music mash-up (Miley and Biggie, Lil Wayne and the Office theme, anything Girl Talk). These tomato red shoes are kind of the footwear version of that idea. They’re platforms, stilettos, peep-toes, and slingbacks in one—plus a buckle! And just like Glee’s Halo/Walking on Sunshine medley, totally rock.
This is not your mother’s purse (which I say with authority since my mother owns a Speedy). Same basic shape made of monogram canvas, but this new version is entirely plastered with black velvet flowers and grey sequins. Because while I love my mother dearly, neither of us wants to be carrying identical bags.
