Trend Alert: Modern Mules

Modern mules are back with a vengeance.
Barneys New York at ShopStyle

Modern mules are back with a vengeance. I know, it's hard to step out of your comfort zone, but Fab has your back. Notice how new cuts range from feminine and sexy to hard rock cool. Me? I prefer something in the middle like these Taupe Barneys Co-Op Slingback Mules ($495). It's the ultimate balance between funky and fancy. Oh, did I mention modern mules are also quite comfy?

Trend Alert: Goodie Nude Shoes

Nude shoes look great with anything, really.

Nude shoes look great with anything, really. They elongate the leg and are the sexiest neutral around. Or, you can opt to go head-to-toe nude like Penelope Cruz, goodie nude shoes. Her banded Dolce & Gabbana is near nude perfection; her satin Very Prive Louboutins are insanely Fab. I have some classic nude patent Brian Atwood pumps that I always grab in a crunch. It's a worthy investment, but I recommend shopping for your nudes in the flesh to ensure a perfect skin match.

Quote Of The Day: Buying Manolos In London And New York

To this day, the only place to buy Manolos in London is at Monolo's own shop on Old Church Street, a side street in deepest Chelsea.
To this day, the only place to buy Manolos in London is at Monolo's own shop on Old Church Street, a side street in deepest Chelsea. It's a mostly residential area, and a twenty-minute walk from the nearest underground station. It is not convenient to Mayfair's Bond Street or Knightsbridge's Sloane Street, where most of the world's top luxury labels can be found....None of London's other stores are allowed to carry the brand, lest they cannibalize sales from the Old Church Street boutique. For women with a day job, it is nearly impossible to buy a pair of Manolo Blahniks in London. In fact, many of London's serious dressers buy their Manolos in New York, where, thanks to an enterprising franchise partner, George Malkemus, they are available at Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Barneys, and even online, in addition to the Manolo Blahnik boutique, just off Fifth Avenue.

Brian Reyes Fall 2009: Not So Well-Heeled

>> "Another barefoot model on the Brian Reyes catwalk.

>> "Another barefoot model on the Brian Reyes catwalk. And another. What's going on here?"  The Moment twittered this morning.  Apparently, the shoes Brian did in collaboration with Manolo Blahnik weren't too comfortable: viewers lost count of the number of models who toppled, and at least three stopped to take their shoes off.  By the final run of the show — and this never happens — all the models had taken off their shoes and were walking barefoot.  So much for those Manolos, but at least they didn't cause any falls like at Herve Leger earlier this week.

Boy and Band of Outsiders Fall 2009 Full of Insiders

>> After two seasons of videos, Scott Sternberg decided to take his Boy and Band of Outsiders show live, creating tableaux vivants of models in classroom, by a lamppost, resting on a park bench, or reading a book on a bed — "I want to use the groupings, or vignettes, to create microcosms within this vast space."  Props to the man for being one of the first, if not the first this week to rent a space big enough to hold his presentation and all the guests invited comfortably.  Kanye West hit up this show too, and Jason Wu, who shares the same stylist with Sternberg, Tina Chai.

The sportwear label clearly has some major fans — Meredith Melling Burke was running around, camera out — which I've never seen her do — and got up close and personal with the brightly-colored, ankle-tied high heel bowling shoes that Boy collaborated with Manolo Blahnik on; they did look outstanding against the contrasting tights with color-tipped toes.

Fab Blab: Designers Divulge Their 2009 Resolutions

I asked you what your New Year's fashion resolutions are, and most of you either want to buy better quality clothing or give yourself a shopping budget.

I asked you what your New Year's fashion resolutions are, and most of you either want to buy better quality clothing or give yourself a shopping budget. Fair enough. Now let's see what some famous shoe designers, like Giuseppe Zanotti (left, with Eva Mendes), vow to do in 2009.

Giuseppe Zanotti

  • To follow my own instinct more and less of what others say; to eat less fatty food; to drink less wine; to do more exercise; and to spend more time with my children.

Nicholas Kirkwood

  • Working with more factories, expanding my range, launching a men’s line.

Celebrity Style: Molly Sims

Simplicity can be such a beautiful sight sometimes.

Simplicity can be such a beautiful sight sometimes. Behold Molly Sims at the Geoffrey Beene fashion scholarship dinner. It probably took her a total of 10 minutes to throw on that entire outfit: the black Josef Statkus strapless jumpsuit, strappy studded sandals, black cocktail ring, and metallic snakeskin clutch. Still, she looks super fashionable and effortless. Follow Molly's lead and buy yourself a flattering black jumpsuit. It will come in handy when you're seeking a no-fuss, but sassy, party look.
