“Tabitha’s collection looked lovely this season, especially if you are into florals. Lace is more my speed though, especially in underwear unexpected white. Would make a pretty wedding shoe too.”

“The ultimate #shoewithaview at Tabitha Simmons. Raffia embroidered floral Hermione Mary-Janes with the Jardin Tuileries as a picturesque backdrop.”
“When Level Shoe District’s head of buying Alberto Oliveros told me I would fall hard for Aperlaï’s first espadrilles, he was right. Designer Alessandra Lanvin’s cheeky flatform version replaced ho-hum roping for foil bonbon wrappers. How French.”
“Black and navy will always be a big ‘do’ for me. It was hard to put these Roger Vivier Sneaky Viv kicks down, let me tell you. It’s not everyday I see sneakers that qualify as Black Tie. And once Ines de la Fressange chimed in that they were her favorites too? Game over.”
“A little iridescence goes a long way at Longhamp. Sure, my magpie side was drawn to the shiny surface at first, but upon closer inspection, I really like the new higher vamp on these leather ballerinas. Something a little different.”
“A little nautica goes a long way at Rupert Sanderson. Just add Breton stripes and Sonia Rykiel sailor trousers.”
“I have never been to a music festival (thankfully) but in my fashion fantasy, I’d go full-on ’60s flower power psychedelia in these Roger Vivier wedges.”
“Regal at Roger Vivier. Wouldn’t these be smashing on Queen Elizabeth II? I could see them on the Duchess of Cambridge too with a skinny jean and tailored jacket.”
“Speaking of royalty, if Marie Antoniette were alive today, these shocking pink Roger Vivier platforms would be her party shoes. So decadent.”
“Nicholas Kirkwood has been busy celebrating his 10th anniversary this season. And what could be more NK then a futuristic flat? I’m into how he’s doing more neutrals and exotics lately.”
“Another favorite at Nicholas Kirkwood: this glossy and graphic peep-toe bootie. I never tire of this silhouette.”
“Pedro Garcia always has the most supple leathers and tactile treatments. This leather fringed moccasin is a prime example.”
“Paul Andrew was inspired by Hong Kong and the film In The Mood For Love. Gilded cork wedges with oversize tassels were almost as ornate as the Notre Dame setting.”
“At Robert Clergerie, creative director Roland Mouret’s London base clearly rubbed off on him. Block heels and broguing are Savile Row meets Carnaby Road.”
“My favorite Alexandre Birman designs are the ones that capture his Brazilian roots. The swirl on these sandals is from Rio’s famous boardwalk. And super chic in black.”
“Another shoe I didn’t want to put down: Alexandre Birman’s blush suede bootines, which look right at home at Hotel Le Bristol. The whipstitching was a nice touch too.”
“Francesco Russo loves a stiff high collar. It works on pointed pumps, but I was also drawn to this leopard flatform sandal version. Pink and red is also an irresistible combo.”
“Pierre Hardy told us he’s calling this new sneaker-espadrilles hybrid ‘basketdrilles.’ Very cool in raw Japanese denim.”
“Even though these brown leafy booties were from Francesco Russo’s spring ’16 collection, they were a clear reminder that fall has arrived.”
“At Ines de la Fressange’s new showroom, there was charm to spare. But these vintage style v-strap pumps caught my eye in a print I’m calling Left Bank Leopard. The perfect shoes for the top floor of Cafe Flore.”
