MISS MEGHAN'S FLIP-FLOP ALTERNATIVES

perhaps you have a long commute in the morning? perhaps you have to look semi-professional to and fro? or perhaps even the flip-flops have done damage to your back from days on end of city wear? whatever the reason, here are a few Miss Meghan-sanctioned flip-flop alternatives to rock this summer!

1) Seychelles sweet jade green Ballet Flat.
I like this because it has sturdy heel support and a rubber sole for extra cushioning on hard city streets.



2) Get your funk on with some tie-dyed skimmer flats!




3) If you must go sneaker, Miss Meghan looooooves the Tretorn!!!


4) The ever chic Delman! this one is major because it has a hidden slight wedge heel inside the sole giving you a little lift up! Or lift off. Either way.




5) Or get your fabulous on with the Fabia. Yes we know what it rhymes with.


MISS MEGHAN WEIGHS IN ON THE EVER POPULAR FLIP-FLOP

from Belinda's fab article:

"Style gurus warn that flip-flops, which are worn mainly by younger women, could be harmful to a career.

"Shoes convey the mood of a woman. Wearing flip-flops conveys the mood that you are relaxed and on vacation. That's not a good message in the office," said Meghan Cleary, a style commentator who wrote the book "The Perfect Fit: What Your Shoes Say About You."

Doctors say it's not just careers they could harm. . ."

MISS MEGHAN BRAVELY FACES THE CONDE

i am not a size 4 or 2. i am a size 30 jeans. i eat lots of chocolate. my skin is not perfect. i do not have a perfect life.

STRANGERS WITH CANDY AND AMY SEDARIS' GREEN SHOES

last night thinkfilms (the brilliant distributor that also had the foresight to distribute boys of baraka) premiered strangers with candy here in new york. amy sedaris looked positively glowing in a pink sundress and cute green strappy stiletto sandals, steven colbert looked dapper in a suit, and many of the letterman crew showed up to show support, paul shaeffer who looked positively orange and then that guy with the red hair. we filled our giant candy bags with purple m&m's at dylan's candy bar afterward and i rocked my giuseppe zanotti turqoise patent leather wedges. another case of me being so obsessed with my shoes, i could hardly take my gaze away from my feet! rocked the bramm jeans and a luca luca silk jersey top that honestly, was like buttah. yeaAH! as little jon would say.

MISS MEGHAN GOES BAREFOOT


after puncturing the gorgeous lawn at the old derby for an hour with my gold satin stilettos, i finally decided it was time to take them off. i was much shorter, but happier, barefoot for the remainder of jason and heather's most gorgeous and loving wedding. me and all the cousins were spanxed to the max, and after a day of reclining at the ever-cute nantasket beach hotel, i was really ready for some dancing. fortunately heather's cousin is broadway dancer who led us all in a wild rendition of janet jackson's all for you, among others. coast guards, champagne, a setting sun and plenty of toasts rounded off the evening.

note to self: if you get lost on route 228, call your mom to let her know.

STILETTO STRATEGIES© IN CHICAGO



chicago is certainly a fabulous town, and who knew so much fashion happening? flew in tuesday and was immediately whisked to bliss in the W where janiese gave me a sumptuous almond-milk mani/pedi and painted my toenails a delicious magenta. bliss chicago has a gorgeous view of the lake through cutout windows and the whole team was very sweet, giving us brownies and lemonade and all sorts of good things. then we ran back to annemarie's apt where we did a quick change. i slipped into my hot pink marni dress and courtney crawford black cutout 4-inch stilettos, and annemaire in her tsmori chisato. then back to bliss for stiletto strategies with miss meg. we had a fantasic crowd, jodi cohen the amazing reporter who broke the flip-flop flap story last summer from the chicago tribune stopped by as did melissa maynard from runwaytoretail and factio magazine, with her fab writers. then it was off to japonai, chicago's answer to nobu, where the drinks were fizzy and the sushi was fantastic.

wednesday i hit josephine, a must-visit store for all shoe whores. i was gasping. diana broussard, alexandra neel, jil sander, brian atwood (see black pumps above) and emma hope just to name a few, all displayed in a real jewelbox of a store, elegant mirrored vanities, superb lighting and a well-edited collection that made me think i was in my own closet! then i hit active endeavors, the shopbop of chicago, where daryly k sits next to cynthia vincent and paige denim, and c. ronson sandals (see metallic sandals above) play with tara subkoff wedges. kelly o'brien stopped by, a fellow michigander and head of genart chicago for an outfit for her Q event that evening. we chatted about all things nyc and michigan and whether the empire waist looked better belted or pregnant (unbelted). decided on pregnant. then i headed to argo and sipped a quick iced decaf with soy, the most relaxing coffeshop ever.

next it was off to pilsen, where i was wined and dined in style at the 5,000 square foot 1850's brick three story townhouse that sandi and eric saved from being torn down and have renovated into their fabulous living space as well as a place for artists, musicians and DJ's to hang. spongebob on the huge theater was quite a treat with 4-year old june who cracked me up constantly.

zooming back to nyc on thursday, i got to read shari goldhagen's fabulous and beautiful new book, family and other accidents, . then hit westville where i sat next to michael kors and we sang along to patsy cline, him in key, me off key. aah. i loved chicago but i do love being back in my west village abode.
