CHANNELING YOUR INNER VERSAILLES: BROWN SHOE AND FFANY

Well! I got to see the brand-new super fabulous Brown Shoe showroom today. It is truly divine. For those of you who follow chaussures, you know that this week is FFANY here in New York. That means that thousands of shoe designers and buyers and retailers and shoe obsessed descend on the Pier 94 and various showrooms around the city and talk one thing: shoe.

This morning I got to see Fall 2007 for Via Spiga (gorgeous grey Mary Janes for city girls) and meet the fab new designer, Naturalizer (the new Signature line which is shinily divine and is flying out of the stores), Franco Sarto (city ladies -- there is a MAJOR heel in that line you will freak out over!), Dr. Scholls (note to self: buy multiples pairs of the super lightweight bright colored Scholls for beach this summer), Carlos Santana (gorgeous hunter green high heel oxfords anyone?), and Etienne Aigner (loooove the classics!).

NATURALIZER SHOE PARTY

Went to a fab shoe party last night, and you know how i love a good shoe party. hello! got to preview this fab new line from naturalizer and meet the super-cute gretta monahan. oh my goodness. the production on these shoes is truly amazing (much better than many a high-end designer selling at three times the price i might add.) am so happy, someone has finally answered the call that us nyc women have been sending out to the universe for hot shoes we can buy under the $200 price point! see? say a shoe prayer and you will be answered!
ps. those ballet flats you see are my faves!
