Are they actually good snow boots? Isabel Marant Nowles boots review
Joining the ranks of Julius Caesar and Joni Mitchell Leonard Cohen*, I am also as constant as the Northern Star. … at least when it comes to my brand loyalty for “nice” boots. Loeffler Randall boots are just “fine.” Christian Louboutin boots are so sophisticated. … and, ummm, hmmm, well, this is embarrassing… You see,…

Are These Sneakers Actually Super? A Golden Goose Review
It took me 3 years to make my Adidas Stan Smith sneakers look loved (read: distressed). Whereas it took 3 days to get my order and 3 seconds to take my Golden Goose sneakers out of the box and have them look already loved (hint: they’re pre-distressed). … but without those 3 years of loving…

Debunking THE Instagram shoe | Chanel Dad Sandals review
From the OTT “new Bottega” bunch, the bisou Paris vintage crowd, the Scandi norm-core pack, even the #CottageCore crowd, everyone on Instagram dresses the same. While I will moan and complain about how Instagram ruined personal style, I still got sucked in and bought a pair of the most Instagrammy ~influencer~ shoes that transcends every…

Something feels off… | a Loeffler Randall Goldy boots review
Knee high boots are tough to buy. … at least I think they are. This is probably why, other than my Isabel Marant Denvee boots, I’ve never really bought a pair. There’s never really been a pair that stepped up to the plate — despite how much I’ve always want some knee high boots. ……

Weird sizing, but so cute | an Ancient Greek Sandals review
For the longest time I’ve held out on buying Ancient Greek Sandals. Truth be told, it’s because I’m brand loyal to K.

Comfortable, Conscientious, AND Cool | Laiik Greek Sandals Review
Do you have a list of vacations you want to take once things are more settled? I do. It starts and ends with Greece. I want to eat my body weight in spanakopita every day & night. … and explore the cobble stone corners that are laden with cats. … and float on endlessly in…

Sizing is off, but.. | Saint Laurent Nu Pieds Tribute Sandal Review
In the last decade, so much has changed at Yves Saint Laurent. First, Hedi Slimane changed the name from Yves Saint Laurent to simply “Saint Laurent” … then he left and Anthony Vaccarello came roaring in. Vaccarello kept Hedi’s cool-gang party going, but brought even more sex appeal with him. One thing that has stayed…

From sizing to quality: An Isabel Marant Dicker Boots Review

They’re SO 90’s | an in-depth The Row Ginza Sandals Review
For two reasons, The Row’s Ginza shoes remind me of Blondie’s hit song, “One Way or Another.” 1- “One Way or Another” was featured in the 1998 classic film, The Rugrats Movie, when Angelica scales cliffs in inclement weather to try and find her beloved Cynthia doll. 2- While I didn’t scale cliffs to find…

These flats are NOT demi-done | A Margaux Shoe Review
Honestly, after those Italic flats, I’m so over DTC brands. They’re never quite as good as they claim to be. … but every now and then, Margaux has crossed my web browsing. My close friend, Cassandra, keeps talking about them too (is Google reading my iMessages? (jk, I know they’re end-to-end encrypted… or are they??)).
