Marion Cotillard does the 1920s again in Pink, Flapper-Style Bow Pumps!

Karla Manlangit — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 06:51:01 +0000

Seems like only yesterday that this blog featured Marion Cotillard as a chic Adriana, a 1920s flapper darling in the highly-acclaimed Woody Allen film Midnight in Paris. And now, she returns in this era that fits her so well in a yet to be titled drama that coincides burlesque dancing and prostitution.

We see her in these Daily Mail pap shots, donning the flapper gear with, of course, the shoes to match. And they’re hard to miss, being pink and prettily bow’d up.

Cotillard has been spotted filming in Prospect Park, Brooklyn alongside Joaquin Phoenix. Jeremy Renner is also mentioned to appear in this film directed by James Gray. The movie is set to be released next year.

Charlotte Olympia Shoes Join Forces with Victoria Beckham for the New York Fashion Week!

Karla Manlangit — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 12:14:21 +0000

When Victoria Beckham tweeted about having Charlotte Olympia shoes for her New York Fashion Week show, I was immediately on it. I have just heard of Charlotte Olympia a few months ago. I stumbled upon her Priscilla shoes, a striped pink and red wonder in suede, and have since then, considered her a genius. No wonder celebrities are crazy about her shoes.

Well this juicy piece of Fashion Week news proves she has outdone herself once again. She executed a bright, color-block and patterned theme which matches the playful palette of Victoria Beckham’s collection. It’s a ’60s revival on high-heeled Mary Janes and her famous pumps (with chunkier heels), a fun style we’ll be looking forward to next year.

The Best Back-to-School Shoes!

Karla Manlangit — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 17:54:01 +0000

Summer’s over and school’s back! Express your retro and vintage style through your choice of back-to-school shoes. Yes, school may be back but it doesn’t mean your fashion sense has to take a break. Here are a few styles and tips to help you choose which retro and vintage shoes to walk the halls in.

Mary Jane Pump, $38.69, T.U.K.

The classic Mary Janes never fail in school. They’re classically prim and proper, and are perfect for skirts and dresses. They come in all shapes and sizes these days so pick Mary Janes that have a comfortable height and thick heels for all day comfort.

Mockk Slip-On Loafer, $89.95, Steve Madden

Moccasins made a splash this past summer, and it would still be hot for the school year! Lightweight and cool on the feet, moccasin loafers can help you handle long, even brisk, campus walking. It’s no-fuss style for the busy, fashionista braniac!

Anthology T-Strap Sandal, $59.99, Seychelles

Do you go to school where it’s sunny all year? T-strap sandals make the perfect sunny day footwear for school. Get them with embellishments or plain, and wear them with your shorts or jeans. Take note, get sandals with a hint of heel because wearing completely flat shoes all day may not be so comfortable or good on the foot arches as the day wears on.

1460 Boot, $129.95, Dr. Martens

We remember Liv Tyler sporting them as grunge-meets-good-girl footwear in the film, Reality Bites. Now the famous Dr. Martens boots come in an assortment of colors and prints that are clunky yet perfect for trudging about from class to class. Don them with your jeans or dresses and stomp your way to an A+ in school fashion!

Bogolino Ballet Flat, $325.00, Bruno Magli

Surprise your teachers and classmates with some Parisienne chic! Ballet flats are simple but classy shoes that goes well with any outfit. Metallic shades make striking statements against the dreary walls of the school. Wear these flats with your skinny jeans and crop tops to channel Brigitte Bardot teach people a thing or two in glam!

Hope this first lesson of the school year got you psyched for shopping! These featured shoes are available on Endless. Welcome back!
