Prickly by Jeffrey Campbell
That innocent mary-jane look you know and love? Forget about it. Mary’s gone to the dark side and won’t be back any time soon. She’s kept her buckled strap—a relic of brighter times—but living the city life has made her otherwise unrecognizable. She’s grown up—six and a half inches, to be precise. And she’s mean....
Julie by Dolce Vita
True, it’s the dead of winter. If you want to dwell on that, be our guest. Us? We’re looking forward to spring weather and spring trends. One of those trends is a return to bold, bright colors and strong, clean graphics. The Julie by Dolce Vita in melon suede is right at the heart of...
Wyatt Harness Short by Frye
This boot is by Frye. Buy it. Why the pushiness, you ask? We’ve been wearing Fryes since, well, since a long time ago. The company dates back to the Civil War and while we’re not that old, some of their signature styles are. Case in point: the harness boot. No matter how many times we...
Caballero by Freebird By Steve Madden
What better way to start off a new year than with a brand-new line from one of our stalwarts, Steve Madden? The Freebird by Steve Madden is a small collection that debuted at market this fall … and we just got ours in. Handmade in Mexico from vintage wool blankets and flamboyantly cut leathers, the...
Grip by Pajar
One thing we really like about the Grip from Canadian favorite Pajar is its utter lack of fuss. There is no pretense of fashion, no “effortlessly transitions from workplace to night life,” no exotic skins, intricate patterns or “urban-chic” trappings. This boot is for surviving the winter. You may define “surviving” as you wish—from navigating...
Knockout by Lori’s Shoes Capsule Collection
We certainly were. Oh, “knocked out,” that is, when we saw these playful and powerfully colored pumps come out of the box. Lori’s new capsule collection for fall/winter 2011-12 comprises three unique styles, each of which reflects an aspect of Lori’s personality. The structured, clean Bamma; the confident and flirty Kimber and now the playful...
Kimber by Lori’s Shoes Capsule Collection
As you can probably guess, we here at Lori’s Shoes are very excited about (and partial to) the new Lori’s Shoes Capsule Collection, Lori’s first foray into the design side of shoes. After almost 30 years in the retail business, she knows a thing or two about what works, what sells and why. For her...
Bamma by Lori’s Shoes Capsule Collection
The boss designed them, so we’ll let the boss describe them: “The peep toe BAMMA in patent leather speaks to me the most … trendy, but still tailored and easy to wear. I refer to this style as ‘classic, yet trendy.’” We have a few choice adjectives to add, such as “H-O-T HOT,” “must-have,” “LOLZOMGFYIWTF!”...
Show You by Enzo Angiolini
We don’t know about you (but if you’re reading this we’re guessing we know), but holiday party season is a really thrilling time. The chances to embarrass ourselves before our professional peers are legion … and a welcome relief from quotidian, private, family blunders. We’ll be the first to tell you that these Enzo Angiolinis...
A1131-G by Strategia
With the A1131 in Gold by Strategia, we think Lori’s has reached a new recipe of retro bad-assedness. Take one part vintage Michael Jackson, one part ultimate Billy Idol, and—why not—toss in some Joan Jett, The Darkness and a pinch of Lou Reed for flavor, strain through Italian design sensibilities and serve H-O-T hot. (For...
Eagle by Bed-Stu
Once a week (or, you know, thereabouts) we trot out our favorite new footwear and tell you what we like about it and how we would wear it. Rarely do we get to also welcome a wholly new collection to our fold. Today is that day and we are thrilled. Customers, meet Bed Stü. Bed...
Lita-Fringe by Jeffrey Campbell
We know, we know: “Lita lita lita blah blah blah blah.” We talk about the Lita by Jeffrey Campbell the way your distant high school friends on Facebook repost their lolcats submissions. The problem is that the Lita is just LEGIT. That five-and-a-half-inch heel, a two-and-a-quarter-inch platform, the simple, insouciant badassedness of this shoe has...
