Happy Feet

For all of you with a shoe size in the 35-36 range, you make me very jealous!

Lanvin Flat

Patent flats are a definite must for fall, especially when they are Lanvin. The square toe on this pair makes them a bit more unique, but I'm sure no less comfortable (I can't seem to take mine off!)

Pretty as a Picture

This Prada dress is a TINY Sz 38. It would be great for a fall wedding with those velvet Manolo mary-janes and the Lanvin necklace we posted earlier.

Just in: Jet Black

A statement necklace is a must for fall. This one from Lanvin has an elegant art deco look that can work with anything from a white t-shirt to an evening gown.

Lanvin Flat

These fucshia flats are fabulous. The combination of satin and patent is striking. Jewelry for your feet! Sz 38.5.

Lanvin Dress

We have a combination of these two Lanvin dresses from SS 2007! The Closet's version is a smokey grey color, size 40. It has lots of properly placed pockets and zippers, as well as the requisite belt, so your waist will hopefully look as little as Valentina's!

Twinkle Toes

Show off your pretty pedicures in these perfect summer sandals. From the left...Jean-Michel Cazabat, Lanvin, Missoni, and J. Crew!

Blue & Cream

This color combination is perfect for summer. I love Balenciaga's pure white version of a chic and modern gladiator sandal. The Lanvin slides will work in Beacon Hill or Nantucket. Finally, Ferragamo's white patent tote can take you from the office to the beach. It's nice to have the idea of a clear bag, without the entire world seeing all your stuff!

Must Try!

I just want to take a moment to remind my fellow shoppers of the importance of trying on a garment, regardless of how it looks on the hanger. Case in point: A couple of weeks ago we received a black silk kimono dress by Lanvin. It had wide dolman sleeves, a big belt, and narrow skirt. I hate to say it, but it looked rather unremarkable. The dress remained on the hanger for a few weeks, NOBODY wanted to try it on! Finally, a smart shopper arrived (from Vermont no less) who was game. It looked AMAZING and went home with her in a matter of minutes. This is a lesson to all of you who have ever looked at a piece of fabric resting carelessly on a plastic frame and thought, "mmmm I don't think so." Please, just try it on. What do you have to lose? The most perfect Lanvin dress is all!

Here are some lovely black patent flats, size 38.5...if you would rather pay three times as much at Barneys be my guest!
