Pradaaaa

Black & Strappy

Makes us Happy!

Jimmy Choo sandals, Size 8 1/2

Snow White

You might not think that a white shoe can be worn in the winter, but this Alexander McQueen pump would work. Sz 38...not even a scratch on the sole!

SO Boston

Stubbs & Wootton's sought after slippers, all brand new, all size 9 1/2. I like the black velvet pair embroidered with a bunny the best.

Fancy Fancy

En Pointe

All Size 9!

A Perfect Pump

Bottega Veneta's woven (and never worn) pump, Sz 38.

Lovely Louboutin

Size 39.5...Brand new!

Marni Wedge

It doesn't look like these Marni wedges are that easy to walk in, but who cares, shoes this beautiful (and brand new) are really meant for sitting anyway!

Twinkle Toes

Martin Margiela is one of a kind in the fashion world. In addition to his unique approach to design and marketing (or lack thereof) I really appreciate his tendency to create items that even the most non-crafty person such as myself could reproduce. Like these glitter covered shoes!

Shoe Parade

Every now and then a rainy day can be a blessing in disguise. The torrential downpours kept the majority of people inside and off Newbury Street yesterday, which enabled us to unpack and tag over 50 pairs of the most wonderful Italian shoes. We have Manolos and Marni as well as Prada sandals, Chanel mules, and many more. They are mostly size 37.5/38.

Prada Wedge

These are really awesome lightly worn Prada sandals, Sz 39, in multi-colored snakeskin. Don't they remind you of those sweet patchwork bags from the eighties?!

Manolos

Black suede slingback. Sz 40. Never worn!

Jelly shoes!

This summer I decided that I am not going to wear flip flops. I hear they are actually a terrible form of footwear, and I hate how dirty my feet become. Perhaps I will bring a pair down to the Cape, but they really don't belong in the city.





These fun plastic jellies ($20 at Aldo) were recommended to me by a trusted shoe connoisseur and friend of The Closet, one who happens to have the best collection of flats that I know. I was a little unsure at first, but my friend was right. They took me from a day wandering the Harbor Islands to dinner back in the city, and I can report that I am blister free and had clean feet when I got home!

Little Feet

I think Tory Burch's flats look a million times more precious on little girls than those who wear a size 9, but I do find this NY TIMES photo shoot really cute!

Colorful Shoes

The Closet says: Sometimes it is easier to start with a bright shade on the bottom!

Prada Platform

Just in: Tory Burch "Reva" Flat

These incredibly comfortable ballerina flats by Tory Burch don't usually make it onto the floor (last week an orange/gold pair was snatched right off the waiting-to-be-tagged pile!) So If you have a little foot (6 1/2) and need a silver pair for the summer, come see us at The Closet!

***I am really wishing I took a picture of our little neighbor next door who was flaunting the kids version last week...SO cute!

Pucci Flats!!!

They will probably be gone by tomorrow, but they are SO LOVELY I couldn't resist a picture...size is 37 1/2

Pretty Prada

Both unworn, Sz 38

Pierre Hardy for Gap

I just received my most favorite new summer sandals from The Gap's "European Collection"  by Pierre Hardy. I have been waiting for these to appear online for a while now, and when they did, I knew my search for the perfect gold gladiator sandal was over. They are divine. It is a rare occasion that one can walk for 30 minutes in a brand new pair of sandals, and feel NO PAIN, but I did! I can enjoy them even more knowing that they cost less than $80, but were designed by the creative director of Hermes!

This Boot is Work!

A glamorous lady came into the store yesterday wearing a very exceptional pair of boots. Upon glancing at the scarlet red sole, I correctly took them to be Christian Louboutin, "on sale, most likely coming to you next year!" she laughed. The gray suede boots reached up her entire leg, already elongated by a 5 inch stiletto heel. I have no doubt our friend was the most stylish woman on Newbury Street that day, yet I couldn't help but wonder how she got them on! The New Yorker (imagine that) explained it all to me this evening:

Lanvin Flats

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