Monica Botkier was known for years as the designer of one of the hottest “it” handbag lines. While she still designs that handbag line, and it is still hot as ever, she added shoes to her design roster a few years back. Just like her handbags, her shoes are truly amazing. They are fashion forward, comfortable, well made, beautiful and classics. Being an accessory fanatic, Monica Botkier is my kind of girl, a girl after my own heart, and at times, my wallet . Now if she would only start designing jewelry…But in the meantime, here is a sneak peek into designer Monica Botkier. Read the rest of this entry »

While we were in NYC for fashion week Hilary and I decided to explore a fabulous vintage store What Comes Around Goes Around.

Of course, every morning before leaving our hotel we made sure we had gathered all the addresses of the stores we wanted to visit, in order to make it as pain free fo as possible for our driver–the poor man needed a serious vacation after we left!

Anyway that day we decided to start by the meat market district and after a heavy lunch at a Cuban restaurant, our guilt was so strong that Hilary decided we should walk to the vintage store located on West Broadway.

Needless to say that I was kind of unhappy about the walk, but afterall it was a beautiful day and we ate fried food! And Hilary was so confident about the place being three blocks away!

We decided to walk up on Broadway. To make a long story short, after walking over 20 blocks without finding the store, my feet were screaming for mercy, but Hilary was very sure that we would find the store soon that we kept on going.

However on the way we had to stop at Bloomingdales because I needed a pair of flip flops in order to avoid foot amputation.

I couldn’t believe Hilary still had the energy to look for boots. As I was collapsing from exhaustion, she tried these Xena boots on and they looked fabulous on her. I really like the long cuff that covers the boots allowing a flirty peak of the heel and toe. She was totally rocking them.

Yikes… I’m not down with these. Just not my style. Cheetah print shoes are taking it a step too far for me ,and by "it" I mean animal prints. Just really unimpressed. Boo. But hey, there might be some gal out there ready to rock these.
