Answering a reader’s question earlier this week on stylish winter coat options made me think about winter boots. Sure practically everyone has Uggs by now, but I’m finally starting to hear people give some negative feedback about them (I don’t own a pair myself…just not my style). For one, I’m told they’re ugly, even from [...]

So I’ve decided that after this week is over, I’m throwing myself a party. Perhaps a birthday party even though my birthday isn’t for a while.

So last week, I went shoe shopping, and came up with nada. I was kind of disappointed because I realized fall is really here, and my shoe/boot collection, although plentiful, doesn’t have the staples in it that I’d like.

Now that it’s September and “back-to-school”, I always seem to find myself in a little bit of a drab mood. It’s like the mini-depression you feel in January after the holidays when you realize: a) you’ve eaten too much b) you’ve spent too much and c) winter is too damn long. It’s after Labor Day, [...]

Q: Do you think any of the fall shoe trends (clogs, over-the-knee boots) are work appropriate? A: Ooohh, that’s a good question. Well, I always caution that it depends on the type of industry you work in. If you’re a lawyer, definitely not. If you work in a creative field, and/or work in a more [...]
