In this terrible time amid non-stop talk of bushfires and the media blitz remember it is important to shop. Many stores, including Coles, David Jones, Myer, Sambag and Jeanswest, are donating profits and/or clothes to the Red Cross and the Salvation Army.
So get out there and shop for your country (and the economy!). Then donate last season’s leftovers. Everyone knows a little bit of Prada will cheer anyone up…
Economy Class:
Mollini:
- I love Mollini because they pretty much nail the latest shoes and boots all for under $200. Check out:
- The very Alaia short patent boots with cuts outs and a peep toe (and cheap but chic of the week in The FiFi Report last year), $138. It’s about wearing short boots with a skirt or shorts. Please do not EVER wear short boots under jeans. Unless you are stuck in a time warp 1998. Hint: tuck jeans into long boots. With short boots you need to flash some leg and show off the boot. Why? Because it’s fashion and we love it. So check out this fabulous look -below- from The Sartorialist. You want a pencil lace skirt, a leather bomber and bare legs. And a clutch.
- Then buy the short black boots with the peep toe and tiny strips, $148. Who cares if they are comfortable or not. I think with the air vent at the peep toe you will be fine to wear right now in summer.
- Love the short, black, very YSL round toe boots with a hidden platform. They are HOT! $198. You will wear them with everything. Except of course jeans. If you wear short boots with trousers they must be short and stop at the ankle to show off the boots. (See the shot of Taylor Tomasi chinos below).
- Checkout the round toe black or red classic pumps with a wide heel, $138. These are simple with no crazy detailing so you should buy them in red. A red shoe (or even two red shoes: makes walking easier) will razz up your wardrobe and lift all the black and navy. Remember this season all we can talk about are surreal heels and crazy statement shoes so if you are not feeling adventurous, or your budget w
on’t stretch to Louis Vuitton, invest in a red shoe. - Another way to add colour and print without spending a fortune is the leopard print, round toe, classic pump with a chunky heel in brown and black suede: The only place to wear leopard is on your feet unless your name is Kate Moss. Sorry to break the news to you: you are not Kate Moss. $158
- There are choc brown, suede peep toes with a chunky heel and a little platform: chic $138. Black and brown is chic, brown and red is chic. Brown and caramel is chic. We love chocolate brown. This will be the closest you will get to eating it.
- Also check out the black lace up heels. We love a lace up shoe. It’s more to do when you are running out the door in the morning but think of it as exercise. $148.
