Two Icons for Spring


Jimmy and Manolo; you don't have to say their last names to instantly know who they are and their sensuous designs.

Here's a quick preview of what spring will show for us.

Here's Jimmy's take on the convertible Hobo ($2175)

Beautiful buttery leather, understated metal hardware, lovely, lovely stitched details.

This is just a lovely modern classic. I'd tie an Hermes scarf (red print of course) to one handle for a touch of color. Smart lasses will snap this one up.

Manolo makes flats. I know darlings, you always think of his sky high heels, but his flats are super lovely. Of course they're comfortable. You can feel the love in every stitch. Yet, when I viewed these little spring monsters, all that came to mind where wretched Doc Martens from the 80s.

Truly adorable little print, but there's something costumey about these shoes, in my heart of hearts I can only see Dorothy using them as an alternative to her ruby slippers.

Thoughts anyone?
