Manolo the Columnist: Idalia Splatter Fringe Thong Sandal from Dolce Vita - Manolo says, here is the Manolo’s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post.

On the one of the hands, Platform is the compelling book. On the other of the hands, in the words [...]

FN Shoe Star, Episode 12 - Manolo says, the 12th episode of the FN Shoe Star is now available for your viewing pleasure. This week, the remaining designers are given the new challenge, to design the shoes for the bride who will be wearing the Vera Wang dress to her Puerto Rican wedding. (And, no, that is not the punchline to [...]

Risp Knotted Peep-Toes from Manolo Blahnik For the Tax Day Monday - Manolo says, it is Monday and … TAX DAY!!!! TAX DAY!!!! TAX DAY!!!! TAX DAY!!!! TAX DAY!!!! Here is the Manolo’s best advice…put the thick envelope with the 1040 into the mail box, open the bottle of the mid-priced chardonnay, pour yourself the big glass, and stare at this for several minutes… The Risp Knotted [...]

Shoes! The Musical! - Manolo shouts, Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! P.S. Found, photographed, and forwarded to the Manolo by the Legatrix, and for that the Manolo thanks her profusely. P.S.S. Here is the description of the show.
