Dating a Scot? »

A friend of mine was recently set-up with a Scottish fella who showed up to the date wearing a kilt. She was obviously shocked and put-off.  Tip to her date:  Better to share your ancestral tradition with her on the second date.  Who knows, with a little advance notice, she might surprise YOU in these great Bettye Muller Rita plaid pumps.

My old boss fell for the skirt look. This is her husband all dressed up for a benefit at the New York Public Library.

Me and many of my friends started off our careers in Elie Tahari suits. That was five years ago, before the brand had a line of shoes. I certainly would have loved wearing Elie Tahari’s Marjorie with my suits. The wedge wouldn’t have gotten stuck in the cobble stones of my street like my kitten heel pumps did, causing me to spill my coffee every morning as I raced to the subway.

A guy’s take »

The other night my 25-year-old male banker neighbor suggested I post these boots to Little Heel. Always interesting to know what guys like…Though I’d venture to guess there aren’t too many 25-year-old guys shopping for ladies on Hermes.
