Manolo for the Big Girl

Now we all know the Irish are going to get their little green butts whooped up on by the vastly superior Welsh rugby team tomorrow in Six Nations rugby action, but just because the (still vastly superior) Welsh are going to beat up on them like the redheaded stepchildren they undoubtedly are doesn’t mean we can’t support the Irish sartorially.

Here’s a lucky little selection of green kicks on sale that’ll cover pretty much any activity you have planned.

Order them today, get them tomorrow and wear them on Wednesday for St. Patrick’s Day.

Have a great weekend y’all!

Happy New Year! You were out all night last night partying with Disreputable Men and now as the dawn rises on the hangover of the decade, you look hatefully at those wicked, wicked heels you wore until the wee small hours and you are determined Never To Wear Heels Again This Time I Mean It.

Well, far be it from me to argue (although we all know you’ll be back) so just for today, why not slip on these little Onitsuka Tigers –the skimmer version of the ASICS classics– as you run to the store for the miracle hangover cure?

If you want the hangover cure, check back next hour, and happy New Year from all of us to all of you!

Now

Today is Brother Plumcake’s birthday.

Brother Plumcake is my favorite living person, despite his stupid goatee, but we do not share a common sartorial view. For example, at the anniversary gala of our beloved grandparents –where I wore a custom designed dress and Michael Kors heels made out of unglazed python with gold leaf on the soles– my brother wore what could only be described as a gangster pinstriped suit complete with VINYL FAUX-SPATS and a bifurcated goatee.  In the parlance of my people “I liketa died”.

Today’s GSU50 is an homage to my brother, who would probably wear these.

Graffiti-print hi-tops from Cheap Monday on sale for $29. Heck, I’d probably wear them too. In fact, I’m going to order a pair right now. Wear these with jeans and a chunky cashmere pullover and you’ve got a whole Jules et Jim 2.0 thing going on.

Love.

Pink loafers, Paul Smith-style.

What I love about interesting loafers is they so often come as a surprise in an otherwise casual outfit. It’s the difference between being thoughtless and being effortless.

Casual elasticated flats from Homer.

Green flats from Coccinelle.

Step out in style!

Suspira flats by Juan Antonio Lopez .

Fun little peep toe flat with kicky suede flower from Betsey Johnson.  They’ve also got a hot pink sole, as so many of us do. And before you pain-in-the-ass pedants get all up in my grill, yes I know the Mucha flowers are probably poppies, not roses. WHATEVER.

School bus yellow flats by Marc Jacobs. I’m not usually a fan of his shoes, and I’m certainly not a fan of visible labels, but the clever “workwear” stamp on the toe detail is just gritty enough to charm me.

Animal-friendly butter yellow flats
