What's New? (as of June 2, 2010...Part 1)

What's new? A lot, actually! So I'm going to dispense with the usual opening lamentations about how there are so many wonderful shoes out there and no chance of purchasing and owning them all and go straight into my accustomed catatonic withdrawal. This post is only half of the goodies I've run across to share with you. I'll have part two to upload tomorrow. Feast your eyes. If you dare.

1.  Leather studded clog from Gerard Darel

Just your basic high heeled clog. But every wardrobe needs its basics. And this one comes in two universally useful colors. Available in England through the Gerard Darel website labeled Ma Boutique.

2.  Justice lace up clog from Topshop

Also from the U. K., this lace up clog. From Topshop. But you know that already from the title. So I'll add that it comes in Chocolate and Tan. But that's probably obvious from the pictures. Well, how about I also include this info direct from the Topshop web site:  "Height approx 3". 100% leather. Should not be washed."

There. Now I feel as though I've told you something you didn't know already.

3.  Ginerva clog bootie from Tory Burch

And even though it's June and summer is kicking into full swing, clog boots are still are turning up everywhere. There's quite a bit to love about this suede pair (in the color Coconut) from Tory Burch. It's got a spunky silhouette with a sweet little heel. And don't fret if you don't see a zipper closure. There's a elastic gore on one side that allows you to simply pull the shoe on your foot using those handy straps on either side. Yum! Look for this style at Bloomingdale's.

4.  Alexander slingback clog from Tory Burch

On the other hand, Ms. Burch and company are aware that we clog lovers may prefer something light and fun to go with a summer weight outfit. Hence this truly unique low-heeled clog pump. The shoe features a deep scoop towards the toes to expose more of the instep, but the buckling strap assures you won't be walking out of them with every step. Available in Almond from Neiman-Marcus.

5.  Swiss clog from Daniblack

And while we're talking clogs with straps, let's take a look at this unique design I found on the Jildor web site. They point out wisely that this is one shoe that will transition from summer to fall, and I have to agree. I'm loving the unadorned smoothness of  the leather upper and the bold silver nail heads that are spaced closer than usual...which allows the maker to squeeze more of them in. Sweet!

6.  Christies clog from Vince Camuto

And to wrap up this half of this week's What's New?, a gorgeous pair of distressed leather shoes from the footwear designer who made his name launching the Nine West line nearly 30 years ago. He also went on to help both Tory Burch and Jessica Simpson get their own lines on the market. In 2005, Camuto started creating shoes branded with his own name. According to The Camuto Vision, a PR video on his label's web site, Vince Camuto shoes are for women with "taste, intelligence, and fashion flair." He goes on to define his footwear as "wearable shoes with great style." All I know is I'd love to add this pair from Nordstrom to my wardrobe.
