Metallic Manolos

June 7, 2005 by Designer Ella

In a previously unheard of event, my firewall attacked my computer and rendered browsing the web and most other Internet uses completely dead. After nearly 2 days, I fixed it, myself. Yes, I am a multi-talented woman.

Since I’ve had my lovely Internet back, I’ve been getting situated - okay, trying to find the perfect shoes, okay, shush - and I nearly forgot that it is Tuesday, and time for Manolo.

Really, I need great summer heels, and I’m running so behind, I mean this should have been in the bag (then on my feet and not exchanged) two months ago! I’ve been on a mad hunt, and now I’m running out of pairs to try, and have to broaden my style preferences.

One can’t go wrong with the style of Manolos, though, and the first thing I came upon when finding Blahniks for you, tonight, fit the bronze-metallics-thing I’ve been feeling lately. They aren’t, though, the trendy current style; these are classic, and they’ll last. Take these basic strappy sandals in bronze metallic, perfect for summer, no matter what the year.

These shoes just amaze me like no others. Tiger print, subtle striping, bold metallic feel without actual metallic colors, decorative tongue, there is infinite subtlety and numerous displays of intricate design mastery. Even the heel and footbed are decked out in fabulous design. I just wish I could get closer and yet closer, but I know these are shoes I would be afraid to touch. They are the ultimate in footwear as works of
art.

And, finally:
