Preppy, shiny, stylish – all proper adjectives used to describe Marni‘s glossy patent leather Mary Jane Shoe. Pierced patent calfskin leather is mounted on a wooden platform and adorned with a handsome metal buckle. Be a vision in primary colors or cool hues.

Nothing says the holidays like candy apple red Italian patent leather in the form of a handsomely masculine evening bag. Paul Smith throws in a chain strap and lock opening for good measure and extra badass-ness. Whoever Julianne is, we want to be her.

After opening an email from SoleStruck last night containing this vibrant shoe from All Caps, I screamed and giggled with excitement as every young lady should when laying eyes upon them for the first time. The Azalea is special, its patent leather upper available in fuchsia, yellow, green and orange to accommodate even the pickiest of feet. Don’t walk down to Electric Avenue, walk in it.

Striking. Loud. Insane. These three adjectives are a few of many to use when describing the Margot Wedge Sandal from Opening Ceremony. When orange, leopard and patent leather come together in the same description for footwear, my toes get a hard-on. The silk shoelaces don’t hurt either.

The Kentucky Derby is tomorrow, meaning extravagant hats, mint juleps and drunk gambling are on the horizon. There are few things that could ruin such a glorious day in our beautiful American South, and some celebrities came really close to doing so. In this edition of Red Carpet Report Card, we will look at the best and worst dressed of the 2010 Kentucky Derby. Hopefully everyone can learn a little something about how to look like a lady for the big event tomorrow.

There’s something magical about that initial cool day off fall when it’s time to wear a new sweater. Whether the first day of school or bundling up on a sunny Saturday for the outdoor flee market, the excitement of taking a new fall outfit on its maiden voyage still puts butterflies in my stomach. Sonia Rykiel understands, and the vision for her Fall 2011 collection shown during Paris Fashion Week came through in Fair Isle knits, colorful plaids and bright, luscious furs. Sweater dresses were modernized with sheer sleeves, and fitted cigarette pants had panels of plaid fabric down the sides. Evening wear was offbeat yet chic – dresses of all lengths included metallic stripes, and deep cutouts in the front and sides required one of the fabulously electric fox stoles for warmth. Polar opposite footwear spiced-up action below the ankles, including creepers and pointy toe patent leather pumps. Though eccentric in color and composition, I would be delighted to wear pieces from this collection on my first fall adventure.
