Why hello, March. You’re quite chilly and grouchy this fine NYC morning, but underneath it all, I know your style. You’re a softie.
Give or take a couple of weeks and you’ll warm up to us… You’ll grace us with some sun, reintroduce us to cute flirty dresses and soft ethereal layers, and before long, you will hardly be able contain yourself. And then you, dear March, will gift us with the creme de la creme of season-changing fabulosity- the open toe shoe. And yes, I’ve been waiting – and for good reason.
Several months ago, the sadists who control Paris Fashion Week really pulled a number on me. There I was, layering up and awaiting winter paleness, while Valentino’s models sashayed down the runway flaunting their featherweight frocks. My eyes trickled down to the models’ feet, only to be hit by the grande pièce de résistance- elegantly embroidered tulle and lace sculptures by way of famed milliner Philip Treacy .
And yes, dear friends and brides, these confections of pure fashion have finally arrived in boutiques.
Philip Treacy for Valentino – spring’s pièce de résistance To call these “shoes” would be a sin. I cannot begin to imagine how gorgeous a bride would look with these layers of luscious lace wrapping up around her ankles and peeking out from beneath her gown. They’re divine – and with many brides splurging once again on luxurious designer gowns, I cannot think of a better piece to not only compliment, but complete the look.

Then again, those looking for a true investment- and by that I mean ogle, caress and do not wear investment- can own Treacy’s grande dame, the elegant court shoe immediately above, for a staggering $6,250. {Sorry to tease ladies, but I just had to throw it in}.
Philip Treacy for Valentino – spring’s pièce de résistance All in, Philip Treacy’s sculptural tulle shoes have incited my Spring Fever… They create a perfect cocktail of sophisticated glamour and edginess, while sparking chic, of-the-moment style for any city bride. Which are your favorites?
