Velvet Angels is a new line of footwear created by former head designer of L.A.M.B., Joe Ponce. The shoes have only been on the shelves for three months and already celebrities are all over the brand.

Most of the shoes are pretty mediocre but the Peepshow ankle boot above is sexy and definitely worth coveting!

They are available at high-end boutiques like Tani in New York and Diavolina in Los Angeles.

Who doesn’t love a sale!! I know I do! And now that the weather is finally getting hot in NY you can add some “new” footwear to your summer wardrobe at a discount! Marmalade Vintage is offering 20% off all summer shoes thru this Sunday June 22nd. Go get ‘em grrrrrl!

Last week we told you that Proenza Schouler had announced that they would be releasing a footwear line.  We just got a sneak peak of one of the styles and I have to say that I think it represents the designers well and is true to their aesthetic.  I love the traingular heel and the contrast in materials and colors.  The shoe is very unique - definitely a statement piece - the kind of shoe you build outfits around.  The duo has also designed other styles including ballet slippers, loafers, lace-up sandals and heels and will be available in the upcoming resort season.  The shoes will range in price from $300 to $3,000 with an average cost of $685.   When asked the next logical question about when a bag range is coming out, Lazaro Hernandez stated:  “It’s because we didn’t have anything to say yet. The entire market is so dense with bags and everything else, that until we found something original and specific to say, we didn’t want to say anything. We don’t do anything unless we have something to say.”  All I know is that I can’t wait to see what they have to “say.”

Proenza Schouler is launching a footwear line to coordinate with its apparel collections. The young men behind the label have been fashion superstars since their debut collection and I’m really looking forward to see what they come up with for our feet. They are releasing select style for resort and a full line for Spring 2009. I hope this means we can expect to see the boys expanding into other product categories like handbags and beauty. Only time will tell . . .

I would have a new pair of stilettos for every night out, from feather drenched or patent leather Louboutin’s to camouflage or zebra print Manolo Blahnik’s. These are the kind of shoes you build outfits around.

Oh, and bags! I never have enough, no matter how many I gather I always find more that I need. Each bag holds it’s own special place in my heart. My favorite styles are usually day totes and clutches - the ones pictured below would be an awesome edition to my ensemble any day of the week.

The GLS site has a new on-line boutique stocked with all the vintage shoe goodness you want and need!! Really, if you can’t make it to their store in NYC, this is the next best thing!!!! Check out some of The Goods! available for sale here. And peep some of my fav’s after the jump! (more…)

Oh, the Stiletto. How I love you! These sexy-lady-shoes got their name from the Italian word for “dagger” and if you’ve ever been stepped on by one, you know why. The stiletto made its debut on the Christian Dior runway in 1955, designed by none other than shoe genius Roger Vivier. Marilyn Monroe and other Hollywood starletts helped make the stiletto infamous. Whenever I have to get dressed up, my motto is “the higher the better.” I love wearing stilettos, they make me feel like a woman and they do wonders for sex appeal. That’s why it makes me very, very sad when I see girls wearing stilettos who maybe should be sticking to kitten heels. Ladies, if you’re going to wear them, wear them well, don’t let the shoes wear you.

Keep Company was started in 2005 by Margot Jacobs and Una Kim. The idea had been in the works for years, but finally came together through a solid combination of timing, opportunity, savings, and auspicious astrological forecasts.

Keep Company is based in Los Angeles, California. Margot and Una were crew in New York first, before Margot split to go to Italy and then Sweden. Una lived large in Brooklyn until she left for Northern California in 2003 before finally settling in sunny Los Angeles. Now the ladies have reunited to bring Keep into the world. Keep is a shoe company, a clothing company, an amalgam of interests, a way of being, a force, a language, a family and many other things.

You know we got more on Una and her mold-breaking company, after the jump!
