Call it Springs Opens in NYC

A few days ago I went to an event hosted by Shine Media PR to celebrate the opening of the Call it Spring store in NYC. The chain, which belongs to Aldo, sells inexpensive shoes, accessories, and handbags (we’re talking cheaper than H&M). I was not familiar with the chain, but from what I can … Continue reading “Call it Springs Opens in NYC”

Oscar de la Renta Elaphe Snakeskin Pumps

Lucila Iotti Shoes

I’m obsessed with Lucila Iotti shoes! The super sexy shoes are designed by Iotti in her hometown of Buenos Aires where her father, Jorge Iotti, began his tailoring shop in 1920 (the designer has a boutique there as well…can’t wait till March when I’m in Argentina to check it out!). Iotti uses a variety of … Continue reading “Lucila Iotti Shoes”
