Day 157 - Dog day afternoon

Seriously divine Lanvin espadrilles in pinky beige leather with grosgrain ties, pictured with BK at his studio in Chicago, looking rather like a demon dog.  BK is shortly to be bathed in Aesop's new 'Animal', an aromatic wash for the four-legged, while Kittie is again wearing the refreshing Osmanthe Yunnan by Hermes.

Day 151 - Eager beaver

Kittie in the Jimmy Choo equivalent of the all-time classic Manolo Blahnik Carolyne, a light caramel pointy-toed kitten-heeled slingback, pictured at the Vancouver Club with the club's signature wildlife emblem.   A major point of difference is the Jimmys have adjustable buckles, the Carolynes don't.  Worn with a spritz or two of Hermes' Osmanthe Yunnan.

Day 48 - Return of the King


I've missed you, Mr Blahnik. But here you are at last, with your inimitable style and characteristic flared heels (thank you, thank you, you are an engineering genius), making an appointment on Spring Street (The European, again). The picture is of a lovely pair of modified Carolyne slingbacks - a Blahnik staple - this time perforated in an interesting design and in beige. Total heaven. Worn with a sumptuous 90s fragrance from the house of Hermes, 24 Faubourg.
