Splash-Worthy Looks for Your Feet

I’ve often heard the saying “April showers bring May flowers”.  But, I say April showers bring soggy socks and cold wet feet…unless you happen to be equipped with a great pair of rain boots.  With April right around the corner I’d like to find the perfect ones to invest in.

The search has been narrowed to a few pairs that I think would be great additions to my wardrobe.  Hunter’s Wellington rain boot is a classic which everyone seems to have.  Last Spring they teamed up with Jimmy Choo and created a rain boot that maintained the standard Hunter look while adding a croc embossed texture to the boot and the Choo name to the label. These boots come in multiple colors from standard black to fire engine red as well as short and tall heights.  At $425 these boots are at the pricier end of the rain boot category but worth it because they’re classic enough to last for years to come.

Alexander McQueen Skull Print Canvas Shopper

All this talk of the CFDA Awards got me thinking of our dear Alexander McQueen and his immense influence. Do you remember his signature skull print scarf? The design was hailed for the mixture of dark subject matter vs. light chiffon texture. McQueen would later incorporate the design in his apparel, accessories, footwear and skull clutches.

The Alexander McQueen Skull Print Canvas Shopper is one of his last creations that is very similar to the famed scarf. You can now buy it through Bergdorf Goodman for $650.

Jason Wu for Bergdorf Goodman

WWD is reporting that Jason Wu has teamed up with Bergdorf Goodman to launch a limited edition capsule collection. The pieces range from "chiffon day pieces" to more "structured sheaths" that are inspired by 'classic American style'. The color palette will center on  lemon yellow, red and navy and prices range anywhere between $1,150 to $2,990. The collection will only be available at Bergdorf Goodman stores & website starting May 14th.

Alice In Wonderland Holiday Windows

Bergdorf Goodman is stepping up their holiday windows with a beautiful Alice in Wonderland display. 

If you haven't checked it out yet- Alexander McQueen's clothes take center stage. 

David Hoey Curates Bergdorf's Holiday Windows

David Hoey and his team at Bergdorf Goodman are serving up an array of visual treats for their winter window displays. The theme this time is "Curiouser and Curiouser," with displays inspired by the works of Lewis Carroll. What most people don't realize is that the project takes upwards of a year to conceive and execute, and the windows themselves take six months to produce.

"The fashion that eventually goes into the window is not decided upon when we land on a theme," explained Hoey. "First, we choose an idea and stick with it. The further along in the year we get, we start looking at the runway shows and hope we can find things to fit our theme. Miraculously, we always luck out!" McQueen, will go in the card game room, featured alongside kings and jokers.

"The wooden staircase room" resembles a jigsaw puzzle pieced together with delicate staircases from a bevy of dollhouses, which took a year and a half to collect, scouring all corners of the world from tiny antique stores to eBay. 

If you'd like to venture into the other side of the looking glass, The Bergdorf windows will be on display  starting today- Friday, November 20th until January 6th.
