Spring Fluevogs Are Here!

Easter is more than chocolate eggs and bunnies...

Ida Clark: In 1882 Ida Clark, then 30 years old and single, decided it was time to leave Deadwood South Dakota. After many years in the business, "golden haired and ravishing" Ida caught the morning train and disappeared forever, leaving behind a legend of firehouse balls, suspicious murders, and a missing trunk full of money and stolen jewelry. Using soft dusty pastel leathers on a 3" Fellowship-hi heel and tunite
Bellevue sole, this ankle bootie is already legendary. $269

Sally Skull: Known throughout the Wild West as a sharp shootin', horse stealin', muleskinnin' cusser, there has hardly been a woman in Texan history so foul-mouthed, so feared, so insiduous as Sally Skull. When she encountered an outlaw who was talking behind her back, Sally muttered the now infamous jib "So you been talkin' about me? Well, dance, you son of a bitch!" and began blasting away at his boots with her six-shooters. Perhaps she was most feared by her four husbands, all of whom met with a tragic fate by Sally's quick trigger. Sally Skull was finally done in by husband number five, 22 years her younger, who buried Sally in a shallow grave after inheriting her estate. Using soft dusty pastel leathers with diamond and teardrop cut-out detailing, on a 3" Fellowship-hi heel and tunite Bellevue sole, this lace-up slingback is sure to give
you what's coming to you. $255

Eureka: Eureka, the Gold Rush city on the Northern Californian coast, was given its name after a Greek word meaning "I have found it!" Leftovers of its boom can be seen in its Redwood Victorian architecture, or from the smell of Gold in the air. Combining style and comfort, this Mary Jane features patterned stitching, and leather wrapped 2.5" wedge heels in a finish reminiscent of sun bleached grass. Perfect for any treasured outfit, the Eureka brings Californian Gold right to your feet. $245

CBC Radios: True to his Canadian roots, John broadcasts the first style in the updated Radio family. Featuring a teal/royal blue splash of color on the heel, an upturned toe, a wider footbed, and a tunite heel & sole, the CBC is the new feelgood hit of the summer.
Tune in, Turn on, and Vog out! $179

Pretty Darn Cute.

I cleaned out my sock drawer recently, and was surprised to discover how many of my old favorites have gotten a little too much love. Mostly in the big toe area. Too bad I can't even sew a button! A little research proves that darning your own socks isn't quite as difficult as I thought, and once you know how, your reinforced favorite argyles are back in rotation!

The other night, while crafting away with VS employee Kerry Alonzo, we got to talking about knitting or crocheting one's own stocking. Turns out there are about a million ways to go about it, from simple stitches to complex knits. Instructions to various stockings can easily be found on the Internet. Shown above are socks of different sizes made by Miss Alonzo, who also made the felted bag seen in the background. Although Kerry makes it look easy, knitting while watching Julia Child hack up about a hundred different sea creatures for Bouillabaisse, I think I'll stick with simple mending...

The Best Way to Spend that Holiday Bonus...

The babysitter arrived late, the baby was screaming, and the three day old leftovers you wolfed down standing over the kitchen sink tasted a little funky... Wearing your favorite black sweater dress and your brand new 'guilty-purchase' ruffled satin platform heels, you madly chip away at the ice on your windshield before surging across town to arrive at your boss' holiday party just as she's completing a warbly rendition of Shania Twain's "Honey I'm Home."

You flash a winning smile as all heads turn upon your grand entrance. Your co-worker mimes at her hair and you mouth "thanks" at her, before realizing that she was trying to covertly point out the spit up in your limp curls. Glancing around, you cant help but notice almost everyone else at the party is wearing a hideous sweater and last season's Ugly boots. You make a beeline for the kitchen and help yourself to a streaming cup of mulled wine.

Unexpectedly you feel someone's eyes on you. You turn and feel your face flush as your work crush, Federico, enters the room and stops short when he sees you. With pleasure, you notice that his black satin shirt matches your new shoes perfectly. Briefly, you allow yourself to drift into a daydream about what his shirt would look like rumpled on your bedroom floor...

Suddenly you realize that he is actually standing quite close and is looking at you quizzically. Had he said something? "What?" You feign deafness as, in the background, the manager's tone-deaf husband drones along with Nirvana. Federico leans into you and you inhale the spice of his aftershave. His eyes slowly move down your body, taking you in. He clears his throat a little.
"Nice shoes."
