Usually, I’d run away screaming from anything sporting a tie-dye pattern on it. But these Messeca Tie-Dye Coraline Platform Wedge happen to hit the sweet spot. They’re working the tie-dye hippie thing, sure, but in a decidedly high fashion way. The sleek wedge heel offsets any crunchy, hacky sack vibe, and the bright, cheery color makes these shoes the perfect statement piece for spring. I’m into them, just don’t expect to see me dancing around in any patchwork bellbottoms anytime soon. [$189, Urban Outfitters]

The other day I was walking by my fave neighborhood boutique, the inimitable Raised by Wolves (soon, soon, they will have an online store, my darlings) and I spotted these fantastic 80%20 Seanne shoe in Kiwi. Being that I’m not yet over wedge shoes, I had to try them immediately, but unfortch, they didn’t have a pair in my size. So, c’est la vie, I’ve taken to checking them out online. Lo! It seems the Seanne comes not just in Kiwi but also in “Herringbone” and something called “Fawn.” I can’t decide what color I want now. The Kiwi is great, but it’s, you know, white-ish. And I ruin anything light-colored. The Fawn seems kind of diarrhea-colored, but practical. And the herringbone appears closest to black, and has an almost tribal feel to them. Which do you like best?

Okay, I have had it with you, Jeffrey Campbell. Some of your shoes are great, but holy hell dude, most of your shoes are straight out of my disco tranny nightmares (yes, I have disco tranny nightmares). What are you thinking, with the platform, and the pleather, and the fringe and just so muuuuuuuuuch? Also, do you hate ladies, because it seems like you might be trying to kill us all with the completely untenable platforms and ankle-busting heels. It’s just craze. Unadulterated craze. And though many of your shoes may be appropriate footwear for say, introductory classes at clown college, or a night in an ecstasy-fueled rave cave, we cannot really abide by the Jeffrey Campbell-ization of America. Moderation people, moderation.

An Open Letter To Wedge Heels

Dear Wedge Heels,

My whole life, I’ve wanted to be three things: “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” a writer, and the kind of person who wears high heels everyday. I’ve failed mightily on the first count, done pretty well on the second, and the third, well, that’s a bit more complicated… Keep reading »
