Meet Manolo

Morning meetings mess me up.  It's usually the time I return emails and work on blog posts which is why I don't schedule them.  Since I'm behind on everything from one earlier today, I am posting a repeat post but it's from October 2010 and relevant for what's going on in New York this week. Not only can you see shoe designer Manolo Blahnik at his beautiful Georgian house in Bath, England by Ivan Terestchecnko here but you can meet him in person tomorrow at Bergdorf Goodman.  (For those of you who receive the email subscription, that means today.)  I've been looking for a pair of pointy toe pumps which are all the rage so I think I might have to stop by too.  See you there!

The Charming Mr. Blahnik

I love when I'm looking for one thing and I find something even better in the process. In this case, it was photographs of Manolo Blahnik at his beautiful Georgian house in Bath, England by Ivan Terestchecnko.   He shares this house with his collection of books and about 10,000 pairs of shoes that bear his name.  He most enjoys spending time in his garden and one has to wonder if that is what inspires his more fanciful designs.  I especially love the classic English colors of the rooms and the slightly cluttered look that is quintessentially English.  Most of the woman who buy his shoes tell him that they make them happy but I have a feeling that Mr. Blahnik would say that his home is what makes him happy.
