Ms. Elphick is the “new kid on the block” and definitely one to watch.

She launched her eponymous label in 2014.

Ease of shoe transition from summer to fall/winter wear

focuses on the perfect pair (or pairs) of boots.

Whatever the footwear objective:

cozy comfort, utilitarian ready, sassy stepping, modern edge;

…

Whatever the fashion / style objective:

classic cut, distinctive lace-ups, bad-to-the-bone biker

saddle-up cowboy, riding to-the-hounds, ready for combat;

…

Whatever the height profile:

ankle, mid-calf, to knee, over knee, thigh-high –

there’s a boot pairing to satisfy any en vogue-set  footwear requirement.

Out, out damn pain ! : the comfort of flat shoe-wear

08 Tuesday Oct 2013

Posted by meappropriatestyle in accessories, for all seasons, shoes... glorious shoes, style...bottom up / style... top down

ankle boots, brogues, flats, Little Women, Louise May Alcott, over-the-knee length boots, pointed toe flats, shoes, trainers

From head to toe

and body bits  in-between,

women have suffered for the love of fashion.

…

From factual hospital records

to fictional works of literature,

episodes of  ‘following-fashion-induced’ pain

have been well recorded.

…

Consider this passage from the novel Little Women:

“Meg’s high-heeled slippers were tight and hurt her,

though she would not own it,

and Jo’s nineteen hairpins all seemed stuck straight into her head

which was not exactly comfortable,

but dear me, 

let us be elegant or die.”

 Little Women , (chapter 3)

by Louise May Alcott,  written 1868-9

…

The body parts most sorely abused are

our long suffering feet.

So brutal their daily punishment, that at times

neither gentle foot massage nor warm foot bath

can sufficiently ease the pain.

…

Yet, fashion can be forgiving and has heeded the plea.

Strike the refrain – “Oh my aching feet!”

from your frequented list of complaints.

Well,  at least for this fashion season –

Flats  are  where  is  at!
