General Warning: May be hazardous to your wallet.
The smoking slipper, originally designed for the Victorian gentleman's smoking room, made its contemporary debut on the D&G Men's Fall 2009 runway, see below.

This year, however, the women's markets are showing them at all pricepoints, from Louboutin's Rollerball to Steve Madden's Madee.
Lauded as a Must Buy by Footwear News, the Smoking Slipper is definitely THE next major shoe trend.

The French have done it again!

4.5.11

I absoultely love the effortlessly chic label Comptoir des Cotonniers. Although the brand has been around since 1995 I only recently discovered it while walking through Soho. the clothes and philosphphy remind of one of my other favorite brands, Theory, combining modernity with timeless chic with a flair for fashion trends. it is only fitting that the location of the store is two doors down from Theory on Spring street. Take a look below at some of the options from Theory Spring 2011 collection. I am obsessed with the blue jacket which comes in a variety of colors and at an affordable price of $270!
