CURIOUSER NEW YORK

The summer is here, have you upgraded your summer shoe closet? I'm very pleasantly - [and very overwhelmed at the same time] - with the growth of the fabulous shoe brands all across. Every year we're getting more and more choices to choose from, both - from the high fashion designers like Stella McCartney, Donna Karan, Alexander Wang and L.A.M.B., but also from the lower-priced shoe brand chains like Banana Republic, J. Crew , Zara and Nine West.  Despite the abundance of the choices, there are just a few of the brands that we really, really love...

Love it!

Not yet, not yet - the Spring is only about to come and it's not like spring, summer and fall are rain-free seasons. So, while you are updating your wardrobe for the next seasons to come, don't give up on a thought of having that one perfect parka that can serve you during the multiple seasons. Here's how New Yorkers wearing it:

She seems to know not only what a woman wants - globally! - but she's actually one of the rare designers, who makes the clothes to fit any woman - any size, any age, any profession - she just seems to know the woman's body very, very well.
