Shop the Couture

The seriously downsized haute couture presentations took place in Paris last week, and though the mood was somewhat somber due to the precarious financial situation at Christian Lacroix, designers still managed to put on the glamour.

Shoe Shopping: LaDuca Trunk Show

Last week, I received an email from Cincy Chic about a trunk show at Cincy Designer Shoes in Hyde Park. Naturally, my raging shoe obsession compelled me to make my way over there to check things out. The trunk show was for LaDuca, a line of shoes created by Phil LaDuca, who has designed shoes for everyone from Penelope Cruz to Uma Thurman.
