Elizabeth and James Beaded Peep-Toe Slingbacks For the Monday Written on February 8, 2010, by Manolo the Shoeblogger.

Manolo says, it is Monday and you are back at your desk suffering from your traditional post Super Duper Bowl hangover. However, this hangover is not because you drank too much beer, for indeed you did not.

Rather, you are suffering because you ate too much of your neighbor’s infamous “Super Bowl Sunday Nachos”, the dish which involves five pounds of corn chips, two pounds of shredded pork carnitas, the jumbo can of sliced jalapeños, and the entire block of Velveeta “Cheese”, melted and jumbled together with assorted ornamental and condimental foodstuffs which are best forgotten.

Of the course, the whole time you were shoveling these into your mouth, during the first and second quarters of the game, you knew you should have stopped at none, but you couldn’t because they were delicious in that greasy, tasty way that the most horrible foods usually are.

And now, today, you are paying the price.

But, no worries, for you have resolved to go to the gym straight after work, where you will jog on the treadmill for five minutes before hitting the sauna for the good, long steambath.

Look! Striking Elizabeth and James Beaded Peep-Toe Slingbacks.

Perhaps not the cure for your tummy, but certainly the salve for your shoe-loving soul.

Manolo’s Monday Miscellany Written on February 8, 2010, by Manolo the Shoeblogger.

Manolo says, here are the few links which may amuse (or horrify)…

Stupid rain.

‘Absolutely! I’m not going to lie. But no pain, no gain, as they say. I don’t mind. I will suffer.

Want to be a total Hasbeen this summer? Written on February 8, 2010, by AbiSilvester.

We've been promised exciting new things from Swedish Hasbeens ever since SJP stepped out in a pair on the set of the new Sex and the City movie. But we certainly couldn't have imagine anything quite as colourful, fun and girly as what they've actually produced! Finally, it seems the holy grail of comfort and style has been found.

Mary Jane Monday: French Connection ‘June’ Written on February 8, 2010, by AbiSilvester.

This unusual style from French Connection is a rare example of a shoe with a 'spiked' heel I actually rather like. The overall balance of the style works well, and the extra straps would presumably provide decent purchase for wrenching your foot out when it's trapped in a pavement crack or gutter.

Ebay Watch: Jimmy Choo for Hunter wellies Written on February 8, 2010, by AbiSilvester.

Much of the US is experiencing the same 'Day After Tomorrow' style weather events we've been battling with for weeks back in Blighty, and Rachel Bilson is leading the way in Weather Warning Chic. Striding out in her croc-effect, Jimmy Choo wellington boots, she certainly knows how to dress for a deluge.

Vintage Valentine’s fair at Laura J Written on February 8, 2010, by AbiSilvester.

Want to combine shoe-shopping with getting glammed up in time for your romantic Valentine's night out? Our friends at Laura J boutique in Islington can help, as they're hosting a bit of a party on Saturday 13th, with the store set out as a fabulous retro village fete.

YOOX Valentine’s Day Shoes Written on February 7, 2010, by galligator.

I know, I know. Most of the men-folk who would actually benefit from a not-so-subtle guide to Valentine’s Day gifts for their shoe-loving sweeties are likely preoccupied by today’s big game. And yes, I know many women will be watching, too (the Superbowl, for those truly unaware few out there today).

But, I am making the effort nonetheless. Call it a public service. If the half-time ads are particularly unimpressive, at least you’ll have today’s online shoe-break covered. And, if you can get your sweetie to take a peek and perhaps start thinking shoes rather than roses and chocolate, I call that situation a shoe-diva win.

Luckily, the staff over at YOOX have gone out of their way to find every red, pink, purple, or heart-themed shoe currently offered at the site.

The majority of these, whether the subtle, heart-shaped peep-toe, or the not-so-subtle heart appliques, come to us from the creative mind of Marc Jacobs. However, please notice that both Gucci & Prada have at least one entry into this whole ‘Heart and Sole’ fantasy.

Is a statement shoe announcing “Happy Valentine’s Day” to the world with every flashy step the shoe for you?
