Going Fast on 34th Street

When you buy the Empire State Building shoes at Geox you get this carrying case:


Whenever I see cases like this I'm reminded of the rumored Secret Service guy who carries the President's briefcase with the nuclear arsenal control button. Not quite as important a cargo as the controls to world domination, these shoes are well-coveted and going fast. There are just a few sizes left in all colors (black, the purple, and the leopard).

Also going fast are items on sale at Swarovski on 34th Street. So fast that the store wanted me to be sure to tell you that pictured items may no longer be available:














30% - 50% off, so if you've got your eyes on duckies or parrots visit soon.

Back on 34th Street: The Empire State Shoe

Remember these?

Spotted at the Geox fall preview at the 34th Street store.

They sold out the moment they hit the Geox stores. Since they were snatched up like breathable hotcakes, Geox is reissuing about 500 pairs to be sold in the 34th Street and Madison Avenue stores. And it gets better: to date there's a waiting list of about 80 buyers. So, if you can't live without them, be sure to call and get your name on the list. Or keep a sharp eye on the store near the end of June, the expected delivery date. They're still $230, and they're still available in three colors.

Updated to add: I was told that this shoe was so highly coveted that buyers snapped up pairs not even in their size. Ebay'd? Or sitting on a shelf at home?

I like them a lot more in person than in photographs. I'm pretty sure Craig's mouth dropped open in horror when I said that. I'm now obsessed and need them for Mother's Day brunch.
Tomorrow I'll post a look at Geox's fall shoes. Here's a teaser: total boot success.

Only on 34th Street: The Empire State Building Shoe

Care to take your Empire State Buildings out for a little walk?



Thanks to Geox, the Empire State Building is now memorialized in heels. And not just any heels, but 5-inch heels available in silver or gold with rhinestones that represent the windows of the building! That's just too adorable. And because they are Geox, they feature the brand's patented breathable sole technology. I'm requesting a pair for a trial run; I'll keep you updated. These are limited-edition shoes ($230) available only at the 34th Street store. Aptly so, as the store sits right down the street from the building itself.

So what do you think, which ones do you like? I'm partial to the purple and blue sequins as they remind me of the different colored lighting schemes the building features at night. But the black is very New York. I think these shoes really need to be seen in person. They debut on 34th Street this weekend, so go try them on and take the Empire State Building for a little spin.
