My friend Manolo the Shoeblogger has, of course, some advice for a woman in need of shoes today:
Dear Manolo,I’m a small town girl with big time dreams, who has just been given the job of a lifetime. The next eight weeks will be super demanding and I’ll be in the limelight a lot . . . . What would you recommend to make me seem a little more sophisticated and polished?

Manolo says, congratulations on your recent success, clearly you are the woman to be reckoned with!
It is always the same with the small town girls who make it big; on the one of the hands, you wish to give yourself the making over so as to seem more fashionable, while on the other of the hands you do not want to lose that refreshing American naturalness which others recognize as the heart of your charm . . . .
Naturally, the Manolo suggests starting with the shoes. You must shed those pedestrian, low quality shoes and move up market with something truly super fantastic. Look, here is the Karolina in black patent from Kate Spade, both super fantastic and all American!
Truly super fantastic!
