Lynne Kiesling Alex Tabarrok and Zappos FTW!!!!! Check out this ridiculously fun real-time map of Zappos shoe sales. I am sure that this has some massively important implications for social networking, fashion trends, and so on, but it’s also just.darn.cool.
Lynne Kiesling Through my various wanderings in the past week I have come across two fun little shopping-oriented sites that I like: Little Splurge, which highlights little (and no-so-little) finds for fashion, home, travel, work, etc; and Paperclippy, focusing on office-friendly fashion finds. These two cute sites are great examples of Internet filtering; there’s so …
Lynne Kiesling Thanks to the Manolo for the link to the Shoe Sense, “a feminist shoe blog for the stylish yet sensible woman.” In one post she asks is 45 pairs of shoes too many?. With sport-specific shoes, snow boots, etc., I estimate that I have about 55 pair of footwear, which I do not …

I like living vicariously through her reports on Paris Fashion Week this week. And I really, really like the Coco Chanel quote that one of her friends …
Lynne Kiesling I follow in the footsteps of the super-fantastic Manolo and Ann Althouse to agree that it’s incredibly refreshing to see authoritative women like Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice dressing in a fashionable, complex, not-safe-and-blend-into-the-background manner. And as a fellow knee-high boot afficionado (and athlete), I sense a kindred spirit there … I think …
Lynne Kiesling I don’t have time today for pithy, substantive analysis. Furthermore, the weather here is gloomy and making my senses dull. So instead I turn to the Manolo: The Pucci, they are the shoes of relentless cheerfulness. Makes me wish I had a pair of these for slogging through the puddles: Many thanks to …
Lynne Kiesling OK, so I’m a week behind the ChicagoBoyz, but hey! I’m the one with the bona fide shoe fetish! Manolo’s Shoe Blog is a great find, and find it I did via a Technorati cosmos crawl to see what new folks out there were linking to Knowledge Problem. This is hilarious. And if …
