Ode to the Pilgrims

With Thanksgiving almost upon us, I thought I would give thanks for that which the Pilgrims brought us. A feast shared with the American Indians? No. An indelible fashion statement that they brought to the new world. To the shoe world. Behold the legacy of the Pilgrims lives on...



Roger Vivier flats with buckle detail (a favorite of Jessica Alba's and available in a zillion fab colors.)


Christian Lacroix peep toe pumps.
The peep toe part may not apply, but that flap thing that sticks up at the front definitely reminds me of the shoes of our Pilgrim pals.


Manolo Blahnik black pumps with rhinestone buckle detail at toe.
An even more modern approach to the Pilgrim buckle shoe, these jewel encrusted evening shoes from Manolo Blahnik still give a nod to our Thanksgiving forefathers.

So when you are sitting down with your family enjoying that delicious turkey dinner, don't forget to take a moment to give thanks to the true gift of the Pilgrims. Hot shoes! :)
