Hit me Hardy

Silver is definitely THE color for this summer. But that’s not news. The news is that I just found THE most fabulous pair of silver shoes… and they come straight from Paris! The beautiful ‘Jezus Sandal’ by Pierre Hardy completely took my heart … and wallet ($758!). But trust me, this is THE shoe purchase for the season, totally worth the splurge.

The former Hermès cobbler is considered the king of shoes in Paris (along with Louboutin & Frisoni, respectively) and after inspecting his creations, it’s not hard to figure out why. Pierre Hardy launched his successful, self-titled collection in the summer of 1999. He is now creative director for Hermes Jewelry and designs the shoe collection for Balenciaga. Phew! Do I have to say anything else?

You can find some of his designs at select brick and mortar Neiman Marcus stores. But if you’d rather not take the chance of missing a pair of these, visit one of my favorite online stores, aloharag.com and maybe, if you’re lucky, your size won’t be sold out yet.
