melissa clearance

It's Melissa clearance time at Epaulet! Adorable and comfortable Melissa styles are on sale from 30%-75% off....quite exciting...

Melissa Ashanti Ankle Bootie Flocked $85 (reg. $120)

I just got these a couple months ago and they are my new favorite winter Melissa's! They look like velvet, but they are still waterproof and cushiony just like the rubber versions. They are definitely the most comfortable pair of ankle booties that I own. They look adorable with ankle-length leggings or footless tights.

Melissa + Vivienne Westwood 3 Straps Elevated $110 (reg. $160)

This is my other recent addition to my Melissa shoe collection...I have them in black, but the eggplant and teal are currently on sale. Again, these are the most comfortable 3.5" heels that I own....cushiony and bouncy at the ball of the foot. And they look just like patent leather so you can pair them with tights and a cocktail dress and wear them for a night out.

Melissa + Vivienne Westwood Lady Dragon $75 (reg. $149)

These are so playful and girly! If only I had a place to wear them...

You can see the rest of the Melissa's on sale at Epaulet's Brooklyn store on Smith St. or in their Melissa Clearance section online.

i can't get enough of melissa shoes

{Melissa Vinyl Heel in Pale Gray}

Here I am again professing my love for the fun, comfortable, and unique collection of Melissa Plastic Dreams footwear. I spent a good amount of time at Epaulet with wonderful owner Adele last week in Brooklyn while I tried on every style available...and I am here to give a full report!

{Melissa Night III in Black}

I posted a while back when I first discovered the amazingly complete collection of Melissa Plastic Dreams shoes at Epaulet. Now I have been there multiple times and actually own a few pairs of Melissa shoes so I can tell you more about them.

Melissa shoes are made in Brazil from recycled plastic. They are molded from one soft piece, so they are extremely comfortable with no hard edges to cause rubbing. I wear them all day and they stay comfortable! Some people worry about foot odor with plastic shoes, but they actually have a sweet fruity smell and are extremely easy to wash with soap and water. I am completely obsessed with these shoes and want to own every pair!!

I will keep you udpated with new styles as they come out, but here are my current picks:



Melissa Campana Corallo in Coral $79
Got these! I love wearing these for a pop of color with simple jeans and tank. The shoes are asymmetrical so the left is different from the right. I also loved them in Silver.


Melissa Night III in Black $79
These are the most basic Melissa shoes. I mentioned them in my original post but I get tons of comments on them everytime I wear them, so I thought I would mention them again. They look great on (see picture above), they are waterproof, comfortable, affordable, and they can pass as patent leather so you can even wear them to work...I guess I don't understand why everyone doesn't get a pair of these!


Melissa Vinyl Heel in Pale Gray $99
Got these too! They look absolutely amazing on with the solid one piece wedge heel (see picture above). The pale gray is a unique and fun color for summer. Love them!



Melissa Alexandre Herchcovitch Scarfun Wedge in Navy Pearl $99
The most comfortable ankle strap 3.5" wedge heel that you will ever wear.

You will be hearing a lot about Melissa shoes and Epaulet from me over the next months...

united nude elastic bootie

United Nude Fold Elastic Bootie $185

One of my favorite Brooklyn boutiques, Epaulet, is now carrying the United Nude Elastic Bootie in two brightly colored striped variations. I stopped by the store immediately after I found out about them to try them on and they are amazing!

United Nude is a footwear line started by a team of two design superstars: Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and British shoemaker Galahad Clark (founder of Clark's shoes). Together they create unique and fashion-forward shoes that examine the intersection between fashion and design. It is easy to see Rem's architectural influence in the shoe styles with highly conceptual designs, inventive heels, and materials not usually used for footwear (PVC, elastic, hard modeled carbon fiber).

The Fold Elastic Bootie is formed from a single elastic band that wraps around the foot. The vibrant striping on the elastic seems a little outrageous, but it actually looks fabulous on! The elastic creates a snug and comfortable fit. These shoes definitely make a bold and fashionable statement!

The Fold Elastic Bootie Bright Mix is available at Epaulet for $185. These shoes are nearly impossible to find in the U.S. so I was so excited to see that Epaulet is carrying them and has a lot in stock!
