Gravity Pope is a little upscale graduate student in its vibe (OK: very upscale grad student) and I learned of it through In Professorial Fashion. Here are my picks, for the classroom and beyond (think meta):
 |
| Acne |
 |
| Giraudon |
 |
| Audley |
These boots are not my *favorite,* but I am easily seduced by their label. How could a lit prof not love something that invokes Lady Audley's Secret?
And here is the inevitable link to the wonderful Idina Menzel singing "Defying Gravity." Requisite name dropping: I didn't see Wicked, but I saw Idina from the fifth row, fourth week of Rent, back in 1996.
Not to reject the Pope half of Gravity Pope, here is a link to a rather genius-ly named hair salon: Alexander Pope.
You'll recall his Rape of the Lock, which I invoked here. Oh: and here, too.

That hair salon name! Too funny!
Never heard of it till now. But it is west coast. You know how annexed we are from one another :-)
You have such great taste in shoes!
Managed to drive right past Gravity Pope this afternoon, such restraint -- and that was after I'd been to a 40-year retrospective of Fluevog & Friends and had my shoe mojo revved up!
That would be a very lucky grad student, I have to say, and perhaps even one prepared to forego a textbook or two . . .
I like the first pair the best.
By the way, I'm heading to Cape Cod next week (plus Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard). Any recommendations for must-see places/restaurants/shops?
I'm also doing a $100 Shopbop giveaway if you'd like to apply. :)
Shoe #1 is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous. GORGEOUS!
I love that website. It's definitely porn for shoe enthusiasts.
