It is by Steve Madden, of all lines, and it is called Carmila. In this season of saucy espadrilles and boho leather work, and the coming season of avante garde chunky wedges, there is something genuinely refreshing about a simple, austere pump, the high-heeled pointy-toed stiletto. It's gracefully scooped, for a little sex appeal, the toe is a little squat (good for this girl with tiny feet), and the heel is just the right height. This is the LBD of the shoe world, just as subtle, as versatile, as eternally chic, as difficult to find, and as deeply personal. I love the black suede, velvety and Hepburnish, just pure grace: on this shoe the tides of fashion-victimism will not avail. But the fire of the red, so vibrant it is almost a neutral? Or the sly charm of the turquoise, a color I am always attracted to (whispers: it would be so crisp in the winter)? Or the grey, THE color of Fall 2006, so directionally perfect? Agh, I want them all (they do say, when you find a perfect "basic", purchase in bulk). At zappos.com.
