Oh, and one other thing, poodles: Emmett now has a line of SHOES!

They're GORGE and they'll be available on his site soon.

Now, warm up those credit cards, ladies!

MUCH better than the Kayne attempt at shoes...
ReplyDeleteI could actually wear those to work and not need ankle/knee surgery the next day... AND look totally FAB!
Kudos Emmett!!!
Fabulous shoes! I love them and they're so in right now.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the ballerinas! I wear them all the time. Great job, Emmett!!
ReplyDeleteOHMYGOD I love the shoes! They remind me of the Poiret Exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute here in NY.
ReplyDeleteAnd darlings, Emmett does look a lot hotter with short hair.
They remind me of vintage shoes from the 60s/70s. A thousand times classier than Kaynes shoes.
ReplyDeleteVery elegant and you can tell they're well made. Great job, Emmett!
ReplyDeleteI love the third one. I'm a dancer and that's the kind of look I always go for when I go out.
ReplyDeleteLove the beige t-straps. They remind me of my favorite pair of ballroom shoes (in a good way)!
ReplyDeleteAnd of course, love Emmett,
And love you Boys too!
Kaynebow take note: This is class AND sass! I seriously need one of each of those.
ReplyDeleteSo work-friendly: you could style it up AND be subdued enough to pass the strictest of dress codes. Oh, and yeah, the walkability factor is a major plus. Perhaps the lesbo going to the swanky wedding in Chicago (see T&L's other blog) should try to procure a pair of these very Hepburn-esque hotties.
I've been to Emmett's store and everything is top quality, down to the last detail. I'm sure he wouldn't settle for anything less than fabulous shoes. Now, Emmett darling, how about some fabulous bags?
ReplyDeleteOh, cute shoes!
ReplyDeleteI *love* the last two pair. I would snap both those up in a second!
ReplyDeleteOMG shoes! They're actually very cute! I like 'em!
ReplyDeleteNow, those are shoes that a reasonable woman could wear. I love the third pair. The color is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteRats, and I just moved from New England to the Twin Cities in Minnesota! If I were still working in MA I would so be there to meet Emmett and buy those last shoes. Will these be sold in his online store too? Must buy soon!
ReplyDeleteThey're all beautiful but one more vote for the third pair. Beautiful color and leather!
ReplyDeleteI'm with the masses on this one - and I LOVE the red ones (I pair in 9-1/2, please.)
ReplyDeleteDon't want to dis Kayne, though - the boy does understand his client base, and his shoes are appropraite for the pagent / prom crowd. My bad ankles just couldn't take them.
AES
Will his shoes be available in wide widths--like EEE, because I would really love them? It can't just be Payless for me when it comes to wide-width shoes. :-(

i love the shoes. so very emmett!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shoes!! Emmett, you are a winner!!
ReplyDeleteSorry, I have to disagree about the heels. The shoes are nicely designed, and in great colors, but the grandma height heels, not so much. They need to be higher or lower; they're kind of an awkward in-between height (except for the flats, of course), and with the curved-in sort of Louis-type heel, they look kind of dated. The flats are good, the purple is a nice counterpoint to the other fall colors already out there. But Emmett's hair, spot on!
ReplyDeleteI also have to disagree about the love for the heels. They're so matronly and old looking like vintage shoes that never should have come back. Love Emmett, love his hair, but I have no love for his shoes.
ReplyDeleteThose low-heeled, 20's inspired shoes are what's trendy right now. The 4 inch fuck me heels are out of style.

Well, they're back. Just open the latest edition of Vogue or nay fashion magazine. I guess it's a matter of taste, I love them! I just modeled a couple of shoes like those last week (I'm a model).
I love the ballerinas. Any other color besides aubergine?
ReplyDeleteYAY! I live about 30 miles from Lenox and I would love to meet Emmett. That's awesome!!
ReplyDeleteAny idea on what the price points are, from sitting in on that meeting, T&L?
ReplyDeleteThe shoes are beautiful. I personally love the second pair.
ReplyDeleteIt's true: as good as he looked when I wandered into his store, his hair was a little longish and I think short is better. BUT I also think people should wear their hair however it pleases them (not me or anyone else), so if he's happy with it longer, then so am I. And he can't exactly look bad.
ReplyDeleteL-O-V-E the 3rd pair! Please tell me they will be available in a AA for my stupid narrow feet!
ReplyDeleteThe T-straps are beautiful. I wonder if they come in blue green patent leather? ;)
ReplyDeleteEmmett, don't listen to the heel nay-sayers! I am always looking for shoes like these for work. Here in Chicago, we have to do a lot of walking from the el train to our office, etc. and a lower heel is a must for me. That doesn't mean I want "sensible" but ugly shoes. And how about opening a store here??? You have many fashion loving fans in the midwest.
ReplyDeleteThe shoes are FABULOUS! I love all of them. Emmett has an incredible taste.
ReplyDeleteLove them, love them, love them. A heel height I can deal with, and the toes might not be too pointed. (I'd rather not be the sole support of my podiatrist.)
ReplyDeleteBut $175??? I can't imagine paying that much for shoes. (I know, that's sacrelige around here.) Oh, well, it was a nice idea.
Great Shoes - I love stilletos but ballerina shoes are my favorite. They are great to wear anywhere and even on long walks.
ReplyDeletewill they be available in size 11 cause I'd love them too? Or stop at 10 like so many others (booo...)
ReplyDeleteLOVE THE SHOES!
ReplyDeleteThose are HAPPY shoes!
ReplyDeleteComfy, stylish, sensible(not a bad word).
Price point is a little high, but I'm sure they'll endure for years.
Love the red slippers!
Emma P.
prettay! that's my ideal height for heels. i used to be a 3-incher, but those days are long gone... ;)
ReplyDeleteI ADORE those shoes at the top (the open toes!!!)

Well, I love Emmett. But the shoes? Not so much. They look fine and high quality, but very "been there, done that," particularly the heels. The ballerinas are cute, but my dirty little secret is that I find ballerina shoes a) unflattering to anyone wearing skirts and b) uncomfortable as heck.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I wish him nothing but additional success with these.
The shoes are gorgeous and VERY in right now.
ReplyDeleteMeh to the second and third. Bah to ballerina flats. But those gorgeous 20s-style shoes on top? Yes, please! (He needs to throw in a free Charleston lesson with every purchase.)
ReplyDeleteHoly canoli! He DOES look hot in that picture! And those shoes are perfect.
ReplyDeleteoh, I love the ballerina flats! and the red snakeskin! I can cancel my honeymoon and use the money for shoes instead, right?

Yes, winged_sheep, they will be available in size 11.

Love, love those shoes. The 20s inspiration is fabulous. The heel height looks perfect to me for running around in. The ballet flats are cute, but I agree with whoever said that they are not flattering for most women and I find very uncomfortable!
ReplyDeleteI love Emmett and I love the shoes!
ReplyDeleteI love the first pair. Any other color, bitches?
ReplyDeleteEmmett you hot fu**er, I love your shoes!
