FASHION ACCESSORY
ELLE.com names The Substance of Style today's "Essential," a must-have for the fashion-savvy:
Hailed [in Elle--vp] as one of an exciting new breed of public intellectuals, Postrel has the rare gift of being able to synthesize fields as diverse as economics (her specialty), fashion, politics, and more. Here, she uses this talent to argue persuasively and engagingly that, increasingly, style is substance, that our aesthetic choices, far from being shallow, can actually provide valuable cultural insights. Which, as every woman with a pair of Manolos and a brain knows, is brilliantly obvious.
No Manolos for me. But I swear by these Via Spiga pumps. You can stand in them for hours (at least if you're me and naturally walk on your toes).
