Florence, Italy

I’ve just arrived in Italy where the temperature is 82 degrees and the flowers are all in bloom.  Che bella! 

Meanwhile back in the USA we’ve had fabulous girls like Kate Schelter and Reese Witherspoon rocking HOLLYWOULD’s Spring 2007 Collection (see right), as well as HOLLYWOULD favorites Minnie Mortimer & Dabney Mercer (no idea where that photo is from, but j’adore), and our fabulous part-time store staffer Whitney Klomp wearing our ballets on her recent trip to Ireland.  Thanks girls!

In Palm Beach things have been sailing along, and last week our store manager Emily got a phone message that went a little something like this: 

"Hello Emily.  Zis eez Ivana Trump. I vood like to zank you for dropping off zee beautiful Hollyvood shoes zat my daughter, Ivanka, ordered for me. Zey fit perfectly. I will be looking forward to receiving zee black pair at my home in New York."

How much to we love Ivana?  She is truly divine, and now we know where zee lovely Ivanka gets all of her charm and class.   Zey are fabulous.

We love Intermix!  If for some reason you are not lucky enough to live near our favorite shop Intermix, you really must check out their website www.intermixonline.com, which now has a great selection of our favorite new metallic HOLLYWOULD d’orsay ballets.  We love being in their stores and on their fabulous site, and we are especially enamored by their description of our favorite shoe:

HOLLYWOULD Audrey D'Orsay Ballerina Flats:  So many ballerina flats this spring... so how you know which ones to choose? Quite simply, we've found the very best pair for you in this season's must-have metallic gold or silver leather. They have a feminine D'Orsay cut, rounded square toes and edges trimmed with 1/4" ribbed fabric for comfort. Attached are 1/2" by 27" grosgrain ribbon ties to add that finishing touch. 1/4" heel and rubber driving treads over leather soles. Whole and half sizes 36-40. The flats run ever so slightly small so order up 1/2 size for the best fit. In gold or silver.
