Brian Atwood and Jones Apparel Group announced today a new footwear and accessory line called B Brian Atwood.   According to Atwood, the new accessories collection will be inspired by the “East Village girls who have great style”.

The collection will feature shoes priced between $200 and $500 with an initial launch  planned to commence in fall 2011.  While that’s less expensive than the main line, this isn’t exactly affordable to the masses as B Brian Atwood is not a diffusion line but a compliment to the main line.

Tell me, are you excited about B Brian Atwood?  I’m going to reserve judgment until I see the styles and quality of the shoes.

On the plus side and during the semi-hiatus, I’ve come to realize the exact reason why I write for PopCultureTees.

There is a story about him calling Cathy Hardwick every day for a month in hopes of landing a job. Eventually, she agreed to

Because I’m an 8.5, I don’t think much about the travails of trying to find shoes at Size 5 or 6. M1ssKorea, a rather amusing poster on YouTube who can talk about shoes and fashion for hours, has an old post about the Petite Feet Sample Sale (it’s quite long, but you can skip around to see the sale at the beginning and the shoes she bought near the end).

Have any of you ever shopped at this Ontario shoe sale for smaller feet? And if not, where do you petite feeters find your smaller shoes? Sharing with our readers in the comments may help them find their own petite shoes. Certain stores online or bricks and mortar? Do sh

I’m not really feeling a lot of the Coach purses this season. The colors and sequins are over the top – even for me. But with this boot, I could finally visualize myself wearing a pair of Coach shoes that were subtle with just a hint of sexy.

These are for our boot-loving readers for the fall days ahead. If
