Trojan Calf
Hard to Resist that Spartacus look. Actually, even Brad Pitt needed a ‘calf double,’ but, should you choose to strap on the trend, there are limitless options. I splurged for Balenciaga’s modified strappy sandal-esque version in the hopes that I would be able to use these perhaps a tad past next season just in case HBO doesn’t produce another season of ROME (and they are running out of Emperors….).
Chanel did a short and a long (read that as ‘unwearable’ this side of the Forum–okay, Elena, you have a right to wear them) patent version — and Sergio Rossi –do check out Vivre.com– jumped on the chariot with his luxe view of all things Roman. Caveat Emptor.

I was in Palm Beach and saw the director of that Chanel Boutique wearing the short version of these sandals. Even she had a tough time pulling it off in context. I’d like to see Russell Crowe wear them. I really enjoy reading your posts, I’m looking forward to seeing what your new site will emerge as–can’t wait to shop. Will you take consignment? Thanks, Faith
