Here's your next fashion/social media tid-bit. Bergdorf Goodman's blog, 5th/58th, has just launched the coolest online initiative for Shoe-lovers everywhere!
Shoes About Town is an interactive map of Manhattan that features user-uploaded Instagram photos of women's shoes at "their" favorite locales. Examples so far include a pair of Chanel booties at LADURÉE* on Madison Avenue and Jimmy Choo platforms spending time on the Highline. When users upload their photos via Instagram, the geo-locator is used to assign the proper location of the shoes to the map.

My next project: add a photo of my Louboutins hanging out in Soho. Where do you and your shoes hang out?
If you are big into designer shoes, and don't mind tantalizing yourself a bit, you can also download Bergdorf's iPhone app, "Today's Shoe." Every day users are sent a new pair of shoes, from the store's collection of very-high-end designers like Brian Atwood, Lanvin, Christian Louboutin and Miu Miu, to name a few. [Lucky people who don't need to to pay rent] can click to buy straight from the app. Brace yourselves, prices start at about $400 and don't stop at the $1,000 mark! Perhaps just for inspiration...
*If there's one thing you can afford to buy from this post, it's a macaron from LADURÉE! This famous French store from the Champs-Elysées in Paris has just opened it's first U.S. location at 864 Madison Avenue near 70th Street. Stop by for a macaron in one of the unbelievable and imaginative flavors offered, such as Madagascar chocolate, Black Forest Cherry or Caramel with Salted Butter. It won't enhance your wardrobe, but it will be French and fabulous. Enjoy!
