Ooh, aah — Oprah loves these shoes
Be & D Kan Kan platform sandal.
If you saw the bag and shoe intervention episode on “The Oprah Show” on Monday, you may remember the talk show host referring to these shoes as “car service shoes.” Well, they’re probably not the shoes you slip into and stroll around downtown or traipse the mall for hours, but the hidden platform does offer some support. At least that’s what the company says.
The Kan Kan platform sandal with ruffle T strap is by Be & D, and it’s available in taupe and black for about $600. Oprah couldn’t stop talking about the shoes. It’s no secret that she loves a shoe with higher power.

I might have mentioned once or twice how much I like designer Isaac Mizrahi. He was always a friend to the regional press during Fashion Week; many of the designers didn’t even acknowledge that reporters outside of New York wrote about fashion.
Anyway, here’s another update on Mizrahi, who is QVC’s most high-profile fashon recruit, according to Women’s Wear Daily. Isaac Mizrahi Live makes it debut Dec. 4 on the shopping channel, featuring some of his own favorite goodies with a bit of holiday flair. The lineup includes everything from handbagsto berets to cheesecake, with a launch price range of about $32 to $300.
I plan to tune in. And you can expect a reminder here, too.
Here’s the story, along with some preview pictures, from Women’s Wear Daily.

She tweeted the next day that she wasn’t hurt, but the city had to be a bit embarrassed. She was in the Spanish capital to collect an award from Telva magazine for best international collection.
