7:49 PM - Adventure In A Shoebox
Chalk it up to Spring fever; I've taken to window shopping not just
in boutique windows and catalogs but also in restaurants, in line
at the bank and whilst watching movies. My present favorite is the
2006 film version of W. Somerset Maugham's The Painted Veil, in
which Naomi Watts manages to look enviably chic in drop-waist
shifts despite the mud and heat of rural China. Set within the
1920s,Shopping for

romantic, set against a sweeping backdrop of green mountains and
rushing rivers. It's a compelling story, too, but I was hooked from
the opening scene, when Watts' character (the charmingly
self-centered Kitty Fane) sat on the side of the road, perched on
her steamer trunk, and impatiently tapped her Oxford flats in a
puddle. Those shoes! So school-girl practical and but so crisply
buttoned-up in a Passage to India way. Following all, those 19th
and 20th century colonizing-obsessed Brits had a way with dressing
for every occasions, regardless of how humid, muddy or
mosquito-infested the climes. Not to sound like my grandmother
(who, by the way, by no means actually uttered the words I'm about
to write), but people just don't dress anymore. It's all tracksuits
and slip-on shoes for each jet-set locale; every romantic
adventure. As The Painted Veil culminated in an orchestral swell, I
consoled myself with 1 last glimpse of Kitty Fane's timeless
footwear and switched off the DVD. The extremely next day, an Urban
Outfitter's catalog found its way into my mailbox and, simply
because the cover image was shot in lush, exotic India, I instantly
flipped through. And what to my questioning eyes ought to seem?
Summer-perfect oxfords! Available in subdued shades of gray and
cream, these airy lace-ups are ready-made for embarking on voyages,
traipsing down cobbled streets and stamping at a puddle or two.
