How rad is thepalatinesshoes.com? The elegant, minimalist, fashion-forward footwear, designed by local lady Jessica Taft Langdon, is super reasonably priced, considering the old-school craftsmanship (they're handmade in L.A.) and the quality of the soft, yummy leathers from which they're made. Sold in a handful of thoughtful, well-curated boutiques throughout the city, these are the shoes you slip on when you want to look effortlessly chic, vaguely European, and possibly like an Olsen twin. Whether it's a sculptural wedge, a lace-up slide sandal or a simple yet thoroughly lust-worthy mule in the world's most perfect shade of camel, the Palatines is the urban sophisticate's favorite footwear. Treat yourself to many a pair, immediately.
