get a grip

Icy winter sidewalks are around the corner but that doesn’t mean donning mukluks on the party circuit.

We’re saving the Sorels for a country hike and striding the streets in our chicest Lanvin blue patent T-straps thanks to WinterTrax ($19.99).  Made from high-abrasion steel coils, these portable rubbers stretch over the under sole of any shoe or boot, firmly gripping onto ice.

Now we can walk tall without fear of elegantly face planting into a snow bank.
