Suppose you’ve ever wondered what to wear to long holiday dinners, what gift to choose for someone with impeccable taste, or how to stay chic while traveling.

In that case, this guide brings you three real holiday problems and the handcrafted Italian solutions to solve them.

 

1. Holiday Party Shoes for Women: The Holiday Marathon Problem

Holiday celebrations often mean hours on your feet — moving from the dinner table to the living room, chatting with friends, or strolling through candlelit gatherings. The question becomes:

Monroe - The Confidence Heel - Luna Selene

The answer is the Monroe Red Pump, our bestselling Italian-crafted block heel. Designed with ultra-soft suede, supportive construction, and a balanced heel height, Monroe offers quiet luxury without the discomfort of traditional heels.

Shannon Slack dreamed of building a small luxury brand that was defined by a woman’s wish to reimagine her feminine style.

With the modern fashion industry focused on dressing down, she wanted to create a brand for women who cherished the art of dressing up.

A fierce lover of mid-twentieth-century fashion, her designs are classically inspired, feminine, and comfortable.

Red, the color of power, is the mainstay throughout many of her designs, while the block heel is incorporated to ensure Luna Selene shoes can be worn from “desk to dusk.”

Her vision has evolved since Luna Selene launched in the Fall of 2020, and she continues to create designs that are inspired and influenced by the women she meets every day.

The Jackie O. Houndstooth Bootie is a fashionable and timeless shoe, featuring a chic black and white houndstooth pattern. The intricate fusion of the houndstooth textile upper and the Venetian red heel creates a "classically cool" aesthetic.

This ankle bootie is perfect for channeling your inner Emily In Paris. It comes with a modern, 2-inch red patent block heel that is comfortable to wear all day long.

The luxurious gel, leather insole will mold to your feet, while the outsole with rubber grip provides maximum stability.

This unique shoe is perfect for any holiday party, and it's unlikely that anyone else will be wearing it (unless they have great taste and have already bought it, wink). You can wear it to coffee, dinner, drinks, nights out with the girls, holiday parties, and more!
