ICYMI: The Vince Camuto Showroom is a Clotheshorse's Wet Dream See it All..Almost; Van Cleef & Arpels Celebrates Handcrafted Arts

Vince Camuto's showroom is clotheshorse's wet dream. I mean it is literally wall to wall shoes and handbags. Clothes hang on racks in the middle of the room and accessories are on display on coffee tables. Oh to have a closet like that. 

I'm seriously regretting not taking a wideview shot of the showroom. But then, there's always next season. In the meantime, check out a few of my favorites from the many collections. And just know, there's more to come...
