In this vibrant follow-up to Episode 1 (still the most-downloaded episode to date!), host Anna Anisin welcomes back Chef Nicole Votano — longtime friend, culinary creative, and the original I Want Her Shoes guest — for an unfiltered, fashion-filled conversation that’s equal parts laughter, luxury, and life updates. From outfit changes in a NYC restroom to a private visit at the Louis Vuitton Café, Anna and Nicole reflect on friendship, travel, and the fashion memories they’ve made — including iconic sunglasses, color-coordinated closets, and limited-edition desserts that may or may not belong in a vault. Together, they unpack summer style trends, what Miami Swim Week signals for the season ahead, and how fashion continues to echo cultural shifts — from power suits and pearls to fringe, mesh, and metallics. 👠 Key Moments: - A behind-the-scenes look at their spontaneous trip to the Louis Vuitton Café and why it was very worth the bathroom outfit change. - Nicole and Anna break down major summer fashion trends — from high-glam metallics and see-through mesh to timeless menswear and chic, structured power suits. - The two dive into Zara’s trend takeover, fast fashion price hikes, and how to style trendy pieces without breaking the bank. - Honest conversations about aging, aesthetics, and self-image in a city as curated as Miami — plus the pressure and beauty of owning your own look. - Closet hacks, personal fashion philosophies, and the shoes that set the tone for an entire day. 🎧 Tune in for a hilarious, heartfelt, and highly stylish episode that reminds us why what we wear matters — because every piece tells a story. And don’t forget: Wear your story. Because your style says more than you think. Adding a chic twist to each episode, the 'I Want Her Shoes Podcast' is recorded in Anna’s stunning personal closet, strategically located near the vibrant Miami Design District. This unique setting not only provides a visually captivating backdrop but also embodies the spirit of fashion and innovation that the area is known for. 📺 Watch the episodes on YouTube to get a glimpse of this one-of-a-kind Miami closet—it’s definitely worth the view! https://www.youtube.com/@IWantHerShoesPodcast Follow us for more updates: Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iwanthershoespodcast/ Anna’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iwanthershoes/ Nicole's Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/thechefnicole/ Nicole’s website: https://nicolevotano.com/ EPISODE CREDITS: Writer and Host: Anna Anisin Produced, edited, and mixed by the Formulatedby Team LINKS: Visit the I Want Her Shoes Website Follow on Instagram Watch on YouTube Subscribe to the Newsletter
