Titou's Gazpacho by Paul Mayer Attitudes
Since you did not go to Press Day at Paul's, we're here to share his fantastic ideas with you. If a person has good taste and is a designer certainly this extends to other areas of their life, and to that end we share Titou's Gazpacho.
Ingredients:
1 onion
1 red bell pepper
1 cucumber peeled and seeded
1 clove of garlic
4 ripe tomatoes
1 roll of white bread (small, like the size of your palm)
1 cup of oil
1.5 cups of red wine or sherry vinegar
salt & pepper
Make sure you are wearing one of your Paul Mayer pairs when you make this; then it will taste even better. Peachy suggests the same color pair so you know yours is right if it looks like Paul's gazpacho which matches this shade of shoe:
1. Cut all vegetables into one-inch pieces
2. Soak bread in water for 5 minutes and then squeeze water out of bread
3. Pulse all ingredients in Blender. Peachy uses Vitamix.
4. Salt and pepper to taste
Serves six, or you and 5 of your pairs of shoes that want to partake in the festivities!

Paul Mayer's luxuriously, comfortable designs keep women coming back for multiple -- even dozens -- of pairs. Classic, yet contemporary and always comfortable, his shoes are an addiction that we highly recommend.
A staple of the Paul Mayer collection is the simple ballet-flat, with true ballerina construction for a perfect fit that comes in a variety of colors and materials. A cult favorite is the cozy, a flat with lavender-scent infused soles adding style and fragrance to collector's closets as Paul's designs emerge in sophisticated design incarnations season after season in the most incredible hues, textures and modern innovations in luxury footwear because we know firsthand how incredibly brilliant he is. Here are two recent hot numbers from the Paul Mayer hit parade:
Mayer founded the brand in 2004 with partner, Jeff Levy. All shoes in the line are manufactured in Spain’s Valencia region, along the Mediterranean coast by a skilled staff of 12 artisans. They craft each pair of shoes with an old-world attention to detail that includes in-house embroidery, quilting and stitching as well as custom tanned leather. This allows the brand to cater to each retailer’s specific demands in with timely and consistent alacrity, with orders completed in an unheard-of 3 to 5 weeks.
In 2011, Paul Mayer stepped out into Manhattan's Upper East Side with a new attitude, opening his flagship store at 1388 Third Avenue. The store which cleverly resembles a pink and black shoebox offers up to 150 shoe styles, including his popular ballerinas, exclusive designs and more. As an added bonus, shoppers have the chance of running into the designer, himself. Paul's sage shopping advice and style eye has made him the New York shoe lover's best kept secret. When not in New York, Paul can be found traveling to his myriad of stores across the country meeting his loyal clientele or vacationing in his favorite spot, the Royal Hawaiian on Waikiki Beach.
