So I've been mildly fixated on "oil slick" looks and behold, these oxfords in this month's StyleWatch!

And didn't even know there was such a thing as an "oil slick" look.

I saw those and fell in love. Have you found where to buy, yet?

WANT.

By the way, a lot of retailers call this color "petrol" if you want to do a search. (Sometimes it returns teal things as well, but you know me, I'm not going to have a problem with that!)

How do you polish them if they scuff?

So fab!

Have you bought anything with that finish yet? How does it hold up?

Very cool look! I saw some oxfords with a similar finish from Diesel--kind of fitting, isn't it??

JAileen, I tried those! They were too narrow. Also I think the darker color is more my style.

Diana, great tip!

No idea where to buy or about the finish. And they are $385 (gulp). Am going to keep my eye out for other versions!

Oh.. those are pretty! If you're into nail polish I would highly recommend that you wear a holographic polish to match your amazing shoes.

I tried something in the spring in that color; I love it. I think they were an Angie pick that didn't work on my widish foot.

Wow! At first I was wondering, oil slick? Alaska? has there been a oil slick? Then I clicked through. Perfect decription though!

These are awesome. I saw some Rebecca Minkoff pumps last year in a similar finish but thought the heel was too high and didn't bite. These on the other hand look quite comfy!

I swear I posted to this thread earlier, but it seems to have disappeared. Grrr!
Anyway, I had wanted to say that Stuart Weitzman has some things with this finish, too.
Like this clutch:

It looks a little strange in the picture, but I've seen it in person, and it's a gorgeous example of that oil slick finish.
