Sundance & Social Media Sorel Style
“Now through January 29, consumers have a chance to score customized lace plate boot accessories and a pair of Sorels, compete in a Polyvore Style Challenge, and get real-time updates from the festival” (Yahoo). Bringing the Sundance excitement to their Facebook fans,  Sorel is giving users the exclusive opportunity to create custom lace plates using their ‘Decked Out. Laced Up.’ Facebook tab. As it they weren’t active enough in their social media endeavors, Sorel recently launched a Polyvore style challenge; “through SOREL’s Polyvore Facebook Tab, the boot brand asks consumers to create looks from a closet curated in collaboration with Alex Frank, style editor of The FADER, a music, culture and style publication. The top 10 consumer-created looks will win a pair of SOREL boots and one winner will receive boots plus a $300 gift card to shop the look” (Yahoo).
Don’t let the celebs get all the Sorel star treatment, shop Sorel!

The man can do no wrong — Karl Lagerfeld, the “king” of fashion, never fails to amaze us with his many styling and design talents (not to mention the 30 iPads he carries with him at all times). LagerÂfeld’s difÂfuÂsion line, Karl, launched January 25th and is sold exclusively online at Net-a-Porter.
Alike to his own personal style, the budget collection features black and white clothing and accessories retailing from $50 for a canvas tote to aprox. $1,000 for leather pieces. As to be expected, Karl’s trademark fingerless leather gloves make an appearance as do fabulous faux colors. Among the 70-piece collection are 8 pairs of shoes, from metallic sneakers to gladiator sandals, the footwear is simple yet impressive.
We can handle the trademark Karl profile on the tees and tanks, but what about the shoes?! Walking with the support of Lagerfeld on your soles would sure put a pep in our step (we’re just sayin…it’s suggestion for the next collection).

So it’s no big deal or anything, but we’re having a BLOWOUT SALE… okay, maybe it is a big deal — so big that nearly 4,000 items are on sale. It may be time to warm your latte, turn off your cell for 2 hours, and get comfortable at your desk because you’ll be here a while (don’t forget to grab your credit card though).
While we’re only featuring 10 of our best selling sale items, nearly every brand in stock is on sale; that means styles and colors to fit any and all wardrobe needs. It may be boot season but in addition to snagging our sale boots, don’t forget to nab a sandal or two to store away for sunny days to come….it’ll be here sooner than you think (so maybe 2 months isn’t exactly SOON per-say but you catch our drift).

Love is in the air and Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching. For all of you coupled up (*gag*), remember that a couple that shops together stays together.
Whether you’re having a  snowball fight, rocking out at a concert, enjoying a dinner for two, or making googly eyes at a gala, we’ve got shoes to fit your Valentine’s date needs. While we aren’t huge advocates of being matchy-matchy, if any day is the day to be cliche Valentine’s Day is it!

February is a month filled with love AND shoes with THREE (yes,three) footwear launches. Thanks to InStyle , we’ve marked our calendars and are making space in our shoe closets for some of our favorite brand launches and collaborations.
1. The t-shirt brand you already love, Splendid is making their mark this month in the footwear industry with a 30-piece shoe collection featuring flats,wedges, and espadrilles. All in all the perfect summer shoes to match your ultra soft Splendid tees.
2. One of our best selling brands, Toms, is expanding to eco-friendly ballet flats made from burlap,suede, and linen. Don’t worry, they are still following in their philanthropic footsteps, donating a pair for a pair.
3. If you happen to have $900 laying around this collaboration is for you (and we’re jealous). Manolo Blahnik is partnering with socially conscious designer M. Platmos for a sustainable shoe line. {More Information}

“The biggest stars of film and television descended upon the Beverly Hilton on Jan. 15 for Hollywood’s “biggest party” and for the announcement of this year’s 69th annual Golden Globes” (Hollywood Reporter). Television and film icons dripping in jewels, gowns, and tuxes proudly walked the red carpet as cameras flashed and fans gawked in awe from their living rooms.
Like many formal award ceremonies, the floor-length gowns often hide our favorite part: the shoes. Those who showed us some leg, provided us a peek at their sky-high stilettos — black, tan, metallic, black, some more tan, then a hint of metallic. Unlike the MTV awards or the Grammys, most played it cool with sopistocated simple pumps, none adventuring outside of the neutral palette. All in all, a ho-hum year for shoes, leaving us hoping for more.
