Celebs Go Native with Minnetonka

Tuesday, December 13th, 2011

There is a footwear epidemic sweeping the nation (ok, maybe just Hollywood) and its ringleader is Minnetonka. From Kate Moss to Lindsay Lohan, celebrities strut their street style for the cameras, sporting Minnetonka boots and booties. These moccasins were invented long before Kate Moss stopped eating and Lohan went to jail (for the fifth time) and will be here long after this trend has come and gone — which we don’t foresee in the near future.

The boots are perfect for a quick trip to the newsstand to pick up your weekly tabloids or for a weekend music festival. Easy to match with nearly anything you’ll find comfort in the ultra-soft suede, which only gets softer over time. Leave your stilettos behind and show your casual side with Minnetonka (paparazzi not included).

In Her Shoes: Featuring Sienna Miller & OTBT

Thursday, November 17th, 2011

sienna miller

Celebrities like Sienna Miller inspire us to dream big, work hard, and shop even harder.  The actress slash model was recently spotted rocking slouchy sandstone strappy boots on THREE separate occasions – she must really love those boots (and those jeans).

While we don’t advise wearing them every day (nobody likes a repeat offender), Miller shows us how easy these boots transition from one jean and slouchy sweater combo to the next. Unlike Miller, try wearing the boots not only with jeans but also with a boho dress or even crimson red chords.  Wear the OTBT Noblesville Flat Ankle Boot mid-calf or rolled down for a slouchy “I don’t have time to strap myself in” look.

What you need to know about OTBT Noblesville: The soft leather crafts the ankle bootie upper and gets cinched with slightly contrasting straps that sport the hardware bling of metal buckles. A long inside zipper gets you in easily, while the comfort of that flat outsole keeps you there!

What Would Carrie Do?

Monday, November 7th, 2011

You can’t be a shoe fanatic and not feel akin to Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) — the style icon who put Manolo on the map. While we don’t advise spending a month’s rent on one pair of Manolos or Loubs, you can still pull a ‘Carrie’ with DNA Footwear.

Before you select a pair or heels, ask yourself ‘What Would Carrie Do?’ and style accordingly. The fashionable New Yorker galavants around the city in only the most coveted footwear — from Swarovski crystals to bow embellished stilettos. Rarely will you catch Carrie in flats, which is unrealistic for a New Yorker who spends her days walking, but since it’s Sex and the City we’ll overlook this inaccuracy.

twilight dna footwear

Thursday November 3, 2011 — With only two weeks until Part I of Breaking Dawn hits theaters, Twilight fever has hit Los Angeles. Greeted by hundreds of screaming fans, the young Twilight celebrities added their hand and footprints to an already impressive list of Hollywood stars.

Kristen Stewart wore a mini dress from Marios Schwab’s spring 2012 collection to the Hand and Foot Print Ceremony at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood along with fellow Twilight costars Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. The ever-so-awkward young woman arrived to the ceremony wearing black velvet Brian Atwood pumps, but quickly changed into checkered Vans for the actual foot printing.

We may not be die-hard about Twilight , but here at DNA Footwear we are crazed Vans fans (unintentional rhyme). From classic white to checkered Vans, the original slip-on sneaker is comfortable and seamlessly clean. Pairing your Vans slip-ons with a formal mini dress is not recommended but as we know, Stewart is anything but conventional.

It’s 1 pm and after hours of endless blog reading, fashion blogger Blonde Bedhead caught our attention.

According to self-proclaimed “PR Pro” Andrea, “I love anything slouchy and comfortable”, making the Mia Naomi High Heel Tan Bootie a perfect fit. During a day dedicated to errunds, the blogger paired her Mia Naomi Booties with black skinny pants, a pancho, faux fur cowl, slouchy bag, and sunnies — the perfect match up for a lazy yet chic day. We admire Andrea of Blonde Bedhead for her continuously impressive style choices, especially when it comes to her footwear.

You too can get the look with the Naomi High Heel Tan Booties and pair them with skinnies, a maxi skirt, or shorts and tights: the possibilities are endless for high heeled booties this fall.

In Her Shoes: Blogger Edition, Featuring Jeffrey Campbell Litas

Tuesday, October 18th, 2011

Jeffrey Campbell Lita

If you are a fashion journalist or spend hours endlessly surfing blogs, you’re sure to have seen your fair share of Jeffrey Campbell Litas. The sky high wooden platform heels are a a go-to for fashion bloggers, with each and every blog featuring a pair (or two or three) at least once in the past year.

With their lace-up details and higher than high heels, these platform boots have gained quite the cult following and are a Jeffrey Campbell and DNA Footwear best seller. The Litas are available in a wide variety of colors, prints, and fabrics — all of which are sure to tickle your footwear fancy.

While we don’t advise purchasing them if you’re an inexperienced high heel wearer (see our previous ‘How To Walk in High Heels’ Post), those who own a pair of these bad boys earn their ‘ooh and ahhs’ as they catwalk down the streets. Paired with skinny jeans, boyfriend jeans, leggings, skirts, shorts, and dresses (yes they go well with EVERYTHING), Litas teach you not only a thing or two about walking in heels but also about wearing shoes in style!

Don’t believe fashion industry bloggers or us? Buy a pair of Jeffrey Campbell Litas for yourself and see what the hype is all about.

In Her Shoes: Demi Lovato

Tuesday, September 20th, 2011

Demi Lovato makes her comeback in LA and is looking more fashionable than ever. Touching down at LAX in July, the young celebrity marched across the airport, rocking Jeffrey Campbell Darian Wedges, as if it were the catwalk. Known for her boho-chic style, Lovato travels in casual attire and easy to slip on (and off) wedges.

You too can walk ‘in her shoes’ with the Jeffrey Campbell Darian High Wedges, available in mustard and black, from DNA Footwear.

(The only question left to ask is ‘where was the stylish Lovato off to’?)
