Going Söfft

Holiday Style: Avant

noreply@blogger.com (Haley) — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 19:30:00 +0000

Nothing is more classic than the pump, and no color is more suited to the holiday season than deep red. Add a splash of glossy patent leather and you've got a beautiful and festive shoe that will not only make you shine during the season but will blend seamlessly into your wardrobe for the rest of the winter! The Söfft Avant has it all, with a modern pointed toe, deep chianti color and sexy wrapped heel!

Holiday Style: Bastia

noreply@blogger.com (Haley) — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 13:38:00 +0000

With so many parties this time of year, it can be overwhelming to put together so many different outfits. That's why it helps to have a go-to holiday shoe, one that can transition you from a small gathering with friends to a night time soirée. Take, for example, the Bastia, a luxurious wintertime boot in soft suede and beautifully textured leather. This boot pulls double duty, too: keeping you both warm and stylish! Throw on your favorite coat, mix up your accessories a bit and before you know it, you've got three knock-out looks that will carry you from party to fabulous party!

A cozy sweater dress gets the holiday treatment with a little sparkle.

Trend Report: Sion

noreply@blogger.com (Haley) — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 14:46:00 +0000

For those of us who have been wearing (and loving) clogs for years, it's time to come out of the shadows and rejoice, because clogs are finally getting their moment in the fashion spotlight. I'm sure we all have that pair of shoes that we keep hidden under our bed, the pair you reach for when you're running out to get the mail or pick up milk at the store, praying you won't run into anyone you know for fear of (gasp!) being seen in an un-trendy pair of shoes! Well your clogs no longer have to be banished to the back of the closet, nor do you have to fear a fashion faux pas when leaving the house again. Clogs are functional, comfortable, and finally, fashionable. Find your clog style in the Sion, a studded modern slip-on with a sexy high heel to take you from the office all the way to a night out!

At the Office

Another benefit to the clog? You can slip 'em off under your desk...

QVC | FFANY Shoes on Sale

noreply@blogger.com (Haley) — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 19:13:00 +0000

A few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of attending QVC's annual event FFANY Shoes on Sale, a special shopping experience that raises money for breast cancer research and education. Since its beginnings in 1994, this event has raised over $34 million to combat the disease, and we here at Söfft are proud to be a part of it! Click here for a photo gallery of the event and see the stars who attended, Angie Harmon, Ivanka Trump and Doris Roberts to name a few, and check out a few of our party pics below - too bad about that view of Central Park, huh?!?

Trend Report: Polina

noreply@blogger.com (Haley) — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 17:12:00 +0000

Ok ladies, let's admit it: walking around in heels all the time (even Söfft ones) can make for some sore soles. We all need a break, so let's take it down a few levels and slip on a pair of flats. These sweet little shoes are perfect to dress up, dress down, and everything in between, all while keeping you comfortable and safely grounded! Try the Polina, as recently seen on RealSimple.com, for a fun and bright take on a classic flat!

Fall Getaway Fashion

When the leaves are changing and the temperature is dropping, there's no better time to put on a cozy jacket, a warm scarf and zip up some majorly fashionable boots. This season we're loving the Stockholm boot, the perfect mix of rugged charm (with that lug sole and oiled leather!) and hip-chic (buckles buckles buckles!) and we're finding that this stunner seems to fit perfectly with our fall weekend-getaway wardrobe! It's a good thing too, because with the way we pack, there might not be room left in our weekend bags for any other shoes...

See the town (and the leaves) in cozy fashion!

noreply@blogger.com (Haley) — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 20:29:00 +0000

Slouch boots are all the rage, and why wouldn't they be? They're soft, comfortable and they make any outfit look fresh and inspired. The Valencia strikes a nice balance between edgy and casual with it's studs and buckles and buttery soft leather. Slip them on with leg-lengthening black pants or tights and relax knowing you look good and feel great!

noreply@blogger.com (Haley) — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 20:34:00 +0000

I'm sure every girl has wanted, or still wants, her own pair of ruby slippers. Ever since Dorothy clicked her heels three times and those sparkling red shoes flashed across the screen, a love affair with red shoes was born. While you may not be able to pull off sequin covered red heels everyday, the Fable mary jane can give you a pretty close look with it's sweet style and shimmering red patent leather. And what better look to pair with red shoes than the classic leopard print, which is turning out to be a hot item for fall!

Style Spotlight: DVF

noreply@blogger.com (Haley) — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 14:20:00 +0000

Diane von Furstenberg is best known for creating THE most figure-flattering dress in fashion history - the Wrap dress. Seriously, there isn't a woman alive who doesn't look flawless in its design. Von Furstenberg also dominates the world of prints in the fashion industry. Her amazing talent for color and pattern combined with her design of beautiful, wearable pieces means that much of everything she shows on the runways will be instant classics. For Fall 2010, she depatred a bit from her usual aesthetic with tailored menswear-inspired pieces and monochromatic looks but still kept the feminine feel that makes her clothing so recognizable. And for those looking for distinctive dresses to add to their wardrobes, DVF most definitely did not disappoint! All her looks were grounded by sexy black heels - if you find yourself in a famous DVF wrap dress, or a similar look, tie it all together with some hot styles from Söfft, the Amalfi, Belvedere and Adria:

Trend Report: Amalfi

noreply@blogger.com (Haley) — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 15:59:00 +0000

The term 'fashion-forward' usually implies a look that is new, edgy, perhaps even 'out-there'. But sometimes, after always trying to come up with the next big thing, fashion takes a break and lets the past do the work from them. That's exactly what happened on the runways for fall, where we saw the resurgence of prim and proper looks inspired by 1950's. Hey - if it ain't broke, don't re-design it! So go ahead and dress like a lady with polished skirts and dresses, top-handle bags and the Amalfi, a refined and classic pump with a feminine bow. Now if only we could bring back the days of drive-ins, jukeboxes and ice cream counters...

Designer Spotlight: 3.1 Phillip Lim

noreply@blogger.com (Haley) — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 14:12:00 +0000

Phillip Lim always seems to get it right, striking the perfect balance between new and exciting fashion and practical, wearable design. For fall, he was on-board with the minimalist and neutral trend, creating looks with luxurious layering and sleek lines. Of course, it wouldn't be a true Phillip Lim show without a flash of sequins...and who isn't in LOVE with those amazing coats?!? I can think of some perfect compliments to these outfits in some of Söfft's detailed suede styles, namely the Rilato, the Ophelia and the Stockholm. Check out our top looks from his Fall 2010 line!

Fall 2010 Fashion Tips Kickoff - the REYNA

noreply@blogger.com (Haley) — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 15:26:00 +0000

Fall is the most transforming season. For almost everyone, it's the end of summer and the return to the more routine. For some, it's the beginning of a new school year, the end of a vacation, and for a select few perhaps the end of an era or the start of something exciting. But I think everyone here can agree that no matter where you are going, what you are starting or what you're leaving behind, there's no better transformation for your look than fall fashion. For a true fashionista, one might even argue for the soul. The texture, the layering, the coziness and the return of those comforting darker colors means endless options for the cooler and shorter days ahead. And with those cooler days comes more accessories - hats, gloves, scarves, are all outlets for showing off your style. And let us not forget about the single greatest transformation that fall brings to us: the return of the tall shaft boot. If that isn't enough to give you the chills, then perhaps you're reading the wrong blog.

To get you excited for fall, I'm introducing you first and foremost to the REYNA, our super sexy gladiator heel that calls to the edgier girl inside of us all. REYNA is a true rockstar, so dress appropriately in chic rock and roll style with gleaming hardware, zippers and studs while you paint the rest black!

Sardinia!

noreply@blogger.com (Haley) — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 19:37:00 +0000

Ciao, Söfft friends! We're back from a sun-filled week in beautiful Sardinia for our Spring 2011 photoshoot. Delicious seafood, warm weather and plenty of gelato was enjoyed by all. In fact, maybe a little too much gelato but what can I say, it's the only way to beat the heat! Check out some of the pics of the trip...

I hope these pics got you a little excited for the next season! While the styles won't be available for a little while, check out our Fall 2010 collection in the mean time and stay tuned here - Fall Fashion Tips starts TOMORROW!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Haley) — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 19:31:00 +0000

Let's face it, packing for a trip is hard. If you're like me, you try to prepare outfits based on your destination and how long you'll be there, but the inevitable extra three, four, or twenty-something pieces always find their way into your bag and before you know it, you're sitting on it just to zipper it closed, never mind breaking your back trying to lift it. Luckily, there are a few tricks to packing just right for a getaway - the most valuable one? Pack lightweight, dark colored, go-with-everything clothing. You'll be amazed at how many outfits you can pull together with the right accessories and just one or two key pieces of clothing. Take a cue from these summer vacation looks, using just one cotton dress and the chic Fiore sandal in gold!

--The Söfft team is heading to Sardinia, Italy for the Spring 2011 photoshoot - you can bet we'll be wearing our Fiores while we're enjoying the beautiful scenery...and the delicious food! See you in a week!--

Trend Report: Ryder

noreply@blogger.com (Haley) — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 16:54:00 +0000

While we may think of gladiator sandals as the hot new trend that's transforming our casual wear into sleek and chic ensembles, the truth is that they've been around since, well...the gladiators. The Romans were definitely beyond their time when it came to things like engineering, agriculture, and fashion. Their discoveries and accomplishments mean we don't have to re-invent the wheel - all we need to do is make it modern. This season, black and white ruled the runways, so grab the Ryder, throw on some crisp black and white pieces because when in Rome... do as the Gods of Style do.

Trend Report: Noral

noreply@blogger.com (Haley) — Fri, 28 May 2010 16:56:00 +0000

Last night, a friend and I watched the movie "An Education" starring the lovely Carrey Mulligan as Jenny. The film was set in London in the 60's, and we both immediately in love with the whole look - the scenery, the music, the retro clothes. Young Jenny went from pretty school girl to impossibly chic virtually overnight, and I kept wondering what it was that was pulling her look together so effortlessly. Naturally, all I had to do was turn to her feet: at the base of every one of her sleek and polished outfits was a pair of slingbacks! The Noral are the perfect summer slingback, with their light natural heels and crossed leather straps revealing a sexy peep-toe.

Give spring/summer's super hot prints trend a touch of classic glamour with a patent slingback!

Trend Report: Petrella

noreply@blogger.com (Haley) — Fri, 14 May 2010 17:20:00 +0000

One of the major shoe trends for spring and summer is the wedge, and for good reason: they're adorable, they're comfortable and while they are more casual than a stiletto, they're so easy to dress up, too! And what's great about the wedge trend is just how well it works with all of spring's other trends. So grab your own pair of the Petrella and have fun mixing and matching your way through the summer!

Trend Report: Sabatina

noreply@blogger.com (Haley) — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 18:03:00 +0000

Tailored black sandals: Every woman should own a pair. They're the footwear equivalent to the little black dress. It's a no brainer to match them up with classic work looks and maybe a select few dresses for a night out, but did you ever think that your classic black sandals could be...a little rock and roll? One of the hottest looks for a few seasons now has been inspired by the rock lifestyle, with edgy metallic hardware, sleek silouhettes, printed tees, leather, and of course, black. Söfft's Sabatina sandal is the perfect blend of everything you need to create some killer looks: sexy black croco leather, classic yet edgy Gladiator styling and enough of a heel to dress you up or tone it down. So try something new, let your inner rocker chic show and get even more style out of the classic black sandal - you already know it looks great with the rest of your wardrobe!

Trend Report: Biata

noreply@blogger.com (Haley) — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 20:29:00 +0000

Spring fashion is full of trendsetting and fun looks this season, from acrylic jewels to flowery prints to neon yellow, well, just about anything. But the one spring trend that is the most flattering, the most universal, and the most timeless (i.e. full of value!) is the neutral color palette. These soft pastel tones look fantastic on absolutely everyone, and they're so chic and refined that no matter what the occasion you're dressing for, you'll be anything but boring! This season, the Biata in Ivory is the perfect shoe to carry you through a spring full of pretty neutrals, with it's Grecian-inpired gladiator design, creamy color and earthy-tan heel. Who needs acid yellow to stand out when you can knock 'em dead in these looks?

Trend Report: Peony

noreply@blogger.com (Haley) — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 13:00:00 +0000

Nothing conjures up thoughts of spring quite like a bursting bouquet of peonies, natures most voluptuous and feminine flower. The name Peony, therefore, is quite fitting for this sweet wedge, with it's large blossom detail, light gold-flecked cork heel and buttery soft leather in a bright coral color. The Peony wedge, much like the peony flower, can't help but bring out the girly side of you. Pair this shoe with muted blush tones and neutral grays to look not only sophisticated, but undeniably charming!

It seems to have happened overnight - the humble clog went from your guilty pleasure shoe to hogging the spotlight and strutting down the catwalk in high style. You heard right, clogs are back! Luckily, Söfft has had faith in the clog for a while now, and we've got plenty of cute and fashionable styles to satisfy this current trend.

Trend Report: Filia

noreply@blogger.com (Haley) — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:19:00 +0000

Today I would like to talk about resort fashion. Mostly because I, myself, would like to be at a resort right now, but more importantly because it's the time of year when many people do visit resorts. A resort vacation is an escape from work and the ho-hum of everyday life, and your wardrobe for such a trip should do the same! It's a chance to play with color, new silhouettes and things you may not normally wear back home. So when you're packing your bags, be sure to include the white Filia sandal - the perfect resort slide with multi-color sparkling jewels and a small heel that's just right for the beach, a day of shopping and finally a romantic dinner in the evening. In fact, you may not even need another pair of shoes on your trip, which leaves more room in your suitcase for important things like SPF, sunglasses and souvenir shot glasses. Bon Voyage!

Spring 2010 Trend Report: Palermo

noreply@blogger.com (Haley) — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 21:37:00 +0000

It's around mid-February every year that I start to set my eyes on the prize - spring, that is. It's the beacon of hope that gets me through the rest of the New England winter, knowing that in (hopefully) just 6 or so weeks I won't need mittens to drive to work, I can hang up the heavy winter jacket and I can maybe even slip my feet into a pair of open-toe shoes. That, my friends, is the true sign of spring. Maybe some of you are already experiencing some warmer days, or maybe you're lucky to live in a place where it never gets this cold, but I think we can all agree that spring is exciting not just for the weather, but for the FASHION! It's the season of color and flirty fabrics and lovely, lovely sandals. Söfft unveiled some utterly sexy and sultry looks for Spring 2010, including the Palermo - at first glance, this may look like a full-coverage heel but make no mistake about it, this shoe is h-o-t! The super-soft layered suede wraps around your foot, giving you that legs-for-days look that was all over the runway. And the flattering grey color is the perfect neutral to compliment spring's blush tones and bright color palette.

See how well the Palermo takes you from the office to a night out and through the weekend, then hurry up are orders yours today before they are gone...like winter should be!

Söfft Storms Las Vegas

noreply@blogger.com (Haley) — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 13:26:00 +0000

What happens in Vegas usually stays in Vegas, but the Söfft crew had such a good show that I'll break this rule and fill you in! The World Shoes and Accessories show at Mandalay Bay was a success, where Söfft rolled out the newest and hottest designs for Fall 2010.

Each day was filled with talk of shoes, shoes, shoes and each night everyone was full with food from some of the best restaurants in Sin City! WSA even had a special celeb visit from Scrubs star Donald Faison and his girlfriend, Cacee Cobb.

As for the Fall 2010 Collection, that's a secret that will have to stay in Vegas...for now. But in case you find yourself heading to the desert, don't gamble on an uncomfortable pair of shoes that could have you calling it an early night. How hot would these look for a night out?

Best of all, they'll be sure to carry you through whatever adventures you run into. Now those are the kind of secrets that might have to stay in Vegas... ; )
