The Anatomy Of A Shoe: The LUELLA

Thursday, September 27th, 2012

Fringe is one of our favorite fall trends, and the Luella knee-high does it just right. This boho chic boot is adorned with contemporary details that give this old west style some new school cool. Here are 5 reasons why we’re kicking it cowboy chic in the Luella this season:

1. Texas Fold’em- A versatile split cuff lets you adjust the height and style of the Luella with just one fold.

2. On The Fringe - Playful fringe trimming trails down the side offering the Luella a fun and flirty accent.

3. StackedUp!- A stacked heel gives enough boost to keep you confident and comfortable from day to night.

4. Naturally Soft- Calf leather suede adds suppleness and elegance to the Luella’s decorative details.

5. Zip It! - A partial side zip helps get you saddled up into the Luella quickly and easily.

 

 

Now that we’ve rounded up all the details, its time to pick which color Luella you’ll be lassoing up for your wardrobe this fall.

Shake Your Bootie

Thursday, September 13th, 2012

From python prints to sultry straps, this season is all about ankle boots. This shoe rack staple is not only stylish and comfortable, but also extremely versatile, and can be worn with anything from skinny jeans to pleated skirts. (It also doesn’t hurt that they make your legs look long and sexy.) Whatever the reason, it’s easy to see why ankle boots are some of the most crave-worthy styles out right now; which is why our collection takes the ankle boot to new heights with unexpected embellishments, bold colors, and luxe textures. Here are some booties from our fall collection that will have you keeping it short all season long.

Flaunt your country-girl glam in the metallic, cowboy inspired “Stevie.” This boot features western stitching and reptilian details that take your style from rodeo to the runway. Saddle up into the “Stevie” to add some wild west flair to skinny jeans and a fitted blazer.

With a slightly stacked heel and exotic-embossed surface, the “Petty” makes a simple, yet sophisticated statement with any outfit.  Available in a variety of suede hues and animal prints, the “Petty” is the perfect bootie to pair with cutoffs, stockings, and a button-down blouse.

Leather straps dominate the banana-heeled “Kendrix”. This fierce bootie gets its unique edginess from contrasting suede and a belted buckle that give it some genuine contemporary flair. The hidden platform heel means you can dance the night without sacrificing comfort for style.

Take a walk on the wild side in the “Salina” and her twin sister the “Salina 2”. Two of our favorite paneled silhouettes, these posh booties get a boost of sass and class from their bold textures and exotic prints. Pair with boyfriend jeans, a cute top and a leather jacket for casual and cool downtown-chic look.

 Check out all of our amazing ankle boots from the Fall Collection, and let us know which bootie you’ll be calling this fall.

Campus Chic: Our Back To School Fashion Guide

Thursday, September 6th, 2012

It’s that (dreadful) time of year again, when you have to trade in your bikinis and beaches for backpacks and bookstores. Of course, heading back to school is not all bad. It gives you a chance to refresh your wardrobe and test out some fall looks you’ve been reading about while working on your tan for the past few weeks. From the classroom to the dorm room (and everything in between), we’re showing you how to ace this semester with some favorites from our Fall Collection.

For  Studying…

Prove you’re too cool for school cool in the “Aster” smoking slipper. This fun yet elegant style flaunts leopard print and a silver cap-toe helping you transform your library look from sloppy to stylish. Pair it with your favorite jeans, a lightweight hoodie, and our fashionable-yet functional contrast jacket. Bring it all together with some silver accessories and a punchy, practical bag like the “Marianne” hobo, and there’s no doubt you’ll be the belle of the stacks.

For Class…

The “Petty” adds style to any outfit in this seasons’ go-to silhouette. With a low heel and vibrant hue, this versatile bootie will keep you comfortable and confident from campus to classroom. Complete the look with a peplum top, striped skirt, and a classy coat like our “Belted Trench.”  Add the “Slick Biker Felix Messenger” bag for an edgy yet sophisticated look that will definitely earn you some extra credit.

For Going Out…

Dominate the dance floor in one of this fall’s hottest heels, the “Evan.”  This sexy snakeskin pump with studded corset details pairs perfectly with any color and texture (even your black sequin mini) for a classy yet flirty nighttime look. Add some fun accessories, like a sweetheart ring and the “Holmby” clutch for a glamour-girl style that will make you sparkle in the spotlight.

Now that you’ve done your homework, its time to put your scholarly style to the test! Educate us with the outfits you’ll be rocking back to school this year on Twitter: (@SamEdelmanShoes), Facebook, Instagram:@Sam_Edelman, and/or Pose.
