Stepping Back: A look at the Unforgettable Moments of 2012

Thursday, December 20th, 2012

We’re just a few days away from counting down to midnight and popping the champagne, and while New Years is a great time to flaunt those dazzling sparkly heels you just bought, it’s also a perfect time to reflect. As we look back on 2012, here are some of the highlights that made the past 365 such an amazing ride for us.

 

Head-to-Toe Style
This summer we expanded on our collection by introducing two new categories of products: handbags and outerwear. These new lines build upon our signature trend-driven aesthetic to give the ‘Sam Girl’ even more ways to bring style and attitude to her everyday ensembles.

 

The Doors Open
On October 27, we cut the ribbon on our first brick-and-mortar retail store in SoHo. Designed by famed architect, David Mann, our New York City Flagship has the ambiance and essence of a lavishly chic New York City apartment. It is a place where our customers can go to feel comfortable and stylish while shopping our hot new line of shoes, bags, outerwear and more.

 

‘Brand of the Year’
On November 27, Footwear News awarded us the esteemed recognition of ‘Brand of the Year’. The prestigious honor was bestowed at the 26th annual Footwear News Achievement Awards held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. It was a truly magical and humbling evening.

 

Welcome to The Circus
This Fall, we launched our new, junior-minded collection, Circus by Sam Edelman. This vivacious new line brings our edginess to a whole new generation, with each new style being equal parts high-fashion and equal parts no-nonsense rebellion.

 

The Return of ‘Sam and Libby’
In November 2012, we returned to our roots in a sense with the re-launch of ‘Sam & Libby,’ the line that started it all. Through an exclusive partnership with Target, the revamped brand is set to hit stores May 5, 2013, featuring 20 styles that aim to elevate contemporary footwear with designer fashion details.

 

2012 was truly a momentous and exciting year for us, and 2013 is shaping up to be even better. What exciting moments shaped and influenced you this year? Share your 2012 reflections with us on FacebookTwitter, or Instagram using #SE2012memories.

Holiday treats for stylish feet

Thursday, December 6th, 2012

The holidays are upon us, which means tis’ the season for joy, presents and, perhaps most importantly, holiday parties. Whether you’re with family, friends, or coworkers, it seems there is always an excuse to pair some dangerously sexy shoes with a dangerously ugly sweater and cut loose. Of course, no matter how holiday chic your outfit may be, to truly be the life of the party, you need to also come bearing some tasty treats. While any old diva can pick something up a store, it takes a true holiday party rock star to not only make something from scratch, but also make something that matches perfectly with their new Sam Edelman shoes.

If you’re feeling up for the challenge, here are 3 delicious pairings that will have you holiday ready from feet to treat:

Velvety Bliss
Pump up your party look in the velvety rich “Alexa” peep-toes. With its sumptuous and vibrant style, this flirtatious platform will have you glowing with confidence and holiday cheer. And what better way to make the Alexa’s opulent red suede “pop” than with some irresistibly delicious Red Velvet Cake Pops.

 

Sugar & Spice
Give your classic party look a touch of sweet and spicy in the western-inspired “Sidney” bootie. With distressed leather fringe and playful metallic details, this whiskey-brown bootie just feels right when worn around the fireplace with family and friends. Complete the holiday experience by treating your loved ones to another sweet and spicy treat such as Gingerbread Cupcakes and Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting.

 

Snowflake Sparkle
Add a touch of naughty and nice to your holiday style in the “Pryce” pump. With its silk straps and shiny edgy embellishments, this sexy platform ignites your look with touch of glitz and glamour. Complement your spotlight-stealing sparkle with a glittery dessert such as the Snowflake Sparkle Cookies.
