GUEST BLOGGER: Colby from Moeh Fashion

Thursday, May 2nd, 2013

Moeh Fashion is a personal style blog that documents my fashion, photography, collaborations and inspiration. I started Moeh Fashion as an ongoing portfolio, to keep a record of my projects and fashion sense. It took only a couple of posts to realize how much I enjoyed blogging and since then it’s become my biggest project of all. I currently reside in Long Island, but you can find me running around New York City attending Fashion Institute and working in the garment district!

These sandals are my new favorite shoes for this upcoming spring and summer. With the vast amount of running around that I do, I need something comfortable and I don’t particularly like flats. The ‘Trina‘ pretty much solved my problem by being super cute and having the perfect heel height. I also love the neutral and metallic contrast between the shoe and heel. Gold looks amazing on suntanned skin, which is one of the reasons I love it for the spring and summer months. Nude is also one of my favorite colors for these seasons. There is something simple yet sexy about it that works.

In this post I wore the ‘Trina‘ sandal more casually as I was on the streets of Santa Monica. A light blue button down, leather shorts, and jean jacket was my daytime simple, yet down to earth, look.

The Trina‘ did a great job of tying together the outfit and made my day a comfortable yet stylish one. Thank you Sam Edelman for being so awesome!

Colby Milano of Moeh Fashion is definitely one blogger to watch out for! Growing up right outside NYC with three older sisters, she fell in love with fashion at a very young age. About two years ago, this FIT student (who also works part-time) decided to create her own online portfolio that’s morphed into a showcase of her sartorial successes. Her style is edgy-chic, sexy, and downright cool. Check out her blog, Moeh Fashion, to see how this hardworking fashionista is making her mark in NYC.

Stepping Up Your Staples

Thursday, April 25th, 2013

A great pair of jeans, that perfect white tee, your go-to LBD…there are certain pieces in your closet that are just absolute staples. They are those no-fail wardrobe essentials that you can always rely on to fit well and look great.  While we love the ease and comfort of these wardrobe mainstays, they can, at times, run the risk, of being a bit boring. That is, until you pair them  with a bold, stylish and versatile pair of shoes!

From the workday to girl’s nights out, we’re showing you how to reinvent your wardrobe staples using some our favorite styles from our Spring collection.  
 

Dress for Success
Give your workplace look a promotion with professional pieces in bright styles. We recommend pairing the Reagan pumps with a statement necklace and the Gigi trench coat for a corporate look that will have the boardroom buzzing.
 

Weekend Casual

A great tank and boyfriend jeans serve as the perfect basis to rock some awesome accessories! Let the Linsley Espadrille flats and Loren Mini Moto jacket give a chic and fashionable edge to this weekend casual ensemble.
 

Brunching

Add some standout pieces to the sweet and feminine vibe of a linen sundress for a fun weekend brunch look. We recommend a pair of mirrored sunglasses, the Madaline messenger, and Trey ankle-wrap wedges to give your boring breakfast ensemble a mimosa-ready twist!
 

Ladies Night

A simple black dress is anything but simple with the right accessories! Dance the night away in the embellished Blakely heels with the Blair clutch, and a colorful lip for a sexy look that will make a bold statement in all the right ways.

GUEST BLOGGER: Jess FROM Mint The Blog

Thursday, April 11th, 2013

I’m back… Jess here from Mint The Blog. So happy to be guest blogging for Sam Edelman! This time around we’re talking about the new loves of my life: the Marina - these babies were my go to shoe during LA Fashion Week! The heart shaped detail on the peep toe is super flattering and so classic. The ankle strap is delicate and pretty and the subtle pop of gold fleck detail on the heel is right up my alley as I am a total gold girl; it adds that perfect amount of rock n’ roll!

I wore the Marina‘s with leather pants and a camouflage tank to juxtapose the sophistication of the shoe. I love to mix and match pieces that you wouldn’t normally see together, and the tough look of the camo against the oh-so-feminine vibe of the Marina is my favorite part of this ensemble.

Although, I usually try to not to go overboard with matching, I felt this gold satchel complemented perfectly. An arrowhead necklace and black sunnies with gold detail (more gold, more gold!) added the finishing touches. Throw on a black blazer and this ensemble could easily go from day to night, shopping to concert!

The very versatile Marina’s come in some fantastic shades; the flirty and feminine blush tone, the fiery flamingo and the fresh turquoise. Sorry, couldn’t think of a “T” word for the last one! Tranquil! Done. Well, these black Marina’s have been on such heavy rotation I might just have to get one of each color!   Happy Spring!

It isn’t just the mysterious and frightening plot of Pretty Little Liars that has us tuning in every week; it’s also the show’s amazing sense of style that makes watching PLL such a thrill. From Hanna’s flirty and feminine outfits to Aria’s eclectic punk-rock ensembles, each of the Liars’ has a unique look that captures their distinct personalities perfectly. Named one of the “Most Fashionable Shows of All Time” and “Most Stylish Cast on TV”, it is no surprise that both on and off set, these fashion icons are always seen rocking a pair of Sam Edelman shoes.

Check out some of our favorite fashion moments from the “Outstanding TV Drama,” Pretty Little Liars:

Lucy Hale (Aria Montgomery), shows off her characters edgy sense of style in our ‘Palermo‘ boots and ‘Kendrix‘ booties this season on Pretty Little Liars.

From dinner dates, to errands, and even on Instagram, Ashley Benson, Shay Mitchell, and Lucy Hale can be seen rocking their fringe “Louie booties!

Ashley Benson (Hanna Marin), mixes flirty and fashion-forward in our ‘Pixie’ pump, ‘Wynn’ wedges, and ‘Knox booties on the show this season.

Ashley Benson adds an edge to her casual look in the ‘Beatrix‘ flats; and Lucy not only wore our ‘Danielle‘ pumps at her Nylon Magazine cover party, but even stopped by our Soho store to pick up some new shoes!

A Black and White Issue

Thursday, March 21st, 2013

In the world of fashion, there is no color combination that is more timeless or classically chic than black and white. From reliable everyday pieces to classic formal attire, these contrasting tones have worked harmoniously in our wardrobe for as long as we can remember. Yet, given this history of simple elegance, it’s easy to regard black and white styles as basic and even a bit boring. That is, until this season, when black and white are making a stunning comeback.

Whether making a statement with graphic patterns or polished separates, this season’s styles are giving you a multitude of new ways to let an achromatic palette add instant edge to your style.

Check out how we’re giving basic black and white a fashionable revamp with 3 fun and sexy looks that will be fresh yet classically stylish for many seasons to come!

Casual Stripes: Jordie Studded Trench Coat, Marina Perforated Tote, Gigi Sandal

Short and Sweet: Allie Stiletto, Colette Satchel

GUEST BLOGGER: Jess FROM Mint The Blog

Thursday, February 28th, 2013

Hello! I’m Jess from Mint The Blog! I am a stylist turned designer that loves to share my experiences with styling and my love of fashion through posting my everyday looks on my blog. I am so excited to be guest blogging for Sam Edelman as I have been a fan for many years!

It was love at first sight with these Serena wedges, which could not be more suitable for Spring. Wedges are back in a big way and why not? They add height, and yet are so much more comfortable then a regular high heel- an excellent option for a long day or night on your feet. This nude pair worked perfectly for me, as I am 5’1”. The color blends with my skin tone, giving the illusion that my legs are much longer then they actually are. Oh, the dreams fashion make reality… Thanks for that, Sam Edelman!

The mirror detail on the toe is my favorite part; it makes the shoe so versatile, they could easily go from brunch to a night out. I am also a huge fan of wearing color, so I love a nude shoe since it gives me so many options to play with. I paired these beauties with a plum colored skirt (I am majorly crushing on this plum color at the moment)! Floral will always be a Spring staple so I added this cute floral top that I wore untucked to give a more casual vibe. A subtle detail like that always helps to bring through a bit of personality to a look, and that’s what it’s all about isn’t it? I am looking forward to wearing these Serena‘s all Spring and Summer long!

HEAD OVER HEELS

Friday, February 8th, 2013

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and while this can mean chocolates, flowers and maybe even some sparkly jewelry to some, for us, it’s all about the shoes. No matter whether you’re single, in a relationship, or ‘it’s complicated,’ February 14th is simply the perfect time to bust out those sexy shoes you’ve been auditioning in the mirror and do some hunting with cupid’s arrow. Of course, with so many alluring options in our Spring collection, it’s easy to get caught in a love triangle between two of your favorites, so here are some of our most romance-ready styles.

What better way to show that special someone that you have a heart of gold, than with a pair of gleaming gold snakeskin stilettos, like the Abbott. This elegant but revealing heel is just the right amount of sugar and spice to really turn up the heat. Pair it with a sexy red dress for a flirtatious yet feminine ensemble.

 

 

If you want to be the star in someone else’s sky, you’ll need to shine like it first; and no shoe helps you do this more than the dangerously sexy Reagan. The slim metallic heel of this romantic pump makes a daring couple with its flirty peep toe for a look that is sure to make hearts race.  Pair it with deep red pants, and a sultry lace top for a drop dead gorgeous ensemble.

 

 

If you want to stand out as someone’s valentine, it helps to stand above the competition; which is why we heart the sky-high Mason. This heeled sandal features bold straps, a trendy design and a fashionable platform that will help you kiss the sky or your loving beau.  Rock it with a form-fitting black dress, romance inspired jewelry, and our Adele jacket for an adorable contrast of sweet and sexy.

Style Boost: The Tucker Boot

Friday, January 4th, 2013

Though many footwear trends seem to just come and go, there is one timeless silhouette that has clearly stood the test of time: the high black boot. Luxe, sophisticated, and endlessly versatile, this cold-weather essential has the ability to give just about any outfit an ultrachic boost.

Our version of the high black boot is no exception. With its slick leather finish and knee-high shaft, the “Tucker” boot enhances your style and elongates your legs, making your workday to weekend ensemble look sexy and polished.

Check out some different ways that we’ve styled the “Tucker” to give your basic winter looks a dose of dangerous chic.

City Slicker
Pair tie-dye jeans and an oversized sweater with these sleek platform boots to give your comfy-cool outfit a bit of attitude. Finish it off with a faux-fur vest, our “Oriana” crossbody, and funky jewelry for the ultimate rocker-luxe look.

Go-Go Girly
Play with proportions by balancing a long-sleeved mini dress with the Tucker’s knee-high silhouette. Add some intrigue to the ensemble with patterned tights and the “Adele” studded collar jacket.

Work It
For a professional and polished look, slip on the Tucker after layering a fitted blazer and our “Giselle” tote bag over a sheath dress and opaque stockings.

Have a more casual office? Swap the dress for formal pants, a fun tee, and our “Dakota” crossbody bag.

Now that we’ve showed you some different ways that we wear the Tucker, slip your feet into a pair of your own, and show us how you style these undeniably chic footwear staples on FacebookTwitter, and Instagram!
