Spring 2013: Balancing Act

Thursday, January 24th, 2013

They say that when it comes to relationships, ‘opposites attract’. While this may or may not be true for matters of the heart, it is definitely true for matters of the sole. Take, for example, our new spring collection. In every new style we’ve brought together inspirations from both sides of the spectrum to revamp our favorite trends with a completely new look. From 50’s retro with a futuristic update, to animal prints with a sporty edge, our spring styles seamlessly meld contrasting aesthetics in an unexpected but stylish marriage.

Check out some examples of opposites attracting in our new Spring collection.

 

Flash Forward

Sleek mirrored metallics stand out against soft pastels. It’s David Bowie meets Brigitte Bardot in this modern take on minimalism.

Tribe Vibe

The reoccurring bohemian trend tells an entirely new story with a mixture of eye-catching global–inspired designs and traditional handcrafted detailing.

Luxe Warrior

Goddesses adorned with bold gold jewelry meld with warriors dressed in exotic skins to lend the jungle look an unexpected elegance.

Retro Americana

Candy-colored pastels flirt with distressed vintage western to give 50’s femininity a soft, yet rugged edge.

Game Theory

Game-ready sportswear gets glammed-up in high fashion details scoring some major style points.

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.

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.

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.

Going Wild With Animal Print

Thursday, November 29th, 2012

Wild and chic with a touch of classic elegance, animal prints are making a major fashion comeback. Whether they’re in natural hues or accented with a stylish tonal update, these jungle-inspired patterns are working their way back into our wardrobes as the ‘new’ neutral. Whether spicing up some textured pants or finishing off some embellished booties, animal prints have a unique ability to adapt to their surroundings and complement any ensemble. 

This unexpected neutrality is why our latest collection of shoes, handbags, and outerwear goes way past out signature snakeskin to feature more of the exotic animal prints you love. Here are some of the dangerously sexy looks we’ve created to help you take a walk on the wild side:

Make an exotic style statement in the sleek snake-print “Serephina“ boot. This knee-high silhouette provides the perfect heel to make sure you look ferocious while still keeping comfortable. Complete this bold everyday ensemble with a pair of skinny jeans, an oversized sweater, and the boho-chic “Vintage Loren” crossbody.

Venture through the concrete jungle in the leopard “Beatrix” captoe flat. This edgy ballet functions like an everyday essential, but its fierce punk details give it an unexpected high-fashion flair. Pair it with colored jeans, our military-inspired “Asymmetrical Wrap Coat” and the snakeskin embossed “Knox Satchel” to finish off your casual-cool style

Give your classic pointed-toe pumps an exotic update with the snakeskin embossed “Danielle”. Whether in the office or on the dance floor, this fierce chic metal-heeled stiletto is right at home in any habitat. Wear these dangerous pumps with a sheath dress for work, or with boyfriend jeans for a laidback but sexy weekend look. Finish off either ensemble in our edgy, yet sophisticated “Double Breasted Wool Jacket” and the sassy “Genevieve Tote”.

Sam’s Game Day Style Playbook

Thursday, October 11th, 2012

Whether you’re tailgating with friends or just hitting up the local sports bar, catching a football game is great chance to stylishly flaunt your team colors with a sporty yet fashionable outfit. Of course, dressing for the big game can be tricky given the unpredictable weather and style conditions of every football climate. So if you’re planning on taking in some pigskin this season, it’s time to huddle up, because we’ve created some game day looks that will let you show off your team spirit no matter which city you call home.

New York

The big apple is a city divided when it comes to football; which means your game day attire really depends on whether you support Gang Green or the G-Men. If you’re a Giants fan, we recommend sporting a pair of red Lisle boots with a striped sweater, boyfriend jeans, and knit beanie.  Finish the look with the Quilted Leather Moto Jacket and Hugo Messenger for a game day ensemble that’s ideal for crowds and stadium seating.

If you’re a Jets fan, your game day look should kick off with the stacked heel Perry in Putty. Team this bootie with some skinny jeans, a color blocked sweater and our Convertible Jacket in Olive for a versatile game day outfit. For an extra point of style, tie it all together with a pair of fingerless gloves and our Signature Snake Crossbody bag.

 

Chicago

With cool breezes from the Great Lakes sweeping through the streets, the Windy City definitely lives up to its reputation. These conditions mean your game day attire needs to stand up to the cool and breezy elements if you’re going to cheer on the Monsters of the Midway. We recommend audibling to a pair of orange jeans, a navy sweater, and some winter-ready accessories. Tie the whole look together with a pair of the sleek Penny riding boots and the Vintage Loren Crossbody bag. If you’re hitting up Solider Field, you may want to bundle even more in the Hooded Puffer Coat so you can stay chic and toasty while rooting on ‘Da Bears.’ 

 

Miami

If you’re planning on cheering on ‘the fish,’ you better get ready for a sun soaked afternoon. With high temperatures hitting the south Florida field all year round, we’re keeping it cool in bright aqua cutoffs and a loose fitting tank. Then, add a bit of Miami heat to your game day style with the Sebastian loafer in orange and exotic leopard, and the Chantal pouchette in coral. Fins up!

 

Dallas

There are few places better for showing off your true Big D spirit than at a Cowboys game. Channel your inner cowgirl by pairing the Stevie boots, with some Lone-Star wash cutoffs, a white tank, and (you guessed it) a cowboy hat. Finish off the look with some blue sunglasses and the Georgiana Fringe Crossbody for one Texas look that nobody could mess with.

What NFL team do you root for and how do you keep it game day chic in your Sam Edelman shoes?  Let us know on Twitter, or show us on Pose, Instagram or Facebook.
