Trend Report: Sabatina

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

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

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!

Trend Report: Filia

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

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


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... ; )
