Trend Report: CLOGS!

It seems to have happened overnight - the humble clog went from your guilty pleasure shoe to hogging the spotlight and strutting down the catwalk in high style. You heard right, clogs are back! Luckily, Söfft has had faith in the clog for a while now, and we've got plenty of cute and fashionable styles to satisfy this current trend. A super-cute shoe that brings you slip-on comfort and now, style? Somebody pinch me!

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... ; )

Söfft Goes to Italy!

It's already time to start gearing up for the new fall line and to get the campaign started, the Söfft team headed to Perugia, Italy for the Söfft Fall 2010 photoshoot! It didn't take long to get used to the friendly people, the beautiful scenerey, and of course, the food. And believe me, the cappuccinos made those early call times all the more bearable. Check out some of the highlights of the trip...

Holiday Trend: Steffi


Every girl needs a pair of black boots; they're the easiest way to keep you looking your most stylish even in the coldest days of winter.  From pants to skirts to dresses, a black knee-high boot will make any outfit sleek and chic.  This Holiday season, the Steffi takes the basic black boot to new style heights in super sexy suede and wrapped in a hot over-sized buckle.  While it may be cold outside, the Steffi is anything but!

Take a holiday stroll and maybe even sing a few carols in gold-flecked plaid and cozy white and red outerwear.
