Shoe Crew, Vegas Style: Miz Mooz!
Well hello!
The shoe crew is back from our whirlwind trip to Las Vegas, and we are all Viva-d out. But we managed to pick out a ton of new goodies for you, and caught videos of as much as we could in the process (perhaps next time, we’ll get an interview with the elusive Jeffrey Campbell!)We had a lot of fun, and wanted to show you a few of the shoes and boots you have to look forward to next fall,* but then we got camera shy, and made our reps and designers do it for you! They did real, real good!
Thanks to everyone for putting up with our cameras in their face, we hope you like what we put together (and please pardon all the background noise, it was a very crackin’ trade show this time around… and every other time. Ever.)
First up, the lovely Cheryl with Miz Mooz:

We look forward to the Lance bootie coming in soon! Manifesto is getting the sand and the indigo one-yum!
Stay tuned for more noisy vids from our shoe hunt!
xoxo,

New Arrivals!
What’s a rent check?
They’re baaaaack!
Miz Mooz Bonnie Boot, $198
It may be ironic…
That the name of our latest addition is “Brite.” This tonal grey menswear-inspired shoe came in today via Miz Mooz, and I think I’m in love! This is a great shoe to pair with sundresses and shorts now, and then with jeans and sweaters in the fall!
And since they are such a subtle nod to the 1950s saddle shoes, you can totally play them up with vintage dresses, or make them super modern with a pegged trouser and oversized blouse.
But enough of me and my imagination! How would you wear the “Brite?”
Get Naked.
But first, get your mind out of the gutter! We’re talking nude here, people. As in, the color of the season! The other day we were talking about dressing in the same color from head to toe, and awhile back we declared that wearing a shoe close in color to your skin tone will elongate your legs. With all the possibilities already swirling in my mind, I run across this babe on a street style blog yesterday:
And I was simply inspired. What a chic, sexy look! I absolutely love the way this gal combined tonal shades of nude, and I can’t wait to try it myself (now where do I get an amazing camel coat like this one?)
Here are a few pieces to help motivate you too:
1. 645, Christopher Kon
2. 336 T-Strap Sky High Clog, Swedish Hasbeens
3. Jamin, Sanita
4. Acrea, Tsubo
5. Guthrie, Miz Mooz
6. Naomi, Miz Mooz
7. 432 Peep Toe Super High Clog, Swedish Hasbeens
Have a very naked spring!
Rapture Survival Guide (this is only a test.)
Whelp, we either all survived The Rapture or there simply wasn’t one. Oh, oops, it’s actually in October, says Rasputin that same guy who said it was May 21. The good news is, now we have plenty of time to prepare before we embarrass ourselves like last time.
Surely those left on this here planet would appreciate the irony of a t-shirt proclaiming “I survived The Rapture and all I got was this crappy shirt,” but if you’d prefer to rock your own look, be sure and adapt it to the ways of the new world.
Comfort, of course, is the most important thing. And the ability to withstand the elements: scorching hot temperatures, zombies, who knows really? You gotta be prepared.
Here is a handy shortlist from someone who knows*:
Firstly, make sure you have a hat to protect yourself from the elements. Light scarves will also help in that respect: they can keep you warm, protect you from the sun, be used as bandages, ropes, blankets, or makeshift shelter. Who knows what the future holds? Could be the best $20 you ever spent!
I also recommend a sturdy bag (cross body is a must!) plus a watch so you know when to cast your eye to the sky (or afterwards, when the apocalypse has rendered cell phones useless and you need to know what time Glee is on.) And as fair warning, get yourself some post earrings, so the zombies have one less thing to grab on to.
And just to state the obvious, you ought to get yourself some comfy shoes, just in case you have to run for your life, or the spaceship, or… something. Remember those Heaven’s Gate people and their sweet new Nikes? They had the right idea!
If the armageddon has your style stumped, we’d love to help you out! Shoot an email to sally@pedxshoes.com!
Till next time (if there is one,)
