(Shoo)'s Gone Vintage!

(Shoo) Madison has gone vintage! We are now featuring a vintage collection in our newly re-modeled basement, featuring tons of fun cardigans, sweater dresses, and jackets for winter. Stop in and check it out!

Maria channels her inner fashionista in this brown tweed jacket and gold knee-length dress. We love that this jacket can be dressed-up or dressed-down, an essential piece for any woman's closet this season. (Shoo) has a wide selection of jackets in our new vintage collection, both for outdoor use or business wear.

Above, Maria gets cozy in this belted sweater dress, paired with our Frances shoe by Miss L-Fire. This stylish piece, with a 1980's feel, is great paired with funky tights this winter or statement heels for a night out.

Maria shows off another unique piece here, in this 1970's tennis-style dress. Slip on this dress and you're ready to channel your inner 70's housewife. We love this piece with low heels for a lunch date or an afternoon stroll through downtown.

Undoubtedly a favorite, this vintage piece is sure to be a head turner. The embroidered top brings color and flair to the dress, while the bow makes it flirty and cute. We also love this dress with a great pair of tights in the winter or worn by itself on warmer summer days.

Do you Dare to wear Menswear?

Want to try a little role-reversal this fall? We loved dressing up in these stylish oxford-esque heels. Although inspired by the traditional dress shoes for men, these shoes feature some flirty twists like ribbon lace-ups and subtle detailing to make them perfect for the girls!

Jen is ready for the office in her vintage coat our Fish Tie heels by All Black. You'll love the funky scale-like texture of the gray leather paired with the shiny black toe and heel.

A favorite of ours here at shoo, here is Schoolgirl by Poetic Licence. The classic tan and black leather of this sophisticated heel is accented by gold piping and flirty ribbon laces.


Jen rocks Backlash by Poetic Licence. Here is another fun twist on the classic oxford that is sure to turn heads! This great black heel features subtle purple scallop detailing and silvery grey ribbon laces for a feminine touch.

What's cuter than this black and white pump with a removable bow?! Miss L Fire does it again with the prim and proper Frances heel.

Release your masculine side with these chich oxford-inspired shoes! Made for women, these chic shoes have the classic cut and stitching and just like the boys! Maria is wearing Lara by Hudson.

Step into these Charlie shoes by Hudson and see why the men love their oxfords! Super comfortable and durable, you'll never want to take them off!

Mad, for Mad Men Inspired Shoes

The popular TV show Mad Men has taken viewers back to the 1960's advertising world in New York. The (shoo) world has been influenced by the show's aesthetic. AMC describes the series as, " sexy, stylized, and provacative," and our latest arrivals are just that!

Above, Pat channels his inner Don Draper wearing these throw-back oxfords. John Fluevog CBC is a classic brown leather oxford, but the aqua laces give these shoes a modern twist that will surely turn heads at the office or while walking down State Street.

The classic oxford look continues with J Shoes Duel. Toe cap detailing. Charcoal leather. Only one word comes to mind: sleek.

And now onto the ladies . . .

Starting on the left we have Mollie Johnson by John Fluevog, Frances by Miss L-Fire, and Flourish by J Shoes

In the photo above, Jen wears Flourish by J-Shoes. This sexy black leather pump features button detailing and a combination of patent and matte leather finishes. Whereas Mad Men has all the drama in the office, our Mad Men insipred shoes, including Flourish, ensure that all the drama is on your feet instead.

Lauren wears Frances, by Miss L Fire. This spectator inspired pump has black and white leather and an amazingly adorable removable bow clip that allows you to change up the look of the shoe. Wear the shoe clip during the day for a lady-like and professional look; then, remove the clip to transform the shoe into a sexy pump for a post-work cocktail.

Finally, Jen shows off John Fluevog's Mollie Johnson. This vintage, Mad Men inspired lace-up mary-jane pump is perfect for channeling your inner Betty, Peggy, or favorite pin-up girl.

If you catch the Mad Men itch this fall, stop in to (shoo) to complete your hip and sophisticated vintage inspired wardrobe.

New Miss L Fire

We have some darling new shoes from Miss L Fire at (shoo)! Miss L Fire is a London-based company known for creating shoes with a funky retro vibe, fun patterns and bright colors and our new selection definitely does not disappoint.

First we have Alisha, a super sweet lemon yellow leather t-strap peep-toe pump with a suede flower on the toe. These will be great with jeans, skirts and dresses when you want to add a pop of color.

Hello Sailor, indeed! This shoe’s ultra nautical feel, complemented by a gold anchor detail on the removable rosette and gold rope trim along the shoe make it a summer necessity! We can see these being a serious hit this summer at 4th of July parties, BBQs, and sporting events.

Next is Nadia, a kelly green woven wedge featuring a dainty peep-toe & Miss L-Fire's signature pineapple wedge. The breathable woven fabric of these allows the shoes to be very comfortable and great for warm weather.
Our flirty Dollie has a navy polka dot woven upper sitting beautifully on a high pineapple wedge. The detachable flower gives this shoe a versatile & feminine feel perfect for day or night.

The Martha will help you dress up any summer outfit with its navy & yellow low wedge heel peep-toe style! These two toned, flower print wedges will add a thrill to any soft summer dress ensemble.

Finally, slip your tootsies into the show-stopping Del Rio and tap their attention-grabbing wooden heels in time with the music! The woven upper has multi color stitching and pink rosettes, scalloped edges and an ankle strap with a peach buckle that will allow you to dance the night away in style.

Miss L-Fire Palm Springs

Can we talk about how darn cute these sassy lil numbers are? I love these adorable shoes from Miss L-Fire! The Palm Springs is a cute little wedge with a 1" heel & has an ankle strap. Made from white retro-inspired with fun colored polka dots, this summery shoe makes me SO happy. Accented with a metallic red leather & a white bow at the toe-box, this shoe is reminiscent of a shoe my Grandmother - Mavis would wear! Every time I wear it, I think of her. Come to think about it, all my vintage accessories, that I am wearing with these cute shoes, were hers. Thanks Miss L-Fire & thanks Mavis for making me cute today!

Miss L-Fire Shoes

Miss L-Fire shoes are seriously the best things since sliced bread! Lindsey Hand is a designer out of London & creates shoes with a Fifties Americana vibe. Her retro styles are so darling, fashionable, & comfortable! This is a new line for (shoo) this spring, & it has been GREAT! I have loved each & every style I have gotten in. The shoe pictured here is called the Miss L-Fire Snow White, which is a black 2 piece wedge style with an acrylic pineapple heel reminiscent of the box purses from the fifties. There is a cute leather pom-pom on the toe-box of the pump, which gives it such a beautiful look. This shoe is only $169! Every time I wear it, I feel like I am truly a pin-up girl - it is SO cute! It is also surprisingly, VERY comfortable! I can wear it all day without any pain, & for a 4 " heel - that's pretty darn good!

The stockings pictured with the Snow White are a new line of hosiery & socks that (shoo) is now carrying called Falke. Falke is a family owned corporation out of Germany that was founded in 1895, & is still run today by the 4th generation. This German based company continually exhibit high quality and elegance in their products. You can trust these products to not just last but to provide you with sleek comfort and style. The hosiery I am wearing, is called the Falke Gardner, which is sheer on the front on the leg with a thicker opaque panel on the back. They have the appearance of a delicate lace trim running the full length of the leg. I wore these the other day & literally placed orders off my legs. At $59, no one balked - because they are truly sexy, elegant & made a statement! I am getting more of these babies in this week, & have a huge assortment coming in for fall!

The other styles to check out are the Miss L-Fire Racket, which is the cutest wedge slingback peep toe! This shoe is made with a red, white, yellow, & blue retro fabric that will go with any vintage dress. I wear them all the time! They are crazy comfy & super inexpensive at $89 - you cant beat that! The other shoe, which I also own, is called the Miss L-Fire Palm Springs. This sweet shoe is a low wedge in a white, red, light blue & pink polka dot fabric that is also very comfortable & looks great with vintage dresses! & at $79- that is a steal for such cuteness! I love this new line & I am VERY excited for the fall product to come in - which will be here in late July! I LOVE Miss L-Fire!
