TRIPPEN POST!

Wow guys, we just received some Trippen shoes for spring and they are AWESOME. We snapped a few pictures of Libby modeling the Magnolia, the Leaf in stone, and the Well. For you Trippen fans out there, these are must-have items for your collection. For those of you who have never tried Trippens before, this brand is known for its funky, architectural shapes, hand-tooled leather, and unbelievable comfort. Let us know what you think! Enjoy!


Libby wears the Well by Trippen. Made from fire engine red leather, this strappy sandal has a low wedge, a small metal clasp, and a closed heel for extra comfort. This shoe also has the signature Trippen "cross" shaped rubber sole. So adorable.

Trippen shoes are made in Germany by master craftsmen.

Well by Trippen
$289



Libby is seen here wearing the Magnolia style. This is a whimsical demi-sandal made for spring! We love that the modified flat isn't completely bare, so it definitely safe for more formal wear. This shoe features an ankle strap with an adjustable metal clasp, and leather detailing at the toe. Very cute.

$289


Libby is seen here wearing the Leaf in stone. This modified flat is open enough to be worn in warm weather without being too dressed down. We love the thick ankle strap and leaf-shaped cutaway center. The sole is made from molded rubber in the traditional Trippen "cross" shape.

SPRING TOMS (shhh, sneak peek)

Hello, all!

We were so excited about the new TOMS coming in that we just had to give you a little preview. Emma is modeling two new styles, the Corbel and Freetown in fuschia! We'll be getting many more styles in at both (shoo) locations very soon (including the long-awaited TOMS flats), but these are the first to hit our shelves. Take a look!


Even more vibrant in person, the Corbel is a fantastic flat to liven up your spring and summer wardrobe. We love Emma's bright yellow top with the flowery print.

TOMS Corbel
$54



The Freetown is available in both fuschia and black. The material is stretchy, and punched with tiny perforations to keep you breezy and comfortable. A cute and practical flat for all of your warm weather activities!

Jeffrey Campbell for Spring!

Hey guys!

For starters, we can FINALLY start talking about Spring! I know, I know, we might be jumping the gun a little, but (shoo) has just received some beautiful new styles for the season. This blog post features a few new looks from the fabulous Jeffrey Campbell. We love that these styles can be dressed up or down (for Valentine's Day dates hint, hint) and they will carry you all the way from tights-weather to bare legs. Neutrals are in for Spring, and luckily they work with just about anything.



Sherry
$129

The Sherry is a gladiator-inspired sandal with strappy cut-outs and black patent-leather detailing. The shoe features a sling-back style with chunky, 3 inch heel. Available at Madison and Milwaukee locations, and online.


Trudee
$109

The Trudee is a sassy update on a very classic wedge. The slick, patent-leather outer is chic and unique. Features a 2.5 inch heel and adjustable ankle strap. Available at Milwaukee and Madison locations, and online.


Apollo
$129

This is a funky, architectural heel in neutral tones, so it's actually quite versatile. Cheeky cut-outs along the body of the shoe, a peep toe, and patent-leather details complete the look. Available at Madison and Milwaukee (shoo) stores, and online.

1911 Collection by h(om)e


Hey guys! We just got in some really interesting pieces by Milwaukee brand (h(om)e). You might recognize the name from their awesome wallet and purse lines, but they've now expanded into clothing! We were lucky enough to grab some blouses and dresses in a number of colors and designs. Each handmade piece is designed to be worn several ways (and special clips to pin them are included), so not only are you wearing a completely unique item, but you can also switch it up and wear it however you want. Here at (shoo) we love the idea of getting extra miles out of something fabulous.

TRIPPEN POST!


Easily one of the the most unique brands featured at (shoo), Trippen offers an architectural take on fall and winter shoes. Libby and Maya model some of our choice picks this season that feature organic shapes, soft leathers, and interesting textures. The boots and booties featured below are handcrafted in Germany.



Libby (left) wears the Trippen Tweed, and Maya wears the Trippen Flair.


The Trippen Tweed (left) ankle bootie features unique black woven netting over the top of the shoe, and a raised rubber sole for lift and comfort. The Flair (right) has an asymmetrical fold over the shoe to lengthen the leg, and a side zipper for easy off-and-on.



Libby wears the Trippen River boot in black leather. This mid-calf boot is accented with raw seams, loose leather at the top, a thick structured sole, and a side zipper.

Above, Libby wears the Trippen Wind. A nice accompaniment to the River, this mid-calf shoe is made of soft, mottled gray leather and features diagonal raw seams up the shaft of the boot. Sophisticated with a bit of fun, the Wind is the perfect boot for those looking for something different this season.


From this photo, you can see the Wind's raised detailing, signature Trippen sole, and full-length zipper.
