Fall & Holiday Faves

Day after day, the Moxie Girls chatter about how fabulous it is, how it fits, what makes it special and why you (and we) just need it! Any time is a great time to discuss our faves!

Karen rocks this Red Valentino patent pump! She loves it because it
"looks like a couture shoe at a contemporary price point.
It elevates any outfit
to literal new heights!"
~

Kristen says Joie "Lennon"
"adds edge to any look
and goes with everything from skirts and dresses to skinny jeans with a tee and leather jacket." 
~

Kaylie can't get over the special sparkle on B Brian Atwood "Avignon," which she refers to as
*S t a r d u s t.*
 "This flat is comfortable and sophisticated at the time time, which is not an easy combination to find! Most customers are surprised when they slip on this beauty... and you can never go wrong with black and gold."
~

Ariel goes gaga for glitter when it comes to this Red Valentino "Glitter Oxford."
 "Glitter and velvet laces turn this traditional menswear staple into something fun, flirty, and feminine. This shoe is perfect to add a little *sparkle* to holiday outfits this season!"
~

Liz loves the Red Valentino "Chain Ballerina" because it's
"great to dress up any fall or winter outfit. Whether I'm walking around town or making the rounds on my holiday party circuit, this flat is
sassy and classically cute."
~

Molly couldn't live without Tory Burch "Calista" (and neither could a few of the other Moxie Girls!) She describes it as
 "a classic equestrian style boot that's an 
instant eye catcher.
It adds an element of sophistication and elegance to any outfit and will be in my wardrobe forever!"
 ~

Lisa loves the Tory Burch "Elina" bootie, because
"it's the perfect chic every day bootie. It has a perfect heel height!"
 ~
We hope our selections have inspired you! Nothing makes us happier than when our favorite styles get some love (and get some new homes.) What is your favorite style in Moxie right now? What are you lusting for? What have you bought recently that you can't imagine your life without? No matter what your style is, we know the feeling!

Moxie Wellesley Clothing Launch Party


 "In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different" - Coco Chanel

 After years of dreaming about it, we have finally done it!  Yes friends Moxie is now a shoe, bag, accessories and clothing store. This Fall we launched a curated clothing collection in our Wellesley store.  The lines and styles we've chosen reflect the Moxie aesthetic and attitude - modern, fresh, incredibly wearable yet utterly stylish.  We mix fabrics, we mix colors and we mix pricepoints.  We work with you to create looks that stand on their own and work with what you already have.  With our new additions we truly dress you from the ground up.  Enjoy some photos from our party and stay tuned for new product pictures.

No celebration is complete without Winston's Flowers!

Bow Toes

As is obvious to friends and strangers alike, I LOVE a bow! Bows are classic, feminine, and they just make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. I was tickled when my coworker Ariel pointed out the plethora of "bow toes" on our shelvs right now! Bows are being worn in a huge way this fall, and we're seeing the trend continue into future seasons on our buying trips. As Karen says, "everyone's toes should feel pretty!" Here is a collage of some of our bow-toes, the ultimate feminine design element.

The Power of Accessories

At Moxie we truly believe in the power of accessories! Some of our friends don't understand our bursting closets full of different shoes, handbags, and jewelry, but we don't understand closets full of dresses mostly worn only once or twice! We realize the desire for a new outfit every time you have an event (we are female after all), but we'd love to show you ways to wear what you have, save some cash by eliminating that unnecessary new dress, and use accessories to your advantage.

We're willing to bet you already have this (of some version of this) LBD. It can look like a thousand different outfits depending on how you style it. We promise your crew will never know you wore it to your last get-together. Here is one dress, worn 4 different ways.

Clockwise from bottom left: Rachel Zoe "Laura" flats, Gerard Yosca bangles, Rebecca Minkoff "Mini MAC" clutch, Marcia Moran earrings, Chan Luu earrings, RED Valentino ruffled clutch, Alice & Olicia "Juliet" wedges.

Go from day to night by simply swapping your accessories!

Clockwise from bottom left: Delman "Falon" flats, Gerard Yosca necklace, Tory Burch clutch, Rachel Zoe clutch, Mickey Lynn bracelets, Gerard Yosca ring, Bettye Muller "Katy" wedges.

Step up before you step out!

Give us a call if you see something you love! All the accessories above are available at our store. Happy Summer!



XOXO,
Kaylie

Color Pop!



Spring is here and we are craving color!  Our stores are filled to the brim with sandals, jewelry, handbags and more that will make your outfits pop. 

Not sure how to incorporate color into your winter-weary wardrobe?  Here are some easy, affordable ideas:
  • Throw a whimsical scarf over your basic tees and sweaters to brighten your look.  Or tie one onto your basic black bag to be spring-chic!  (scarf shown here: $35)
  • Pair your capris, leggings and skinny jeans with a fun jelly sandal.  These new color combos from Jack Rogers make us smile.  They are perfect for a casual day around town or a day on the beach.  Water-proof, stylish and only $68!
  • Adorn your soon-to-be-tanned arms with gorgeous bangle bracelets.  These enamel options from Gerard Yosca are a piece of art!  Wear one alone or pair it with other pieces in your jewelry drawer.  However you wear them you will make a statement.  ($100 each).

Current Collection Facebook Album

(As we experienced often this past holiday season), we know some of our awesome customers who live in different cities and states across the country are sometimes bummed that our website isn't set up to shop or see our full collection. That's why Karen, Kristen, Kaylie and Kaitlin got together at our last management meeting and decided to make a bigger effort to keep our loyal custies informed of our current collection via posting complete albums on Facebook! Check out our very first complete album- it highlights our shoes from the tail end of Holiday/Resort through our newest arrivals for Spring.

We're still a little ways away from e-commerce but luckily it's very easy to call either one of our stores where the Moxie Girls will be glad to check on size and availability of your faves. As far as jewely and accessories go, we'll be sure to highlight our best sellers and new arrivals but there might be just a FEW too many stackable rings and hair clips to keep up!!! That's when you can call (617.557.9991 / 781.235.1833) or e-mail any of us (our first name@moxieboston.com) with what you're looking for. We love texting and e-mailing pics to you!

For now, here's a pic of MY favorite shoe from the resort season:
Tory Burch "Fabian" $195

Kristen's Favorite Winter Trends

B l a c k  and  G o l d

Classic meets edgy with Brian Atwood’s stunning black and gold pump.
Rebecca Minkoff “Swing” bag $395, B by Brian Atwood “Frederique” black suede pumps w/ gold detail $325, Black and gold enamel bangles $12 each, Chan Luu Black Onyx drop earrings $130, Tory Burch “Robinson Zip Continental” wallet $225, Chan Luu layered gold and pyrite feather necklace $380, Feather hair accessory $16
We are loving this black and gold palette! Bold yet classic, day to night, these timeless accessories can be paired with the little black dress for a chic sophisticated look, tie together a patterned or sequin dress, or edge up a distressed jean and t-shirt night, which is my personal fave!

*****STARRY NIGHT*****
 Brian Atwood’s Liese steals the show.
Paired with opaque tights or black skinny jeans = Perfection
Hammitt "Director" clutch $325, B by Brian Atwood “Liese” peep toe silver sparkle bootie $350, Sayami Cashmere Squiggle Scarf $120, Chan Luu Graduated Swarvoski Earrings $195, Silver CZ stretch bracelet $45, Medusa’s Heirlooms “Vera” flower barrette $22
I can’t get enough of my pair of Liese peep toe booties. I also can’t wear them without getting 100 compliments! The perfect party shoe! Paired with a more neutral palette Liese does all the talking. Amazing with a little black skirt and charcoal half tucked button down with this stunning long Marcia Moran druzy pendant necklace and Chan Luu silver drop earrings, you are ready to go! These silvery textured metallic accessories are winter soiree staples, especially this cozy cashmere Sayami NY scarf (available in multiple colors!) Come by Moxie & check out our new Hammitt bags- this is my favorite black clutch right now, fits everything you need and such a chic alternative to the traditional envelope with a touch of edge tossed in with Hammitt’s signature stud detail.


WINTER GLOW
Frederique surprises us again. This time, in glitter cork.
B by Brian Atwood “Frederique” $325, Sayami Cashmere Squiggle Scarf $120, Sayami Cashmere gloves $42, Marcia Moran Oval druzy ring $270, Medusa’s Heirlooms hair accessories $20-$45,  Chan Luu Three Drop Earring $295, Gold CZ stretch bracelet $45, Grayce by Molly Simms layered necklace $395
This warm palette brings sun kissed memories of summer into our snowy winter days. The Moxie girls have fallen in love with yet again another one of Brian Atwood’s stars, Frederique. The classic pump he designed for every girl now has a new twist: glitter cork. This unique texture combined with rose gold glitter is the most unique neutral pump I’ve seen yet. It is a fabulous alternative to the nude patent pump which we saw so much of last season. The new texture  stands out but compliments its other Frederique friends quite nicely on the shelves of Moxie (this style can also be found in black patent, black suede with gold as seen above, as well as purple suede). Shimmer & glow at your winter parties in these fabulous accessories combined with a cocktail dress or perhaps some light gold sequin shorts, tights, and a cream button up!

Thank you for reading about some of my favorites at Moxie this season! Many more entries to come! Cheers!
