Pasotti Umbrellas are in!

Isn't it just too true that everything from Italy is fabulous?  We love the attention to detail and craftsmanship- but did you know these umbrellas actually function like real umbrellas! They aren't just some pretty facade.
With ornate glass blown handels and made with splendid fabrics and fabulous designs on the inside (!) Pasotti umbrellas are the DOC of the umbrella world- which stands for excellent quality- just like the Italian classification for DOC or DOCG in wines-- with Pasotti you know you are getting excellence!

This is just a sampling of what we have in store- stop on in to see our selection on person.  Prices vary depending on style and handle, but you are sure to love them- they make great gifts! And who wants to waste pretty designs on the outside, when you can look up into the clouds and see something beautiful yourself.

La Canadienne "Lizzie" $140 and "Liliana" $184

We love boots from La Canadienne, but did you know they make fabulous summer footwear as well!  Check out these stylish sandals from La Canadienne in the ice snake print.  La Canadienne boots are so comfortable, and their sandals are too. Aside from good looks and nice heel heights, the sandals from La Canadienne, in this case the 'Lizzie' and the 'Liliana' have a contoured foot bed, which means you can wear them all day standing on your feet knowing you wont have to sit down and rest later because of sore toes!

Paul Green 'Etta' $240

The Paul Green style 'Etta' is just one of those shoes with the perfect heel height. Not too tall, and not too short, it gives just the right amount of lift, and what a color!  The technical name is Bronze Techno Metallic but in person it is more of an iridescent pewter- but the 'Techno Metallic' label is right on.  The color reminds us of Mediterranean dance clubs- and this sandal would look good anywhere from U. Village to the Streets of Palermo or Mykonos.  This is Paul Green after all, so if you need a heel to travel with this summer- look no further.  You know how well Paul Green treats your feet, and this color goes with just about everything and screams sunshine!  Come try one on!

Paul Green 'Ember" $278

This just in, Paul Green's 'Ember' is one of our favorites this season.  A 2" heel on a 3/8" tractor sole platform with a too cute stacked wood heel, is chic yet urban and playful.  The suede ruching and peep toe make it perfect for our capricious weather- it is a great transition between booties and sandals. It has a side zip for easy entry. It is, after all, a Paul Green shoe, so you know it is worthy of all day wear and the 'Ember' is sophisticated enough for work or play.

They are going fast, and we have only had them a couple of days, so hurry on in!

Everybody "Open" $192

Everybody shoes continues to amaze us.  This shoe, the everybody "Open" just came in yesterday and is already flying out the door! The low heal combined with the sexy cut outs and two tone leathers is a match made in shoe heaven. As always with Everybody the leathers are ultra soft, and this looked so darn cute with a gal who tired them on this morning with white crop pants!

We also seem to be the only boutique we can find carrying this style- sorry hurry before they are all gone!

Born Crown "Alcala II" $125

One of our all time favorites here at mu.shoe the Born Crown Alcala now comes in awesome colors for spring and summer, and who doesn't love a little pizazz? The raspberry color we have in stock (and also black patent) is very pretty in person, and has a textured soft feel.


I tell everyone, because it is true, this is the one shoe/heel I always take with me when I travel and when I know I am going to be on my feet a lot.  You may not believe it, but it is really comfy for all day- even wandering the streets of Rome.

We can also get the colors: leaf, champagne, tan, mahogany, squash and gold depending on availability- so if you are looking for one of these colors please give us a call and we can send you photos.

Happy Socks for Happy People

We love color and we love happy feet here at mu.shoe, so it is only right that we now carry Happy Socks! All Happy Socks are high quality socks, made from combed cotton, and they are just so fun and bright we couldn't resist.  Be bold and have some color this summer!

Born Crown "Anette" $120 and "Stowaway" $99

Need a cute everyday sandal for the awesome spring weather this weekend, come in and check out the incredibly cushioned and comfy "Anette" in Champagne color- which is a great neutral for everyday. It has a little bit of a wedge, is very flattering on, and did we mention ultra comfortable?

If you need something a little more closed in for everyday wear that will go with a pair of jeans or even dress pants or skirts for work, we also have the Born Crown style "stowaway", also in champagne.  The Stowaway is Born's everyday ballet flat, and we plan on wearing ours everyday as well because our feet stay so happy!  Again, we received the Stowaway in the neutral champagne color, but it also comes in Black, a sky blue, and light pink.  Give us a call and we will let you know what colors in what sizes we can get for you the fastest!

Kelsi Dagger "Kava $115

This shoe is similar to a classic fashion forward design that we saw years ago from a small Italian company but have been waiting with baited breath for someone to make it in the USA-- but would you believe it is comfortable and you can actually walk in them?  Don't be decieved by the tall wedge, these shoes have lots of cushioning, an at $115 who can resist.  They are just so darn cute on.  The Kava is summery and you can go with the harder edge look with skinny jeans, or soften them with a pretty print sundress; either way you are sure to love them!

Paul Green "Edana" $298

 We have only had these shoes for about 2 days and they are flying fast!  Here you see the Paul Green "Edana" in black suede with the adjustable laces up the front with our Kale Palmer handbag in Cocoa patent for $649.  The heel height on these feels perfect because there is a hidden platform inside the shoe.  They are so sexy, and comfortable at the same time. The size zip allows for a better fit- but these shoes simply are stunning- come check them out before your size is gone!

Kelsi Dagger shoes!

MuShoe has started carrying Kelsi Dagger shoes and we are absolutely in love with them! This shoe is called the "Gilia" and is $115. They are so flattering on the foot and although they are a pretty high heel, they are very comfortable! They would be perfect for a dress and as you can see from the picture, they look fabulous with a pair of skinny jeans! It is always nice to fill your wardrobe with versatile shoes. Next time you are in MuShoe make sure to try these on and ask to see what else we have from Kelsi Dagger!

Donald Pliner "Viveca" $235

This hip new style from Donald Pliner, the "Viveca", is an architecturally inspired toe ring sandal on a 2 1/4" heel, made in a buttery soft vachetta leather.  Dreamily padded under the foot for all day comfort, with a rubber sole which helps for all day wear and our sometimes wet weather, the Viveca is a great new edition to Donald Pliner's sandal collection-- and one you will be sure to love.

Everybody "Emerald" $178

Perhaps the perfect shoe for the season, the Everybody "Emerald" combines classic beauty with amazing support and ultimate comfort. There is a slight hidden wedge in these shoes that makes them a dream on the feet and allows for a little lift to support those arches without having you toppling over. The back zip also ads a little bit of extra flair and stability.

As always with Everybody, you will get fabulous craftsmanship with quality buttery leathers.  The Emerald in this neutral honey, hazelnut color is a must have for the season.

Aquatalia "Kaya" $260

Need a little more sophistication in your gladiator inspired footwear?  Look no further than the Aquatalia Kaya in a nut brown calf leather.  Soft, supple, and with a flexible sole, this caged in look with a 2.5 in triangular heel will look very chick with summer print dresses once it warm up a bit!

Donald Pliner Handbags

We have recieved some fabulous handbags from Donald Pliner made in the Mountains of Italy in the softest of leathers and in some of the most fabulous and fascinating colors.  Here is just a sampling;

This is the Donald Pliner Afra in Poppy $415

This is the Donald Pliner Boaz in Acid $285

We also have this bag in the reverse coloring which is Aqua with Acid accents.

Donald Pliner "Fifi" in Antqiue metal $215

One of Donald Pliner's best selling shoes of all time, the "Fifi" sandal, is also one of our favorites here at mu.shoe.  The simple contoured foot bed of the Fifi with stylish asymmetrical leather upper is always a favorite, and this season we chose the antique metal because it is a classic neutral color that will work well with any outfit and is a bit livelier for spring then just your basic black.  Come try them on and see why it is a staple in so many wardrobes, and one of Donald Pliner's best sellers.

New Lodis Wallets in for Spring

The sunny weather makes us want to add some color to our wardrobe, and Lodis is here to help.  We just received a shipment of wallets, business card holders and passport covers in a fabulous array of spring colors, that will liven up your mood, or make your travels this spring and summer that much more fun filled and bright.

Come in and Check them out!

Fidji shoes "E195", "E192", and "B593"

If you have never tried on a pair of Fidji shoes, you are missing one of the treasures in life... seriously. This is the third season we have carried Fidji shoes here at mu.shoe, and we have loved every minute of it- as have you.

Fidji is a fabulous company.  They use the softest of Italian leathers, dyed to our specifications, and constructed on the coast of Portugal with the utmost eye for craftsmanship and wearability in each shoe. This is why Fidji is so well loved by those who own a pair.  You will see Fidji shoes at other stores, but because we take care to specially order each shoe in a style, color, and leather that is unique and individual, you will get a different experience and a different selection here at mu.shoe than anywhere else.

The heel heights of Fidji shoes are many and varied, but we tend to stick with more moderate heels, making them more accessible to everyone, whether you normally wear flip flops or stilettos, you will be pleasantly surprised by how they feel on your foot.

So far this season we have 3 main styles. A little bit of something for everyone- and guaranteed to be unique to mu.shoe. Come in, give them a try, or call for your size as our Fidji shoes tend to sell out quickly and are in high demand.

 

This is the Fidji "E192" in fuchsia.  Adorable cut outs, Velcro Maryjane style sling-back, with a 2 1/4 inch heel.

This is the Fidji "B593".  Great distressed black/metallic leather.  Velcro closure with adjustable buckle on a 1 7/8 in. flexible sole, to ensure the perfect fit.  Great for everyday wear.

  

This is the Fidji "E195" in a mottled taupe/grey.  Feminine stitching and flirty detail for spring, this great neutral shoe has a 2 1/2 inch heel and a flattering tie on the bridge of the foot.
