Shi loves...Our Fans!

A little while back, we received an email from a fan named JaMika who had discovered Shi this past summer. JaMika is crazy about Shi and has quite the collection! Since we love our fans, we asked her to send photos of some of her faves! One of them? Steve Madden, of course!

"If people aren't keeping up with Steve [Madden] they might want to ensure they run to the nearest Shi and purchase shoes that are sure to turn heads!!! I'm MAD for STEVE MADDEN this season."

Thanks again JaMika for the love! If anyone has any favorites, post here or send photos to iforfashion@genesco.com. You may be featured on the blog!

(Faux) Fur Fever

I was a little on the fence this year about this comeback of fur vests (faux, of course!) but when I saw this one, I changed my mind. A little oversized, the Jack B.B. Dakota Janika vest is super soft and looks great w/ our black cord jeggings and some slouch boots (the cord jeggings are great, by the way. Trust me, I have them on right now and I l-o-v-e them). Add a splash of color with a scarf doubled as a belt. Perfect winter snow bunny look!

Down to Business.

I'm not sure about the rest of you girls, but I have quite the shoe collection. It doesn't help/hurt that I work for a shoe company, but still. I have...a lot. A good portion of my collection includes paisley prints, florals, satin bows & bright colors. Fortunately for me, our offices here are pretty open to many of our fashion experiments. Unfortunately for some of you out there, other offices are not. For those of you who are in this latter category (or just like the basics...I love a good, classic silhouette) check out some of the pieces above from our collection of business appropriate shoes coming out this fall. Ruffles, studs and stitches add some fun detail. What do you ladies think?

Boots!!!

I'm not sure if you girls are as excited as I am that boot season is fast approaching, but let me tell you, I. Am. Pumped. As summer winds down, we start getting deceptively cool morning and evenings that make us dream of late fall, when boots and jackets are finally appropriate to wear. Then, mid-day, comes the sweltering sun and we are reminded that it's not quite time to break out our wardrobe we carefully stored away last March.

Don't get me wrong. I LOVE summer. It's my favorite season by far. It's just that, when the weather begins to cool down, I remember all my sweaters, boots, scarves & jackets that I haven't been able to wear and am ready to trade in my sundresses and flip-flops for more sophistication.

In the spirit of pining away for fall, I wanted to show everyone some of the fabulous boots we have coming in this season. How about that sequin boot?! Love it! Hope everyone has a fun, safe & fashionable Labor Day weekend!

Fashion Friday at The Office

One of the things I love about working for a shoe company (aside from it feeding my unhealthy shoe obsession) is seeing all the fabulous outfits the girls around the office have put together. We have a pretty fashionable group of people around here (guys too!) and it's great for inspiration. There is such a wide variety of styles that you're never running out of ideas. For today, I was able to round up 4 super stylish ladies to have their photos taken for the blog-trust me it was difficult. NO ONE wants their picture taken! Thankfully, Emily, Dannie, Lauren and Michelle were kind enough to pose for the camera. After lighting adjustments, lip gloss applications, complaints and more, here are 4 of our office's loveliest!

Emily is our resident vintage girl. She loves pairing dresses with unique accessories and pops of color. Dannie is the newest addition to our team and I always catch her in these lovely, layered ensembles. Style shouldn't have to be hard and Lauren proves it in her easy, floral maxi dress topped off with a cardi and great accessories. Michelle is rocking a pair of skinny jeans and our exclusive Jeset wedges (love her glasses & super chic side ponytail! Makes me miss my long hair!).

So, now that you've seen some of our style, we want to see yours! Send photos of your style to iforfashion@genesco.com and you may be featured on the blog! Oh, and thanks to Emily, Dannie, Lauren & Michelle. To all the girls who denied me taking their photo...watch out! You'll be on here eventually!

Fall Fashion Alert

Menswear pieces have been on the radar for awhile now but this year they seem to be especially trending. Oxfords, camel-colored blazers, fedoras and tumbled leather briefcases & messenger bags are making their appearances everywhere. We love them too, especially paired with a sleek tweed pencil skirt and an understated vest.
See our favorite menswear pieces in our collection.

Fall Must Haves

This weekend I did the much dreaded (and also very necessary) chore of cleaning out my closet. Do I really need that white tank that I have 5 more of, that may or may not have a fixable snag in it? I've had it for 100 years and it's way past it's prime, but still...I may need it one day. Needless to say, Goodwill got a hefty donation. If you're like me and have a hard time getting past those hard-to-give-up items, read this article. It's on de-cluttering your house (applies to closets too). If I denied that I answered yes to any (all) of these questions, it would be a lie. Read The Top 6 Excuses for Clutter

Fortunately, it cleared the way for some new fall pieces to work their way home with me from my shopping trip...ok trips. It was Tax-Free weekend here after all. I stocked up on pencil skirts, cardigans & blazers. Here are some of my favorite Shi pieces I can't wait to get. Some aren't coming in until September though...I suppose I can make it.



Must Have #1: A Belted Jacket. Romaine Belted Jacket | $65 | Available September 2010


Must Have #2: Embellished Clogs. Icora Maple Clog (also in Black) | $44.99 | Available September 2010


Must Have #3: Rugged Boots (w/ a pretty dress). True Religion Georgia Boot | $169.99 | Available Now


Must Have #1: A Great Slouch Bag. Two Handle Slouch Satchel | $40 | Available Now

Boots for a Rainy Day...

The impending thunderstorm I hear brewing outside reminds me how much fun it used to be to play in a warm, summertime shower as a kid. As much as I still love the rain, I don't necessarily want to run around in it. Don't you hate getting caught running to or from your car, only to find the bottom 10 inches of your pants, SOAKING wet? So inconvenient! Solution: wear these super-stylish rain boots from Capelli! Get the pink/black paisley now or pre-order the black today (sadly not available until September) and splash away girls!

Sneak Peek: Holiday Heels 2010

Had to share these super-sophisticated heels that were being packed up for the Holiday catalog shoot today. Cannot wait for these to come in. Love the vintage feel from the tumbled material (note: I need to stock up on pencil skirts). What would you girls wear these with?


(These are only samples of course! We may change our mind and tweak the color or material just a bit so don't get too attached.)

Our Current Obsession

About a week ago this rose-printed tote came across my desk and I've been staring at it ever since. It looks so rustic yet, polished. I think this is going to be one of my fall go-to bags.

Celeb Style: Steal their Look

Jessica Alba looks lovely in today's issue of People Magazine, sporting some $1700 Christian Louboutin Lace Booties. Get her look for a little less with our version from Dollhouse. At $49.99, they're a steal!

Hello From...CoolSprings Galleria Shi Store!

I took a trip today to the CoolSprings Galleria Shi by Journeys store to find out from the staff what their favorite styles are in stores right now. Let me just say, it was a hard decision, but they finally narrowed it down after much thought.

Matt chose the Camryn by Vans (he suggests pairing them with a floral dress). Lisa & Krystal both went with the Frye boots (which by the way, I have on my wish list right now. I think I'm going to splurge and get them this Fall. I've held out long enough...) Krystal couldn't decide on just one so I said OK to two-so, besides the Frye boots, she picked the Puma Imani Mesh in green (also in navy, and also on my wish list). Megan opted for the über-comfy, embroidered Raja flats by Not Rated.

Thanks to the staff for sharing their favs!
