Lady Gagaaahhhh!

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

Here at Soloro HQ we all know how hard it is to balance and walk in sky high heels. We all have to admire the fabulous Lady Gaga for even attempting to walk in the rather dangerous looking boots by Noritaka Tatehana. Being the girl of the moment who everyone is gossiping about fashion wise comfortable shoes and clothing is just not an option anymore!

These boots, impressive as they are were definitely not made for walking as unfortunately proven by Gaga herself after taking a tumble upon arrival at Heathrow airport. . . Ouch!!

We all love our heels and platforms but maybe they need to be a few inches shorter than what Gaga is attempting in order to survive with all bones in tact.

At the moment we are loving the fabulous Soloro style Lindsey – featured recently in You magazine.

It’s the perfect platform mule to be worn SAFELY throughout the day and can carry you on into the night to your own monster ball!

Enjoy! x

Back To Black

MTV

Whilst most of the world is talking about the Bruno & Eminem ‘Stunt’ at this years MTV movie awards, we’re still very much interested in the glitz and glam and what was being worn on the red carpet.

With a list of stars such as Cameron Diaz, Paris Hilton and fashion Brit queen Sienna Miller on the guest list we were definately in for a style fest and we were not disappointed! With the mix of micro mini’s to full length and flawless, there was only one style on most people’s feet . . .  Black seems to be back!

With a host of stars such as the gorgeous Megan Fox and our favourite ‘Hills’ star Lauren Conrad parading down the red carpet in a fabulous pair, here at Soloro HQ we just want the perfect pair for our very own and are looking no further than house brand Soloro!

If you’re looking for the strappy style as modelled by Megan and Ashley Tisdale then we think Kensington and Chiswick are just perfect and so versatile - the perfect day to night shoes!!

If you’re more of a peeptoe platform girl like Hayden Panettiere then we think the fabulous Paddington are just perfect and these have been flying off the site all season so get your pair fast!

The Sky's The Limit!!

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

Heidi Klum can make most things look good even a paper bag but not even the fashionistas here at Soloro HQ would ever attempt to try this. One word – OUCH!

Sky-high heels may be a key trend this Season but this may be taking it a little too far!

Depending on your nerve, we have 3 simple shoes which will help you achieve this look!

1. Up Up and Away! These are a killer pair of heels and are just fabulous for all your glam nights out! These beauts are PADDINGTON by our very own Soloro

2. Middle of the Road! These shoes still have the height (with the added trend of reptile) but more manageable for the more reserved lady! Jamie Mascaro’s MAY is the perfect evening shoe and why not treat yourself to the matching bag MASON!

3. Down to Earth! For the ladies who prefer to keep their feet on the ground may we suggest Fly London’s VIOLA for that perfect summer sandal!

The Future is Bright The Future is Shoes

Spring is well and truly on its way and here at Soloro HQ we just can’t wait to buy all the summer goodies which we have on offer!

After all the dull colours this winter we were so excited to hear that ‘Brights’ is a big key trend this summer, and Girlband of the moment ‘The Saturdays’ are already loving and working this trend!

May we suggest you get your colour fix via Maldives by Shellys or these Soloro Beauties . . . . .

Confessions of a shoe-a-holic

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

 

Squeals of excitement rung out from Soloro HQ when we realised that Confessions of a Shopoholic is due to hit the silver screen next week.
Starring Mrs Sacha Baron Cohen- the gorgeous Isla Fisher-we now have a new fashion icon to rival Carrie Bradshaw in the style stakes once more! Hoorah! However, it’s no wonder we’re getting palpitations from sneaky style clips of the film…it’s styled by Patricia Fielding who was responsible for all SATC fashion loveliness too!
It seems colour is the order of the day on Confessions… channelling a key SS09 trend for fruity/citrus brights, we have already seen a fantabulous multi layered fluorescent skirt adorn Miss Fisher and a canary yellow Marc Jacobs bag swing happily from her arm. Jealous? Moi?
We suggest you get your colour fix via Schutz here on Soloro…we’re loving the Shakira which is almost as cute as Isla’s pink beauties (above). Enjoy!

We leave you with a tantalising trailer….

HAPPY SHOE YEAR!

Happy New Year Soloro fans!

It has been a while since we last blogged. Did you miss us?

We hope Santa was good to you and that your other half listened when you said you wanted a pair of fab new shoes for Christmas…or, perhaps you treated yourself?!

If you have been a little short on cash recently, we’re confident that you are going to LOVE our sale!! Form an orderly queue now!

December has been a busy month for Soloro! Thanks so much to everyone who attended The Style Show presented by Handbag.com. The event was a real success for us and we even managed to pick up a couple of new celebrity fans…BB twins Samanda!!

Wonderfully sweet and oh-so pretty, the twins raved about the AW08 collection and picked up a pair of Soloro Noxie boots in black and a pair of Luiza Barcelos for Soloro Lex shoes. The Noxie boot has been a real winner for winter with many of you ladies opting to look wonderfully stylish while wrapped up warm!

Congratulations to the new Miss Fresh Photographic, Kimberly Cooper who is pictured with the twins.

Happy sale shopping!!

Girls on top..Pop looks bright!

Soloro HQ favourites Girls Aloud gave every fashionista a run for their money at last night’s Music Industry Trust Awards which were hosted at London’s Grosvenor Hall.

Looking glizy, glam and incredibly happy, it looks as though missing member Nadine Coyle missed out on a bumper night where guests included the newly single Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon and the Sugababes who were working the girly goth look down to a T!

We’re most impressed with red-headed Nicola’s fab look- her strapless peach dress and Chanel belt look truly tip top. For once (in the style stakes at least) it’s not all about Mrs Cole! Of course, we’re all about the shoes and Girls Aloud have come up trumps again..

Grab Nicola’s golden look with this pair of Schutz. They have been flying off the site this season! Of course, we are masters of the classic peeptoe that Sarah’s sporting so why not gives these beauties a whirl by gorgeous brand ASH…perfect!

 

A step-up too far?

Calling all vertically challenged guys….

Here’s something to tickle your fancy (or not!)

The wonderful Marc Jacobs who once (infamously) donned a skirt, has been spotted wearing a pair of Rick Owens’s high heels too! Showcasing his new look at the Louis Vuitton SS09 show, he offered an explaination:

“I don’t always wear high heels. I always get nuts when women go, ‘Oh, men don’t know what it’s like – women in heels, women in skirts, women in dresses – what it’s like to suffer for fashion.”

“Although I’ve always wanted to be taller, which is the real reason I wore them, I also thought I can show that I, too, will suffer for fashion.”

The ladies at Soloro HQ are a hung jury on this one. We can appreciate the sentiment (suffering like the ladies do) but seriously, who wants a guy who outshines your own pair of platform beauties? Pah!

So guys, if you want a great pair of formal shoes that won’t magically make you look taller but will attract the right kind of attention, a pair of Democrata will work out a real treat!

Our favourite style is Oliver which has a gorgeous silver gleam. These are bang on trend and will please the ladies more than a 6ft5 burly hunk…kind of…..

Going for gold!

Love it or hate it, there’s no getting away from X-factor fever at the minute. The Soloro HQ can’t resist an X-related gossip every Monday morning and right now, the lovely Cheryl Cole is topping the agenda with her wonderful fashion choices. Last Saturday was no exception….

Giving a classic black catsuit a swift update with accents of gold, our favourite X-factor judge looked truly radiant as she prepared to do what no other judge had done before…sing live on the show! Copy her look here with a gorgeous pair of gold Lotus peeptoes or go a little vampy with these wonderful Schutz numbers!

Or, if you’re wanting a bit of sequin madness without any kind of high heel pain (and lets face it, we’re not tooooo far off the festive season!) you could always plump for these eye-catching babies…Fabulous! Just like the Girls Aloud ladies on Saturday’s show, we can’t resist glittery goodness!

Halloween Haven

It’s fast approaching Halloween and there’s no better time to showcase AW08’s hottest trend: Gothic Romance. Aggy works it (above) and looks anything but scary…typical! Think heavy metal jewellery, deep black layers, sleek leather and witchy, giant knits. The new softer side of goth hit the YSL, Luella and Givenchy catwalks generating a masterclass in all things moody and sheer. Your new autumn/winter uniform needs to include some staples to add a real dark side to your wardrobe and there’s no better way to do this than gliding by on a pair of scarily high heels! Showstopping! Might we put forward these beauties by Schutz? Stappy, black and totally fab. No need to be scaring any small children wearing these!

Fashion fans in the Midlands will be familiar with 69 Magazine and our presence in the Autumn 09 issue..I can reveal that these were featured and adored by the fashion editor for their Gothic Romance shoot. Splendid!
