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!!

Phew!

Soloro HQ has been buzzing lately as we were hotly anticipating the launch of the new Soloro store. Friday the 14th of November was the date….how exciting!

Right up until 5pm (when the launch evening began), we were busy putting finishing touches to the fab new store. We couldn’t believe how great it looked and it really does do the amazing shoes we have to offer, justice!

We were pleased at the number of people who popped through the door to say hello and to sample some of the treats we had on offer- champagne and nibbles all round! As Stamford’s only shoe boutique we had plenty of excited ladies (and guys!) who were eager to get their mitts on the gorgeous goods.

We would like to thank the organisers of the Style Show presented by Handbag.com who kindly donated 2 pairs of tickets that were raffled off on the evening! Don’t forget…you can see the lovely Soloro shoe boutique at the Style Show event from the 5th-10th December…

All in all, a fantastic evening was had by all shoe lovers.

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…..

Men can be boot-iful too at Soloro.co.uk…..

These lovingly crafted, buckle bearing offerings from up-and-coming brand Officine Creative will definitely put a smile on your faces…..

You can’t fault the high standard of craftmanship as each shoe is sleekly sculpted with a thick, welted sole which has been rubber-covered for extra durability and grip. This brand is a shoe force to be reckoned with! It’s not all about construction either as the leather is exceptionally smooth and oh-so amazing….

Guys….you know what to do….Soloro has spoken!

Well the wait is over and Soloro has finally arrived in cyberspace! This will be the place where you can find out all the latest Soloro news, celeb shoe gossip and brands that really tickle our fancy here at the Soloro HQ.  Feel free to comment and let us know your views…

It’s a great time for us to start as we head into AW08. Here in the office we’re practically drooling over the warehouse goodies….never has winter looked so appealing!

More news to come!
