We love Holidays!

Sunday, December 9th, 2012

Splendid feasts are prepared, delectable treats spread lovingly over thoughtful table arrangements. The scent of invigorating fresh pine, and spicy sweet woody cinnamon, tantalize our senses. Sumptuous fabrics and adornments in cheery winter colors create an inviting ambiance of jovial festivity wherever we go.

It is a nostalgic time of the year, when we make space to reflect on the many ways we love and appreciate one another, the reasons why we stay together, or fall apart, yet hope to reconcile, cherishing the bonds that draw us closer to a more peaceful and exalted existence.  These magical people we’ve invited into our lives are the highlight of our holidays, and we are excited to honor them, celebrating the special qualities about them that inspire and amaze us year-round.

“To receive, give”, we hear, time and time again. It is with giving in mind that DNA Footwear has designed a brilliant holiday lookbook, a gift guide that makes it easier to share our passion for fashion with those who have given us so much of themselves.  Featured, is a fantastic selection of the hottest footwear and accessories by the season’s most coveted brands, like Sorel, Frye, Hunter, Palladium, Vans, Dolce Vita, Bed|Stu, UGG Australia, and many more, including Wolverine 1000 Mile by Samantha Pleet. Take a look!

Because gifting can be so “Pinteresting”, we’ve also, curated a collection of #DNAholiday Pinterest boards to complement our look book, giving you a fun space to put together your naughty & nice lists with ease!

The Fabulous Forties

Monday, July 9th, 2012

One of the biggest inspirations for fall 2012 fashion is the 1940’s, an era of simple elegance. Designers such as John Galliano, Jason Wu and Jenny Packman (who’s forties-inspired makeup was done with Laura Mercier’s Cinema Noir Fall 2012 Makeup Collection – a collection which brings the 1940‘s makeup back) all featured collections that celebrated the glamorous era. In the forties, fashion was simplified, clean and non-complex, due primarily to the war and its effect on fabric availability. 1940’s fashion displayed the strength of that time and effortless styling. But while hemlines got higher, heel heights remained moderately low.

Stacie Low Heel Shoe - Champagne Misty Low Heel Shoe - Yellow
Michelle Low Heel Open-Toe Pump - Royal Blue Taupe Samantha Strappy Mid Heel Sandal - Black

Mariana by GOLC has several footwear styles inspired by the simplicity of the 1940’s, very much like the ones forties celebrities such as Ingrid Bergman, Greta Garbo and Rita Hayworth wore. The demure styles feature a silhouette that is as graceful as the typical forties style but with a modern take. Get a step up on the fashion competition with these vintage-inspired styles from Mariana by GOLC – Samantha Strappy Mid Heel Sandal, Michelle Low Heel Open-Toe Pump, Misty Low Heel Shoe, and the Stacie Low Heel Shoe.
