StyleCandy WashingtonComment

Hi lovelies,

Who walks in L.A.? This stylish chick! Coming from NYC and now living in Los Angeles, I still love walking from shop-to-shop and cafe-to-cafe.

Luckily for me, Mephisto just celebrated 50 years of creating iconic shoes! Get the insider scoop below!

“International footwear brand Mephisto – with a rich history spanning 50 years – hosted a VIP event last night, Thursday, October 11th to celebrate its cult-classic walking shoe, Mephisto Originals and to launch its 4-day Pop-up on Melrose Avenue.

The event was held in the pop-up, adjacent to iconic destination for sneakerheads and celebrities, Sportie LA, located at 7763 Melrose Ave and the adjoining parking lot, infamous for its influencer appeal due to its iconic murals.

The event, titled “#Mephistowalks” was designed to poke fun at the age-old presumption that Angelinos don’t walk. It brought together a slew of Influencers and industry VIP’s who were treated to a special gifting suite experience, which included an interactive room whereby a unique greenscreen treadmill feature had guests producing their own mini ‘walking films’ in their new Mephisto Originals shoes for social media.

Guests were treated to a live performance by singer-songwriter, Andrew Cole (Colorblind), accompanied by Black Eyed Peas’ guitarist, producer, George Pajon, and concert violinist, KOI whilst Muralist, Gustavo Zermeno created live a Mephisto Originals branded wall piece for the brand.”

Notable guests included: Christopher Reid (Kid from Hip-Hop duo, Kid N Play), George Pajon, Michael Evans Behling, Lyriq Bent, Rhuigi, Eric Ramirez, Jasmine White, Brandon Gray and Hugh Augustine. Specialty cocktails were provided by partners, ROK Drinks.

Quickshoelace x Fall Fashion

StyleCandy Washington3 Comments

Hi lovelies,

Nothing says back-to-school, back-to-working-out, and fall into Fall fashion, than a new pair of shoes. So whether you're rocking a new pair of sneakers, Converse, combat boots, and everything in-between, the essential shoe accessory of the season is the Quickshoelace.

Quickshoelace are elastic laces that you simply stretch, clip, and go. You place a ring on one of the ends of the laces and then easily clip it to a metal piece to effortlessly lace your shoes.

Each pair comes with a set of 4 metal clips and my favorite colors are the solid black and the solid pink, but they come in over a dozen Basic colors that you can check out here, and even more Neon colors are available here.

But if you're like me and you're looking for statement laces with a fashion flair and metallic finish, then check out their Prestige lace collection here. These laces are so stylish that they are coated with 24-karat gold.

What I love most about the Quickshoelace is that you can quickly and easily update your look by simply switching up the color of your laces. You can revamp and upgrade any outfit by making a statement with your shoes.

Another style tip is to mix-and-match the color of your shoelaces for an added fashion twist. I love mixing a metallic color with a neon color or a basic color with a neon color, but the options for mixing and matching are endless.

Let me know how you wear your laces below!

Hi lovelies,

The coolest thing out of Malibu other than palm trees, amazing beach homes, and ocean-side parties, is the revolutionary shoe brand, OTZ Shoes.

All shoes are made with premium materials to not only guarantee craftsmanship and quality but also speak to OTZ’s good environmental citizenship. The technology and design uses high-end materials and innovative thinking to provide the maximum support in every pair while also looking chic and stylish.

Their Spring and Summer 2015 collection features materials ranging from Italian woven batik, stunning goat suede, perforated leathers, and woven camouflage. OTZ also uses natural cork technology. which shapes to the contour of your feet.

OTZ Shoes also comes in different footbeds: CORKfit, CORKlite, CORKminimalist, and CORKlite Vegan. The design promotes better posture and comfort and the cork has antimicrobial properties to promote happy and healthy feet.
