I was invited to visit the Stuart Weitzman store in Mumbai to check out their New Collection. Their shoes are a Celebrity favorite, with celebrities like Kate Middleton,Jennifer Aniston,Eva Mendes,Kim Kardashian,Jessica Alba,Taylor Swift,Olivia Palermo,Carrie Underwood,Angelina Jolie, Sofía Vergara often sported wearing their shoes both causally and on the red carpet too. So I got to first-hand check out and try on shoes and bags from their prized collection. I surely felt tickled pink actually wearing the identical shoes worn by some of my favourite International Celebrities.
So here are the pictures of me sporting some of my favourite pieces from their new 2013 collection.
Stuart Weitzman 5050 Over the Knee Flat Boots
The luxe over-the-knee boot with a round toe and elastic boot shaft panel makes for a great fit. Made of Soft nappa leather upper and Logo rubber sole.The wildly popular 50/50 Boot is enjoying 20 years of ‘legendary over-the-knee style’ and being worn by legend herself Kate Moss in the brand's new ads.
The Super high boots that Kate Moss is wearing in the campaign are my favourite. They are super versatile, you can wear them with the long, at-the-knee skirt that everyone is wearing or with a mini skirt or even tuck your jeans in them and rate very high in the comfort factor too. You can wear them for running around for your daily errands and still look so chic. I matched the 5050 boots with a snakeskin texture, high shine handbag in greyish-black.
I also tried on 'The Corkswoon wedges', made world-famous by Kate Middleton. They made their debut in July 2012 when the Olympic Torch relay passed via Buckingham Palace. The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton,wore them often throughout the London Olympics and later again on the Jubilee Tour of South-East Asia.
I wore a little variation of these wedges,with glitter on the round toe, maybe a little better suited for a night out. I surely felt regal in them.
The Orange Snakeskin texture HandBag and matching peep toe heels
Orange being one of favorite colors, I couldn't resist trying out this glamorous snakeskin texture handbag with matching peep toes, great for a grand brunch party or even a special dinner date.
Floral Clutch and Wedges
I adored this cute clutch/purse in this vibrant big floral print with matching wedges. I would so get this for my next beach vacation.
Glamorous Pointed-Toe Pumps with Glitter & Gloss I adored this cute clutch/purse in this vibrant big floral print with matching wedges. I would so get this for my next beach vacation.
They also had a variety of pretty pumps , I loved these ones in red and blue with metallic gold fronts and also very glamorous were the black pumps with silver glitter on the pointed toe. I would wear these to add a finishing touch to a sexy LBD.
I'm Wearing: Aztec Peplum Top - Forever New, Stripe Skirt - Forever New, Belt-Mango
Some of the other highlights of my store visit were these beauties below :
My Verdict : A great variety of shoes and handbags for a casual affair as well as a glamorous night out on the town in every hue and texture imaginable from leather, snakeskin texture, suede,florals, glitter to metallic. But don't expect lots of skyscraper heels, most of them have a modest 2 to 3 inch heels here.
I must say that the most of their shoes, especially the 5050 flat boots are insanely comfortable and stick true to their 'Made for Walking' fall Marketing campaign. Shoes are meant for longevity which comes with high quality to endure life's daily deal, which Stuart Weitzman defines quality and in the most fashion forward way.
It's a brand that does combine both comfort and style; for you to walk in it all day and dance all night.
So if you don't mind shelling out the extra moolah for some high quality stuff head on over to the Stuart Weitzman Store,1st Floor, Palladium Mall, Mumbai.
