      <title><![CDATA[A MAGIC Recap Part Deux]]></title>
      <link>http://shop.moxsie.com/blog/a-magic-recap-part-deux</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Here's Round 2 of Mayka's Las Vegas recap. In this sample, you'll see a bit of trade, a bit of show, and a bit of...nighttime activities. They say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, so that's why nobody took pictures of Paris Hilton when she clogged the line for XS or <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">texted</span> showed her shoe collection at Platform.</p>
<p>Everything else, though? It was simply too good to not share with you. Click through to see who got married!</p>
<p>Crow's a new label we've just brought to <a href="http://first.moxsie.com" target="_blank" title="MOXSIE FIRST"><strong>MOXSIE FIRST</strong></a>. Great colors and so easy to wear. They even fit Shilpa's (Director of Merchandising) difficult-to-size wrist!</p>
<p><a href="http://first.moxsie.com" target="_self" title="MOXSIE FIRST"><img src="../../../../../../media/awp/Blog/10-08-26_01.jpg" border="0" alt="Moxsie Las Vegas Magic August 2010" width="600" height="450" style="border: 0;" /></a></p>
<p>Platform, oh Platform. More footwear designers than there are feet!</p>
<p><img src="../../../../../../media/awp/Blog/10-08-26_02.jpg" border="0" alt="Moxsie Las Vegas Magic August 2010" width="600" height="450" style="border: 0;" /></p>
<p>On the more indie tip, Pool Trade Show boasted a lot of new creativity that's swiftly on the rise. <a href="../../../../../../sora-designs" target="_self" title="Sora Designs"><strong>Sora Designs</strong></a> was a part of the Cash &amp; Carry section, and this point I had to swiftly walk away. Too many options, so little cash...(Those taxi rides up and down the Strip add up!)</p>
<p><img src="../../../../../../media/awp/Blog/10-08-26_03.jpg" border="0" alt="Moxsie Las Vegas Magic August 2010" width="600" height="450" style="border: 0;" /></p>
<p>I count this as a sort of celebrity sighting. Those impeccably adorned fingers belong to Wendy Lam of <a href="http://www.nitrolicious.com" target="_blank" title="Nitrolicious">Nitrolicious</a>. I'm a fan of her blog and hopefully didn't creep her out when I asked if I could snap an "in-action" shot. Of her typing. That's not weird, right?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nitrolicious.com" target="_blank" title="Nitrolicious"><img src="../../../../../../media/awp/Blog/10-08-26_04.jpg" border="0" alt="Moxsie Las Vegas Magic August 2010" width="600" height="450" style="border: 0;" /></a></p>
<p><a href="../../../../../../the-hundreds" target="_self" title="The Hundreds"><strong>The Hundreds</strong></a> included MOXSIE in <a href="http://thehundreds.com/blog/uncategorized/threepeat/" target="_blank" title="THREEPEAT.">"The Miami Heat of the Internet"</a> in a pic with Yu-Ming, Wendy, and me, which would make this picture the "San Jose Sharks of Street Style." (What? It's hard to pick a solid Bay Area sports team!) Here's Yu-Ming Wu of <a href="http://www.freshnessmag.com" target="_blank" title="Freshness Mag">Freshness Mag</a>, Bobby from The Hundreds, and Wendy of <a href="http://www.nitrolicious.com" target="_blank" title="Nitrolicious">Nitro</a> taking a break from roaming SLATE. (They guy doing either a complicated handshake or checking his phone in the back left is <em>the</em> Keith Hufnagel, the skate legend behind <a href="../../../../../../huf" target="_self" title="HUF"><strong>HUF</strong></a>.)</p>
<p><a href="../../../../the-hundreds" target="_self" title="The Hundreds"><img src="../../../../../../media/awp/Blog/10-08-26_05.jpg" border="0" alt="Moxsie Las Vegas Magic August 2010" width="600" height="450" style="border: 0;" /></a></p>
<p>I like dogs.</p>
<p><img src="../../../../../../media/awp/Blog/10-08-26_06.jpg" border="0" alt="Moxsie Las Vegas Magic August 2010" width="450" height="600" style="margin-left: 75px; margin-right: 75px; border: 0;" /></p>
<p>And now, onto the eveningwear...</p>
<p><img src="../../../../../../media/awp/Blog/10-08-26_07.jpg" border="0" alt="Moxsie Las Vegas Magic August 2010" width="450" height="600" style="margin-left: 75px; margin-right: 75px; border: 0;" /></p>
<p>We went to <a href="../../../../../../matt-bernson" target="_self" title="Matt Bernson"><strong>Matt Bernson's</strong></a> first annual Band Bash at Beauty Bar, where we also ran into fellow footwear designers Darin from <a href="../../../../../../heyday" target="_self" title="Heyday Footwear"><strong>Heyday Footwear</strong></a> and Ce Ce from <a href="../../../../../../8020" target="_self" title="80%20 Shoes"><strong>80%20 Shoes</strong></a>. I wore my <a href="../../../../../../matt-bernson/vesper-grey-veg.html" target="_self" title="Matt Bernson Vesper Peep Toe Ankle Boot"><strong>Matt Bernson Vespers</strong></a> for the occasion, and he thanked me personally. (Ladies, in case you were wondering, the Vespers are super comfortable, and yes, I was able to dance in them.)</p>
<p><img src="../../../../../../media/awp/Blog/10-08-26_08.jpg" border="0" alt="Moxsie Las Vegas Magic August 2010" width="600" height="450" style="border: 0;" /></p>
<p>The party featured a live performance by Eastern Conference Champions. They were good! They've been featured on <em>Gossip Girl,</em> so there's some more name-dropping for you.</p>
<p><img src="../../../../../../media/awp/Blog/10-08-26_09.jpg" border="0" alt="Moxsie Las Vegas Magic August 2010" width="600" height="450" style="border: 0;" /></p>
<p>...And they definitely got people to dance.</p>
<p><img src="../../../../../../media/awp/Blog/10-08-26_10.jpg" border="0" alt="Moxsie Las Vegas Magic August 2010" width="600" height="450" style="border: 0;" /></p>
<p>We were walking through Aria when we spotted a girl with awesome styling. "Ooh, she's wearing cool garters," I said, and then someone replied, "Yeah! I love her hat, too!" Surprise! Turned out it was Angela from <a href="../../../../../../hellz-bellz" target="_self" title="Hellz"><strong>Hellz</strong></a>. That's her in between Hellz mastermind Lanie and Hellz marketing whiz Brittany. They were set to party. But they're always dressed that perfectly anyway.</p>
<p><a href="../../../../hellz-bellz" target="_self" title="HELLZ"><img src="../../../../../../media/awp/Blog/10-08-26_11.jpg" border="0" alt="Moxsie Las Vegas Magic August 2010" width="450" height="600" style="margin-left: 75px; margin-right: 75px; border: 0;" /></a></p>
<p>Y'know, it's just not a trip to Vegas without getting married. Okay, actually, it's still a trip to Vegas, just without the remorse. Here's one of the Paris chapels!</p>
<p><img src="../../../../../../media/awp/Blog/10-08-26_12.jpg" border="0" alt="Moxsie Las Vegas Magic August 2010" width="450" height="600" style="margin-left: 75px; margin-right: 75px; border: 0;" /></p>
<p>And finally, something I hold near and dear to my heart (but no one else in the office does), bad gangster rap. We didn't make it to the XXL party, but I couldn't leave the building without a picture with the poster.</p>
<p><img src="../../../../../../media/awp/Blog/10-08-26_13.jpg" border="0" alt="Moxsie Las Vegas Magic August 2010" width="600" height="450" style="border: 0;" /></p>
<p>Oh yeah, no one from the MOXSIE team got married. Maybe next MAGIC.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[MAGIC the Recapping]]></title>
      <link>http://shop.moxsie.com/blog/magic-the-recapping</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Last week the worlds of fashion, retail, marketing, editorial, and...lots of people descended upon Vegas for the semi-annual MAGIC trade show. It's a busy time. Spanning multiple hotels and multiple conventions centers, there's a lot of heat and a lot of clothing, shoes, bags, and accessories.</p>
<p>It was Mayka from Marketing's first fashion trade show, so we assigned her with the task of capturing all the happenings of Las Vegas in one big recap. The recap got so big she had to split it up. Here's part one.</p>
<p><img src="../../../../../../media/awp/Blog/10-08-25_01.jpg" border="0" alt="Moxsie Las Vegas Magic August 2010" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p>It's fun playing "Spot the MOXSIE" in crowds. We caught one sales rep wearing <a href="../../../../../../matiko" target="_blank" title="Matiko"><strong>Matikos</strong></a>.</p>
<p><a href="../../../../../../matiko" target="_self" title="Matiko"><img src="../../../../../../media/awp/Blog/10-08-25_02.jpg" border="0" alt="Moxsie Las Vegas Magic August 2010" width="450" height="600" style="margin-left: 75px; margin-right: 75px;" /></a></p>
<p><img src="../../../../../../media/awp/Blog/10-08-25_03.jpg" border="0" alt="Moxsie Las Vegas Magic August 2010" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p><img src="../../../../../../media/awp/Blog/10-08-25_04.jpg" border="0" alt="Moxsie Las Vegas Magic August 2010" width="450" height="600" style="margin-left: 75px; margin-right: 75px;" /></p>
<p><img src="../../../../../../media/awp/Blog/10-08-25_05.jpg" border="0" alt="Moxsie Las Vegas Magic August 2010" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p><img src="../../../../../../media/awp/Blog/10-08-25_06.jpg" border="0" alt="Moxsie Las Vegas Magic August 2010" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p>Trade shows prove to be the perfect place to learn more about brands from the people who know them best. <a href="../../../../../../ateliers-arthur" target="_self" title="Ateliers Arthur"><strong>Ateliers Arthur's</strong></a> designer hails from South Africa!</p>
<p><a href="../../../../../../ateliers-arthur" target="_self" title="Ateliers Arthur"><img src="../../../../../../media/awp/Blog/10-08-25_07.jpg" border="0" alt="Moxsie Las Vegas Magic August 2010" width="600" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>You also get to touch base with people you've only got e-relationships with. (You know, e-relationships? Communicating solely through email, Twitter, Facebook...) The <a href="../../../../../../hellz-bellz" target="_self" title="Hellz"><strong>Hellz</strong></a> crew is always a source of inspiration in the simple art of dressing and inciting creativity.</p>
<p><a href="../../../../../../hellz-bellz" target="_self" title="Hellz"><img src="../../../../../../media/awp/Blog/10-08-25_08.jpg" border="0" alt="Moxsie Las Vegas Magic August 2010" width="450" height="600" style="margin-left: 75px; margin-right: 75px;" /></a></p>
<p>It's great to say we've got actual friends in the industry! Whattup, <a href="http://www.mahfia.com" target="_blank" title="MAHFIA">Mahfia</a> and <a href="http://www.sosupersam.com" target="_blank" title="Sosupersam">Sosupersam</a>!</p>
<p><img src="../../../../../../media/awp/Blog/10-08-25_09.jpg" border="0" alt="Moxsie Las Vegas Magic August 2010" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p><img src="../../../../../../media/awp/Blog/10-08-25_10.jpg" border="0" alt="Moxsie Las Vegas Magic August 2010" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p><img src="../../../../../../media/awp/Blog/10-08-25_11.jpg" border="0" alt="Moxsie Las Vegas Magic August 2010" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p>Easily my favorite photo of the week! (I keep wanting to call it "the weekend.") I have to be completely honest, I was hesitant at first, but <a href="../../../../../../native-shoes" target="_self" title="Native Shoes"><strong>Native Shoes</strong></a> ended up saving my feet after tons and tons of walking.</p>
<p><a href="../../../../../../native-shoes" target="_self" title="Native Shoes"><img src="../../../../../../media/awp/Blog/10-08-25_12.jpg" border="0" alt="Moxsie Las Vegas Magic August 2010" width="600" height="400" /></a></p>
<p><img src="../../../../../../media/awp/Blog/10-08-25_13.jpg" border="0" alt="Moxsie Las Vegas Magic August 2010" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p>It's such a tease to look at all the designs at such an early stage in production. The collections on display last week were actually for Spring/Summer 2011. That's too far away! I just wanted to buy everything! Particularly everything by <a href="../../../../../../miss-wax" target="_self" title="Miss Wax"><strong>Miss Wax</strong></a>:</p>
<p><a href="../../../../../../miss-wax" target="_self" title="Miss Wax"><img src="../../../../../../media/awp/Blog/10-08-25_14.jpg" border="0" alt="Moxsie Las Vegas Magic August 2010" width="450" height="600" style="margin-left: 75px; margin-right: 75px;" /></a></p>
<p>Really excited that there are brands out there on a mission to propagate comfort! <a href="../../../../../../oetzi3300" target="_self" title="OeTZI3300"><strong>OeTZI3300</strong></a> is the new Birkenstock:</p>
<p><a href="../../../../../../oetzi3300" target="_self" title="OeTZI3300"><img src="../../../../../../media/awp/Blog/10-08-25_15.jpg" border="0" alt="Moxsie Las Vegas Magic August 2010" width="600" height="450" /></a></p>
<p>It wouldn't be a Mayka post without a mention of food. Here you go:</p>
<p><img src="../../../../../../media/awp/Blog/10-08-25_16.jpg" border="0" alt="Moxsie Las Vegas Magic August 2010" width="450" height="600" style="margin-left: 75px; margin-right: 75px;" /></p>
<p>Las Vegas was absolutely a lot of fun. Stay tuned for more pics, including more of MOXSIE staff after hours. (Dun dun dun...)</p>]]></description>
