Forget that it’s freezing and snowy outside, here at Miz Mooz spring has sprung!  Make sure to check out our great new styles online, and head over to our Facebook page to see all the shots from our look book!

You may think that here in Miz Mooz land all we do is make shoes, and while it certainly feels that way most of the time, we do other super fun things too!  Here’s a smattering of what we’re getting up to in 2012:

Running  And not in some short lived New Years resolution sort of way, but in a fancy training watch wearing, early morning in the freezing cold, jumping over piles of snow type way.  We’re members of New York Road Runners,  and are going to be running races all year and- fingers crossed- the NYC Marathon in November!

Reading I have an ever increasing stack of books  waiting to be read, and am looking forward to spending snowy winter weekends getting to the bottom if it.  The newest addition is Swamplandia! by Karen Russell, which is about a family of Alligator wrestlers.  Enough said!

Eating  2011 saw the addition of two bakers to the team, so we’re looking forward to the dueling cookies and cupcakes in the office, and the weekly Bake-Off that I have so generously offered to judge.

Listening I’m warming up my vocal cords for the enthusiastic singalongs that will be happening when my most anticipated new albums of 2012 drop.  My indie darlings Chairlift, The Magnetic Fields, Guided by Voices (yes, you read that right!), and Andrew Bird‘s are the ones I’m most looking forward to.  Cheers!

Keep your mother appropriately hip and stylish this year in a pair of Miz Mooz.  Excellent gifting- just another one of your talents she’ll want to brag about!

Today’s giftee: Mom

Today’s gift: Francine, a subtly chic pump in retro patent, with a wonderful, walkable heel.

Is there a rule breaker on your list?  A gal who laughs in the face of antiquated fashion rules, and flaunts her winter whites well after labor day?  Do we have a gift for her!

Today’s giftee: The rule breaking fashionista

Today’s gift: Posh, a gorgeous ice leather boot with faux fur trim, so very apres ski!

Are you wishing for a pair of Miz Mooz shoes this holiday season?  Head on over to our Facebook page, and your wish just might be granted!

The end of my holiday shopping is in sight!  I have one more gift to buy, and it’s for me!   Because I’ve been super most of the year, I’m treating myself to a pair of the September, which I’ll be sporting this weekend when I get my Christmas tree!  The holiday theme at my house  is a rustic winter wonderland- think cozy cabin in the woods and Pendelton blankets.   Also, pinecones!   My apartment is full of D.I.Y. sparkly pinecones.   Anyway, in keeping with that look, I’m wearing my new Septembers to chop down a tree all lumberjack-like lug a pre-chopped tree from the stand on the corner!  Then I’ll make hot toddys and eat popcorn balls and decorate my tree with the aforementioned sparkly pinecones and wait for Santa.  I suggest you do the same!

Today’s giftee: You!

Today’s gift: September, works equally well with flannel and sparkle!

You share everything with your BFF, now share some Miz Mooz!  Word to the wise- if the only thing you and your bestie don’t share is a shoe size, better get a pair for yourself too!

Today’s giftee: Your bestest friend forever.

Today’s gift: Sabrina, stay trendy, toasty, and animal friendly in this faux shearling lined bootie.  Bonus, the Sabrina received the Oprah stamp of approval!

Making the transition from collegiate dressing to workplace appropriate attire can be a drag!  Who wants to trade in their comfy coed uniform for stuffy boring office clothes?!  Banish the sneakers and help the recent grad in your life put her best foot forward in a new pair of shoes!

Today’s giftee: New hires and interns.

Today’s gift: Lacey, full of character in bright cobalt, yet refined enough to keep the HR department happy, and super comfortable- she’ll still have a spring in her step after the 5th coffe run!

I’m taking a break from gift guiding to share some exciting news- we’re huge in Australia!  The Aussies love us, and in that spirit I suggest you make yourself a snack of Vegimite and Tim Tams and see if you can spot the Miz Mooz in this coverage from down under!

Grandma, Nana, Gammy, Bubbie, Dragon Lady…it doesn’t matter what you call them- grandmas are the best!  Show yours how much you love her this year with some Miz Mooz.

Today’s giftee:  Grandma

Today’s gift:  Parry, with lovely contrast trim on a sensible low heel, in the Parry Grandma will be the best dressed gal at Bingo!
