The Power of Accessories

At Moxie we truly believe in the power of accessories! Some of our friends don't understand our bursting closets full of different shoes, handbags, and jewelry, but we don't understand closets full of dresses mostly worn only once or twice! We realize the desire for a new outfit every time you have an event (we are female after all), but we'd love to show you ways to wear what you have, save some cash by eliminating that unnecessary new dress, and use accessories to your advantage.

We're willing to bet you already have this (of some version of this) LBD. It can look like a thousand different outfits depending on how you style it. We promise your crew will never know you wore it to your last get-together. Here is one dress, worn 4 different ways.

Clockwise from bottom left: Rachel Zoe "Laura" flats, Gerard Yosca bangles, Rebecca Minkoff "Mini MAC" clutch, Marcia Moran earrings, Chan Luu earrings, RED Valentino ruffled clutch, Alice & Olicia "Juliet" wedges.

Go from day to night by simply swapping your accessories!

Clockwise from bottom left: Delman "Falon" flats, Gerard Yosca necklace, Tory Burch clutch, Rachel Zoe clutch, Mickey Lynn bracelets, Gerard Yosca ring, Bettye Muller "Katy" wedges.

Step up before you step out!

Give us a call if you see something you love! All the accessories above are available at our store. Happy Summer!



XOXO,
Kaylie

Color Pop!



Spring is here and we are craving color!  Our stores are filled to the brim with sandals, jewelry, handbags and more that will make your outfits pop. 

Not sure how to incorporate color into your winter-weary wardrobe?  Here are some easy, affordable ideas:
  • Throw a whimsical scarf over your basic tees and sweaters to brighten your look.  Or tie one onto your basic black bag to be spring-chic!  (scarf shown here: $35)
  • Pair your capris, leggings and skinny jeans with a fun jelly sandal.  These new color combos from Jack Rogers make us smile.  They are perfect for a casual day around town or a day on the beach.  Water-proof, stylish and only $68!
  • Adorn your soon-to-be-tanned arms with gorgeous bangle bracelets.  These enamel options from Gerard Yosca are a piece of art!  Wear one alone or pair it with other pieces in your jewelry drawer.  However you wear them you will make a statement.  ($100 each).

Current Collection Facebook Album

(As we experienced often this past holiday season), we know some of our awesome customers who live in different cities and states across the country are sometimes bummed that our website isn't set up to shop or see our full collection. That's why Karen, Kristen, Kaylie and Kaitlin got together at our last management meeting and decided to make a bigger effort to keep our loyal custies informed of our current collection via posting complete albums on Facebook! Check out our very first complete album- it highlights our shoes from the tail end of Holiday/Resort through our newest arrivals for Spring.

We're still a little ways away from e-commerce but luckily it's very easy to call either one of our stores where the Moxie Girls will be glad to check on size and availability of your faves. As far as jewely and accessories go, we'll be sure to highlight our best sellers and new arrivals but there might be just a FEW too many stackable rings and hair clips to keep up!!! That's when you can call (617.557.9991 / 781.235.1833) or e-mail any of us (our first name@moxieboston.com) with what you're looking for. We love texting and e-mailing pics to you!

For now, here's a pic of MY favorite shoe from the resort season:
Tory Burch "Fabian" $195

Kristen's Favorite Winter Trends

B l a c k  and  G o l d

Classic meets edgy with Brian Atwood’s stunning black and gold pump.
Rebecca Minkoff “Swing” bag $395, B by Brian Atwood “Frederique” black suede pumps w/ gold detail $325, Black and gold enamel bangles $12 each, Chan Luu Black Onyx drop earrings $130, Tory Burch “Robinson Zip Continental” wallet $225, Chan Luu layered gold and pyrite feather necklace $380, Feather hair accessory $16
We are loving this black and gold palette! Bold yet classic, day to night, these timeless accessories can be paired with the little black dress for a chic sophisticated look, tie together a patterned or sequin dress, or edge up a distressed jean and t-shirt night, which is my personal fave!

*****STARRY NIGHT*****
 Brian Atwood’s Liese steals the show.
Paired with opaque tights or black skinny jeans = Perfection
Hammitt "Director" clutch $325, B by Brian Atwood “Liese” peep toe silver sparkle bootie $350, Sayami Cashmere Squiggle Scarf $120, Chan Luu Graduated Swarvoski Earrings $195, Silver CZ stretch bracelet $45, Medusa’s Heirlooms “Vera” flower barrette $22
I can’t get enough of my pair of Liese peep toe booties. I also can’t wear them without getting 100 compliments! The perfect party shoe! Paired with a more neutral palette Liese does all the talking. Amazing with a little black skirt and charcoal half tucked button down with this stunning long Marcia Moran druzy pendant necklace and Chan Luu silver drop earrings, you are ready to go! These silvery textured metallic accessories are winter soiree staples, especially this cozy cashmere Sayami NY scarf (available in multiple colors!) Come by Moxie & check out our new Hammitt bags- this is my favorite black clutch right now, fits everything you need and such a chic alternative to the traditional envelope with a touch of edge tossed in with Hammitt’s signature stud detail.


WINTER GLOW
Frederique surprises us again. This time, in glitter cork.
B by Brian Atwood “Frederique” $325, Sayami Cashmere Squiggle Scarf $120, Sayami Cashmere gloves $42, Marcia Moran Oval druzy ring $270, Medusa’s Heirlooms hair accessories $20-$45,  Chan Luu Three Drop Earring $295, Gold CZ stretch bracelet $45, Grayce by Molly Simms layered necklace $395
This warm palette brings sun kissed memories of summer into our snowy winter days. The Moxie girls have fallen in love with yet again another one of Brian Atwood’s stars, Frederique. The classic pump he designed for every girl now has a new twist: glitter cork. This unique texture combined with rose gold glitter is the most unique neutral pump I’ve seen yet. It is a fabulous alternative to the nude patent pump which we saw so much of last season. The new texture  stands out but compliments its other Frederique friends quite nicely on the shelves of Moxie (this style can also be found in black patent, black suede with gold as seen above, as well as purple suede). Shimmer & glow at your winter parties in these fabulous accessories combined with a cocktail dress or perhaps some light gold sequin shorts, tights, and a cream button up!

Thank you for reading about some of my favorites at Moxie this season! Many more entries to come! Cheers!

Kristen's Corner - Spring w/a Moxie Buyer

Spring is here! I love this time of year when everything changes including the wardrobe. This Spring at Moxie, we are excited to introduce many new fabulous designers and embrace chic Spring trends. What follows are a few of my favorites:


70's Inspired: I'm loving Kors by Michael Kors' "Dorothy" ($275) cork-bottom platform sandal. Kors designed an easy way to embrace the 70's spirit for Spring/Summer. It looks fashion-forward with wide-leg pants/jeans and flowery, peasant style tops. Or try with a cream/off-white dress (another fabulous trend - lots of nudes/whites) and a color pop of jewelry and neutral clutch. These sandals are comfortable and fun and can be dressed up or down to make a head-turning statement!


Tory Burch Rattan Clutch ($275), Vanessa Mooney Bracelets ($12.95-$18) & Necklace ($210), Pacific Blue Scarf ($45), KORS by Michael Kors "Dorothy" ($275)

Sophisticated Party Chic: I have fallen for our new Badgley Mischka "Dreamy" ($225) heels in nude. This is our Sex and the City shoe, without a doubt! Paired with a little black dress or lively print these are by far my favorite party shoe of the season - and the best part is that they go with everything. Truly a dream!


Chan Luu Scarf $210, Tory Burch Envelope Clutch $275, Grayce by Molly Simms Necklace $495, Earrings $195, Deepa Gurnani Headband $75, Badgley Mischka "Dreamy" $225


Color Block: We've embraced the trend with Leifsdottir's "Ilona" wooden platform sandal ($328). I adore this two-tone creation! Leifsdottir graces our shelves this season with their stand-out new shoe collection. Chic, sophisticated and so very unique, "the Ilona," can be dressed up or down and is perfect to punctuate a casual day to eve look .




Tory Burch Saffiano Continental Clutch Wallet ($225), Chan Luu Silk & Cashmere Scarf ($245), Vanessa Mooney Earrings ($120), Chan Luu Stackable Bracelets ($110) & Necklace ($280), Leifsdottir "Ilona" ($328)
