Current Collection Facebook Album

2012-01-12T09:46:00.000-08:00

(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 Corner - Spring w/a Moxie Buyer

2011-04-06T14:00:00.000-07:00

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)

Lastly check out some of our other Spring shoes and accessories below! I look forward to seeing you all at our stores soon! Enjoy & Happy Spring. P.S. Did you know we've been offering special deals on our Facebook and Twitter? Check us out www.facebook.com/moxieboston and twitter: moxieboston.

Winter In Wellesley

2011-02-08T18:21:00.000-08:00

February already! Where have the months gone?

It was a busy and rewarding holiday season for Moxie. We enjoyed hearing about your holidays, your New Year's Resolutions and your plans for 2011.

There was a true sense of spirit & joy during the holiday season. The streets glowed with festive lights, songs of carolers and a feeling of community and harmony. As we settle into our second year on Church Street it is evident how this town is filled with generous, supportive residents and businesses. We are delighted to be a part of it!

Sharing our Fall/Winter collections with our new friends was a rush. We introduced new warm, cozy Jack Rogers boots & mocs (yes they are more than just sandals), we all loved the new Oryany sequin handbags and the cutest-in-the-world Baby Bloch flats. As we buckle down for a bit more snow, a few more cold nights and huge deals on our winter styles we look forward to Spring.

Ahhh Spring - our favorite season! After a long winter is there any better feeling than a pedicure, red toes, new sandals, pumps with peeps, wedges with bows and the promise of beach days to come. We are giddy with anticipation. Look for new designers and styles that will resonate with our savvy customers. House of Harlow, Leifsdottir, and See by Chloe are just a few of the new designers you can expect. Get ready for bold, bright colors, the softest leathers and the perfect accessories to complete your warmer weather wardrobes.

As always we thank you for your loyalty, friendship and support. Hears to another happy, healthy and stylish year from our family to yours!

Now bring on Spring!

Moxie Wins Best of Boston!

2010-08-11T17:48:00.001-07:00

What amazing news that Moxie received a Best of Boston award from Boston Magazine. We won for our fabulous Wellesley store in the "Best of the 'burbs, Wellesley" category. And we were tickled that our Beacon Hill store got a shout-out in the write-up as well.

This October Moxie celebrates 9 years in business. Can you believe it? I can't. When I opened the first store (in a small walk-up at 73 Charles Street) I had recently left an enjoyable and successful career in the high-tech public relations field. I had taken the time off to figure out my next career move. I thought creative writing and/or acting were my next gigs until one conversation with a friend who owned a clothing store changed everything for me.

I fell in love with the idea of store ownership. I was already in love with my neighborhood (Beacon Hill) and already in love with shoes, bags and accessories. And what I lacked in retail knowledge I made up for in blind enthusiasm. So planning began, buying began, build-out began. And the doors opened.

9 years ago.

Today we are two stores filled with choice lines of gorgeous merchandise. We are a team of smart, vivacious, wonderful women who enjoy working together and bringing smiles to our customers' faces. We are stores where our guests feel at home, where dogs get cookies, where kids play dress up and legos and where women look (and more importantly) feel beautiful.

In 9 years I've had two children, worked on many amazing charities, formed close friendships with colleagues, talked with oodles of fellow shoe-lovers and built a brand. And I am thankful every day for these experiences.

I can't wait to see what the next 9 years will bring.

MOM by Emma Hastings

2010-05-25T11:43:00.000-07:00

Another wonderful Mom of the Day submission. "Mom" was written by 9-year-old Emma Hastings for her mother Lisa.

(Wouldn't you just melt if your child wrote this about YOU? I would.)

MOM
by Emma Hastings

Mom,
you are as busy as a bee
you are as fast as a ladybug
you are as caring as a quilt
you are as gentle as a butterfly
you are as lovable as a heart
you are as soft as a pillow
you are as warm as a blanket
you are as sweet as a pie
you are as pretty as a dress

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Submitted by Mandy Lipka:

A quarter-century ago, a drunk driver in a truck collided head-on with my mother’s car on her way to pick up a Dunkin’ Donuts coffee for my grandmother. Having suffered broken ribs among other critical injuries, Mom was immediately rushed to the hospital. She was nearly six months pregnant.

In a whirlwind, mom went into surgery and when she recovered, doctors advised her to abort the child she was carrying for fear of it lacking a quality of life. Mom steadfastly refused despite not knowing how she would pay for any impending medical bills or how to care for an ill baby at the young age of 21. It was the single-most influential decision she ever made. Two weeks later, I was born three months premature. She spent the following six months in the hospital with me and hasn’t left my side since.

Now, 25 years later, I’m alive, healthy and given a wonderful quality of life-- all thanks to her honor. For the first 16 years of my life, mom served as both mother and father. She made her way up the ranks in her career as a secretary to a high-powered management position in a booming industry and economy. Through her hard work, the company received several certifications and awards. If she wasn’t accepting awards, she was out buying hundreds of dollars worth of toys during the holidays for children in need or setting up fundraisers for battered women shelters. She flourished as the epitome of feminine independence.

Despite the stress of work and making ends meet, mom’s courage and determination never wavered. I never wanted for anything. She made absolute sure that she was there whenever I needed her. It was easy to confide in her and talk about becoming a woman with her as she became my best friend.

One of her greatest goals in life was to see me graduate college. Three years ago on mother’s day, I graduated from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University, a dream she made a reality. During those four years, we suffered many trials and tribulations, as every family does. But if it weren’t for her strength of character, our family could’ve easily unraveled.

Today, she is providing that same sense of stability and comfort to my grandmother who’s been battling esophageal cancer for the past year. Mom felt the brunt of the disease as the primary caretaker, but transformed into an incredible nurse.

After a grueling year of economical and emotional turmoil, she kept focus on family and never lost her cool during incredibly tumultuous times. She’s constantly placing the needs of others above her own. For once, I’d love to see her get pampered. After all, she’s the glue that holds our family together and she’ll never know how much she means to each of us. She risked it all for my happiness and care, never once feeling sorry for herself. Now she’s sacrificing it all for her mother. I’d just like to take this opportunity to thank her for being the wonderful woman she is in this world. Please honor my mother, Peggy Notaro, with this gift.

Rock Your Shoebootie!!!

2009-11-11T12:46:00.000-08:00

I know blog fans, it's been too long. But the Moxie girls have been busy-bees. With two stores, a plethora of private and public events (including an upcoming Fashionably Late with Cibeline at the Liberty Hotel on November 19), soooo many good shoes, bags and accessories to buy for you, we've fallen off the blog wagon. But no more neglecting YOU, our faithful readers.

It's time for the Moxie girls to get their new media on! Although I have gotten a bit Twitter crazy (follow my uber-stylish, and somewhat funny musings @moxieboston). But I return to the blog and kick off the season with -- Shoebootie Mania! (pronounced "Sha-booty" - sounds great when repeated quickly to music...). Rock on.

So why do we Shoebootie? Here are the top 5 reasons:

1. Shoebooties are versatile. Skinny jeans, short skirts, leggings, etc. The shoebootie can handle it!

2. Shoebooties never tell you your calves are too big...or too small.

3. Shoebooties with tights and a short dress make your legs look amazing!

4. Shoebooties come in all shapes and colors -- some even have peep toes.

5. Shoebooties can be shoes or booties - perfect for the recessionista!

I admit that since I've discovered this season's shoebooties my pumps are feeling a bit neglected. Not to worry my skinny-heeled babes I'll return to you once I get this craze out of my system.

In the meantime let me tell you about my new favorite. She's gorgeous! She's super-high, has a hidden platform, luxe snake embossed, and she's made by Loeffler Randall (goddess!). Her name is Yvette and I love her!

Still not sure the shoebootie's for you? Come on in to our Boston or Wellesley stores and try some on yourselves. You won't regret it. You may even start rockin'. Really. I promise! XOXO, Karen.

Wellesley gets its own Moxie store - Wellesley, MA - The Wellesley Townsman

Posted using ShareThis

Extra, Extra, Read All About It!!!

2009-05-25T18:09:00.000-07:00

We know it's been too long since we've shared our news with you, our Moxie fans. We've been so busy getting the new store opened, planning and then recovering from our fantastically successful Grand Opening Party, hosting private shopping parties for some fantastic fashionistas, buying for next season...and the list goes on and on. But we wanted to share some of the amazing moments with you. So read on for some of our wonderful Wellesley press coverage.

First up thank you to Kate Bouwer and Fashion Boston for such an amazing article in their April 2009 issue. My interview with Kate was one of the highlights of my press experiences. For those who haven't discovered FB yet this is a go-to publication for all the latest Fashion News in Boston and beyond. A special shout-out to Editor in Chief, Alexandra Hall for continuing to spread the love of all things beautiful. And a big hug and kiss to her patient husband, Mike, who parties like a rock star.

Another huge highlight of our Wellesley press coverage comes from the fabulous Rachel Baker and Boston Magazine. Her May Taking Inventory page featured styles from Moxie and includes information about and a photo of the new store.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Boston Magazine:

Taking Inventory: The Other Shoe Drops
Beacon Hill footwear boutique Moxie steps into the suburbs.
By Rachel Baker

OUR FAVORITE ITEM A departure for the usually classic Tory Burch, these slingbacks with oversize rhinestone embellishments ($425) are more glam than preppy.

WHAT'S SELLING BEST These shimmery linen sandals by cult brand Loeffler Randall ($595) are versatile, with a kick.

COVETED BY THE SHOP CLERK With a devastating heel and luxe rosette accents, the Pandora pumps by up-and-comer Jerome C. Rousseau ($795) make Louboutins seem old hat.

THE LOWDOWN After outfitting the feet of shoppers in Beacon Hill for seven years, Moxie boutique owner Karen Fabbri is taking her footwear fetish west, opening a second location in Wellesley. The girly, 1,000-square-foot shoe parlor—designed by Charles Street neighbor Kristine Irving of Koo de Kir—will house a similarly well-edited selection of pumps, flats, and boots, many of which will be area exclusives, including Tory Burch, Cynthia Vincent, and Loeffler Randall. And on the handbag front, Rafe and Kooba will join an already-stellar roster of favorite brands like Foley + Corinna and Botkier.

Moxie, 24 Church St., Wellesley, 781-235-1833, moxieboston.com

We are open!...And we look Mahhhvalous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With Bated Breathe...

2009-03-17T17:45:00.000-07:00

The paint is on the walls, the floors are finished, the merchandise lies in wait in the boxes...and Moxie Wellesley is getting closer to opening its doors to the public. And while Kristen and I have been busy organizing, buying, PR-ing, planning, etc. I have dropped the ball on the blogging. Imagine my elation when I had a Moxie Blog follower request an update. Thank you kind follower for your support! So here goes - a new blog from the crazy, creative, little-bit-sleepy world of the Moxie gals.

We are in L-O-V-E, love, love, love. Oh, don't worry hubbies and boyfriends, we haven't found newer models to capture our affections. We've found new shoes and bags! With the changing of the seasons comes the changes of the fashions. I mean really, why else do we voluntarily live in New England?

And with each new season comes boxes full of delights. Each day is like Chrismakuh when the UPS man comes a'callin. Soooooo, who are we loving now? Why Loeffler Randall, of course. Check out these gorgeous ruffled sandals! They are feminine, flirty and look spectacular with jeans and dresses alike. Pair them with a bright-colored Foley and Corinna bag and you're ready for your close-up!

And in this tough economy dressing up your current wardrobe with a gorgeous pair of shoes or a spectacular bag can really stretch your dollar (and breathe new life into those jeans you bought last year which cost you a fortune...).

So come visit us at Moxie on Charles Street in Beacon Hill and soon on Church Street in Wellesley and see these little gems for yourself. Oh, and watch for our new Loeffler email to hit your mailboxes soon.

XOXO,

Karen, Kristen and all the Moxie gals!

Vegas Recap...

2009-02-22T09:51:00.000-08:00

Hello All,

Well we returned from Vegas and needed a week to recover from all of the fun and hard work (really, we worked...). Kristen and I enjoyed walking the show and found some truly beautiful shoes for you all to enjoy next fall. Sadly, however, the show was noticeably quieter than previous years and many retailers and vendors alike are concerned about the economy.

Ever the optimists, Kristen and I kept our chins up, our wine glasses full and our gaming hands busy. Some highlights of our trip included meeting Wolfgang Puck at his Postrio restaurant, sharing dinner and drinks with my brother, Steven and sister-in-law Kelly and my wonderful Mother, Laura at both Koi (favorite restaurant ever) and Dos Caminos.

We tried our hands at the slot machines. Kristen enjoyed playing the ever-riveting "Gold Fish" while I prefered to flit about at the various dollar machines. The Palazzo, Venetian, Mirage and Planet Hollywould are very happy about my donation! We also had some good times sitting at Three Card Poker and meeting all kinds of fun (and weird) people.

Once we sort through the various shoe pictures I'll post some of our faves here for you all to see. In the meantime think Spring!

Cha-ching, cha-ching. XOXO.

Vegas Action

2009-02-11T17:19:00.000-08:00

We've arrived in Vegas! Yea! I've already lost money at the slots, spent money at Barney's and Tory Burch and am in the room preparing to spend more money at a wonderful dinner at Lavo. Budget be damned (that's a message for my husband who is trying to put me on a budget...much like lassoing a horse with a rubber band, pretty impossible!).

Hey look, there I am losing $20. Woo-hoo!

After that fun gambling excursion we retired to our room where Kristen proceeded to try on all of my shoes. Watching her little size 7 feet trip around in my 5-inch high size 9 gold Diors was quite an experience. And I particularly loved when she tried on my FABULOUS bejeweled Miu Miu flats and exclaimed, "Now I wouldn't eat for 1 week to have these." So either she's eating too much or I have to pay her more.

Can't wait to see what kind of trouble we get into tonight. Keeping our eyes peeled for shoe-people we might know (some we'll embrace, some we'll run from -- but no naming names!).

Tomorrow we're up bright and early for the show and we'll let you know what we find.

Send me your lucky numbers and I'll put some money on the roulette table for you!

XOXO,

Gambling Moxie Girl (and Kristen)

Hot Ride!

2009-02-10T09:46:00.000-08:00

Here at Moxie we are single-handedly trying to save the economy. Yes, folks we are doing our part to reignite the economic engines. As such we have just procured our first company car! Check out this sweet ride. What it lacks in size it makes up for in shear cuteness. And just wait until we get it lettered in a "just-so" purple color. I haven't even mentioned the great fuel efficiency...go green, go, go!

So look for us zipping around town between Boston and our soon-to-be-opened Wellesley store. We'll be shuttling all kinds of goodies for you to enjoy. Toot-toot.

Cute Moxie Baby Shout Out...

2009-02-09T11:26:00.001-08:00

And today's cutest Moxie baby award goes to...Cooper! He was such a champ and slept for Mom's Moxie visit today. And Dad, if you're reading this Cooper really thinks Mom would look great in these strappy Theory shoes. Phyllis, Kristen and I hope you two had a great time at the Children's Museum.

Moxie Moms - keep a look out for your baby to appear in our Baby Shout Out section! XOXO, Karen

Spring a ding a ding dong!

2009-02-09T08:04:00.000-08:00

I don't know about you but I was thrilled and delighted by this past weekend's Boston weather. Finally we saw temps above 50 degrees and lots of sunshine (sigh...). I even moved away from my fave winter nail color (Lincoln Park after Dark) to a lighter, redder shade. This is all in preparation for the Moxie buying trip to Vegas.

Kris and I board a plane bright and early Wednesday morning and head to Sin City. With Vegas temps in the 60s open toe shoes WILL be worn. I am looking foward to seeing my new pedi-color with the beautiful (just arrived) Cynthia Vincent shoes pictured here. Ladies, you don't have to wait until our weather totally turns before perusing our gorgeous spring shoes. Open toe shoes can be worn in the freezing cold. Just make sure your limo picks you up! XOXO!

Moxie Gets Bloggie!

2009-02-08T08:39:00.000-08:00

Hello Moxie Ladies (and Gentlemen)!

We have entered the happy land of blogging and are revved up to share our love of designer shoes, bags and accessories with you, our favorite fans.

If you are new to Moxie, here's the story:

Moxie is the creative brainchild of owner Karen Fabbri (that's me, your fearless blogger). I started the store 7 years ago on Charles Street in Boston's Beacon Hill. Having no previous retail experience myself (other than being an excellent shopper), it was a ballsy move that took a lot of "Moxie." I opened with a love for shoes, a love for my neighborhood (as I also live in Beacon Hill) and a love of connecting with people. That love has spanned the last 7 years and grown into an even greater passion to share Moxie's findings with stylish, strong, beautiful women of all sizes, with all types of experiences and from all backgrounds.

Moxie has grown over the years. We inhabit a bigger space than our original and we are filled with contemporary designer shoe and handbag lines. Our current favorites include Marc by Marc Jacobs, Tory Burch, Delman, Foley & Corrinna, Hayden-Harnett and many more (some new ones which I'll share with you soon).

So stay tuned for more updates, style secrets and crazy Moxie stories (my manager/buyer Kristen and I head to Vegas on Wednesday for shoe-show. What happens in Vegas...).

Love you. XOXO.
