Farylrobin on LuckyMag.com's "Ebay Obsessed" Blog!

LuckyMag.com, Lucky Magazine’s HIGHLY read web site, today features Farylrobin on one of their blogs. Contributing editor, Jennifer Romolini, writes the “Ebay Obsessed” blog for the site and is also clearly Farylrobin obsessed! In the blog, she talks about how excited she is that so many great pairs of Farylrobin shoes have just hit the eBay scene. She mentions that Farylrobin is one of her favorite shoe lines because they’re comfortable, unique looking and chic in that “I-care-about-clothes-but-not-too-much way.” We think we might be Jennifer Romolini obsessed! She rocks.

Farylrobin Featured on Today Show

Oops! NBC’s Today Show goofed! On today’s ‘Summer Styles’ fashion segment hosted by Essence Magazine, the model featured in the “Garden Variety” look was wearing a pair of the amazing Farylrobin Wendy goddess sandals but it was credited to another brand – eek! If you saw the segment, and like the shoes, they can be purchased at Shopbop.com ($189), as well as at many other retailers around the country.

If you want to see how great the Wendy looked on this morning’s Today Show segment, you can click here. Look for the “Garden Variety” look: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/24274591#24274591

The Farylrobin Mouseketeers!

Over the past couple weeks, two fellow farylrobins have left the coop to visit the magical world of Disney. Devin went for his little brother KJ's bday and Jim went the following week with his wife and kids. Disney is definitely a family experience...and you would think by this photo, the whole farylrobin family would have made the trip to Disney! No, we didn't all go to Disney World. We have shoes to sell!! But Jim and Devin did bring back souvenirs.

We all wore our Mickey Mouse ears for Theresa's birthday celebration today in the office.  Please note that Donna is known as "Princess Donna" in the office so the tiara and ears definitely suit her!  Devin didn't buy any ears so he made himself some!  I think they should start selling a hat like that at Disney World.  Anyway.... here is the birthday girl with her Mouseketeers!  Happy Birthday Theresa!  We luv you!

Nordstrom at Aventura Mall!

Saturday march 29th I had the honor of working with Ashley and her team at the brand new Nordstrom’s store in the Aventura mall. This store is gorgeous!!!!! I had a really great time. Smart Water supplied the drinks. We started the day with a slide presentation and as far as I could tell, nobody fell asleep and it was early! This event was particularly nice for me because I got to spend some time with my parents and some long lost NY friends (you know who you are). Ok, I concede-the weather in Florida totally kicks NY’s weather in the butt. Anyway, Julia and I spent the day speaking with customers and staff and we learned a lot. I am tremendously grateful for the support and kindness EVERYBODY on the floor showed Julia and I. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Here are some of the photo’s….look at all the guys selling shoes!

From B.C. to Bloomingdales, the Warrior is Eternal!

On March 8th, Alex and I went to the MET to see the blog.mode fashion exhibit and the Jasper Johns: Gray exhibit.   It was pouring rain that day, so it was nice to spend an entire day in the museum.  Throughout the day, Alex and I discovered that we are wanna be art critic buddies!  

After the blog.mode exhibit, we were heading to the Jasper Johns exhibit and went through a room of old clocks which we had to look at.... This gold clock really stood out.  Alex and I were staring at it, when Alex exclaimed, "That looks like the warrior sandal we have in the Spring 08 collection!"  At that moment we had a revelation to find more representations of the timeless and oldest shoe- The Gladiator Sandal!

Here is the photo of the clock that started us on our hunt!   

   

Even Jasper Johns in his gray mood had shoes on the brain...check 4 the News.


Shoes!!!

The MET is full of shoe inspiration.    -Laura

Hey kids!!!! after we got high on the bronze clock and the color gray, we couldn't stop seeing gladiators everywhere!!! we were like crackheads for sandals!!!!!! every room we explored was full of gladiators! it was kinda like ur first car, once you start driving around, you notice everyone that has one!!!

when we hit the greek & romans sculptures, there were more gladiators than christ has christians@!!!!! (which he wore gladiators too by the way!)

Even antonio canova was on trend in 1804!!!!

 (right-click if you think Perseus is kinda hott!!!)

Speaking of Hot! We started our Bloomingdale's  Tour with the Hot Event on Saturday and boy we were outta control!!!

All of our Farylrobin Fans came out in full force ready to kick-off their Spring Summer wardrobe!!!

Here is Julie, the mastermind behind the Bloomingdale's Hot event with Faryl

This girl looked so good in the warrior and wonder!

Iliana on the left, has the most beautiful smile on earth!

And Faryl looks hotter than a pop-tart fresh outta the toaster in her spring launch look!

(so hot in the warrior!)

I love being photographed with beautiful women, it makes me look better!!!! 

This is Jorge, the department manager, with his son Jayden....who is the cutest and most talkative 2 year old.

The warriors look HOTTT on her too!

What event would be complete without chocolate covered strawberries...looks like their going fast!  The server was so nice!

We had a blast at Bloomingdale's!  With the nice weather on our side...people were definitely wanting sandals!

Gladiators are the must-have sandal for 2008, just as they were way back when....so take it from Perseus and get yourself a pair of the Warriors!    -Alex

Nordstrom's The Grove

Here is an email Julia received from a customer Faryl met at Nordstrom's The Grove in L.A. this last Saturday. We are so glad you fell in love with your farylrobins:)

Hi Julia,

I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting Faryl this past Sat at the Nordstrom’s at The Grove. I bought 2 pair of shoes (Aura in rose and Wistful in gold) and am madly in love with both pairs. I’m hoping you will please pass on to her how much I enjoyed meeting her and for the introduction to her fantastic line of shoes (I loved her dress and will be going to Zara’s soon).

I’ve been telling all my friends about them!! I’ve signed up for the newsletter so I’ll be “in the know”. Thanks!

Smiles,
Lisa
