... AT MOXIE'S 10TH ANNIVERSARY PARTY

Kristen Caldon, manager at Moxie
This shoe-store manager and buyer owns 80 pairs of
shoes and houses them in three closets. Naturally.
We were absolutely slayed by her red Vena Cava
dress, topped only by her two-tone Jerome C. Rousseau peep-toe pumps.
She personalized the look with a Fendi monogram
pendant and a jeweled Grayce by Molly Sims necklace.
She describes her personal style as "vintage chic,"
naming a Fendi clutch, circa 1978, as her best vintage find. "My grandmother
Lily partied at Studio 54. I got my sense of style from her."

Ivana Viviano, fashion student at Fisher College
Her look was a riff on what she calls her "1950s
with an edge" style: she accessorized a floaty BCBGeneration dress with a LOFT
belt, a Bebe jacket, and Diane von Furstenberg sling-back heels.
She is a self-diagnosed shoe addict. "I have
Moxie-girl syndrome!" she laughs. "I want everything, even if it's not my
style." Her dream sole mate? A pair of B Brian Atwood suede booties with a
metal-accented heel.
She looks to labels like Nanette Lepore for pieces
that speak to her Audrey Hepburn-inspired aesthetic, and she recently started
scouring Macy's for wardrobe staples.

Christina K. Pierce, fashion stylist and consultant
We were green with envy over those six-inch Charlotte Olympia velvet wedges.
She wore them with a silk Diane von Furstenberg top, a patent-leather
Louis Vuitton bag, and Gap jeans - a neutral pant that kept the playful mix of
textures looking polished.
She recently opened her fashion showroom above Alex and Ani's Newbury Street outpost, which has led to
a big boost in her bangle collection. "If I'm having a bad day - or a good day!
- I buy a bracelet."
She says she's more of a clotheshorse than a shoe collector, but her favorite pair in
the store - purple suede B Brian Atwood pumps with sparkly soles - went home
with her.

Brianne Dyke, manager and marketing director at Crush
Boutique
Brianne, one of the sweetest shop-keeps in town, took the
geek-chic look for a spin in Warby Parker glasses, a Kimberly Taylor
dress, Spanx animal-print tights, a Free People coat, BCBGeneration pumps, and
a glitter-studded bag by Deux Lux.
Working in fashion retail affects her style by
opening her up to trends she might not otherwise try. One to watch? "I'm
obsessed with tribal prints," she says. "I love tribal jewelry with a white
T-shirt."
In recent years, she has incorporated a bit of grit
into her typically girly look, mixing blush tones with tough boots.
