    The Surrogate, Beasts of the Southern Wild, and Sleepwalk with Me are just a few of the films that won awards and generated buzz, as BEARPAWstyle spent the week chilling in snowy Park City, Utah (“chilling,” get it? HA!) at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival.

    Our team was keeping VIPs warm in BEARPAWs at the Fender Music Lodge: we’ve always had our share of celebrity BEARPAW fans, and I dare say we picked up a few more this week! Emily Blunt, Peter Jackson, Tim & Eric, Elijah Wood, Richard Gere, Sigourney Weaver, Kate Bosworth, Danny Glover, and more visited us at the Lodge.  Here, Simon Rawley-Wells offers an overview of this amazing week!

    The new BEARPAW Men’s Collection is officially out, featuring four brand new styles for men alongside the two classics already offered, the Stowe and Dream boots.

    This new collection has been a long time coming for BEARPAW, who has enjoyed great success in the women and children’s footwear market, and has had fans clamoring for a wider selection of styles for men. The Fall 2011 line retails for $110-$140, and features tumble leathers and oil-pressed suedes that set the collection apart from the women’s or children’s lines with more masculine textures. Celebs are already flipping out over the mens boots and moccasins – hmm, jealous of your girlfriends much, guys? Read More | Comments

    110927_de_0427_finalWhen Extra TV brought their cameras to the Jami Lynn boutique in Beverly Hills to tape a segment for its January 6, 2012 Friends Giveaway broadcast, anticipation was in the air. There was excitement over the fact that star Mario Lopez had specifically requested the show conduct an interview with BEARPAW, focusing on the celeb appeal that currently surrounds the brand. From Snooki and Jwoww of Jersey Shore fame to Katie Holmes, famous folks across the globe can be seen in BEARPAW boots and shoes, so it’s only natural that a hot, celeb-centric show like NBC’s Extra would want to cover the brand.

    So many amazing things happened in 2011, events that literally changed the landscape of the world as we know it: I officially became the unofficial brand ambassador for BEARPAW Footwear…

    I had the opportunity to participate in a number of fantastic photo and video shoots for the brand, including interviews and shoots with Karina Smirnoff, BEARPAW founder Tom Romeo, and R&B artist T Coles. Now, my  esteemed friend and colleague Martin has put together an amazing retrospective for you FOBs out there. So, watch and relive the best fashions and moments of 2011 (and catch a peep at what we’ve got going on in 2012)!

    Tis the season…for the second boot in the Karina Smirnoff “KS” Collection for BEARPAW: the Capulet! Fans of Dancing With the Stars got a sneak peek at the Capulet when the Season 13 Champion wore a pair to her DWTS rehearsals with partner J.R. Martinez.

    The just-released Capulet is flying off the shelves, and the first boot in the collection, the Alyeska, continues to do so. Karina’s big win on DWTS, infectious smile, and bubbly personality are only a few reasons why her BEARPAW line is doing so well – the main reason is that the boots are well-crafted, stylish, and in totally in sync with the BEARPAW motto of living life comfortably.

    As 2012 approaches, I begin a new tradition in my role as BEARPAW’s unofficial brand ambassador: the Simon Rawley-Wells New Year’s Resolution. Despite its title, please note that this tradition is not about me. In fact, that’s the entire point. My intention is to inspire people to think of others, to shift focus, not just for a season, but for the entire year.

    It isn’t easy. We wake up each morning, totally aware of our being (and, in my case, my back – after all these years on the road as a successful correspondent, the travel has taken its toll!). What if we awakened each day to a caring thought about someone else? Perhaps call a relative, or take a dear and lonely friend to breakfast? (It is worth noting that I tend to rise early but not eat before 10am, and my favorite spot is Schwartz Bakery on Fairfax in LA) Read More | Comments

    I recently got closer to two things I love,  my favorite celeb Karina Smirnoff  and my favorite boot brand, BEARPAW.  Karina Smirnoff, hosted a live VIP chat on the GLAMOUR Magazine Facebook page to talk about  winning season 13 of “Dancing with the Stars” and her signature BEARPAW boots, (did I mention I love BEARPAW).  The chat allowed us BEARPAW fans the chance to talk to Karina about topics including , dance, health, fitness and her Alyeska and Capulet boots.

    BEARPAW is hitting the big screen in Universal Pictures’ upcoming film, Pitch Perfect.  The film (directed by Jason Moore of the hit musical Avenue Q), is based on GQ magazine contributor Mickey Rapkin’s nonfiction book Pitch Perfect: The Quest for Collegiate A Cappela Glory. The comedy focuses on an all-girls college a cappella group competing against an all-boys championship team. It’s been described as “Glee goes to college,” and is sure to be a huge hit in the wake of success enjoyed by programs such as Glee and High School Musical.
