Ok, I’ve spent the past month jetting from one event to the next, hobnobbing at the Oscars, the Grammy’s, and joining BEARPAW on their fantastic shoot in Lake Tahoe! But I’ve finally gotten round to editing this new video from the Sundance Film Festival! Not only was I thrilled to be one of the celebrities at the BEARPAW gifting suite, I had the chance to chat with a good number of fellow stars, as evidenced in this previously unseen video.

Well, even though the groundhog saw his face and we have nine more days of winter (or whatever), we’re inching toward spring and you know what that means – time to shoot the BEARPAW Spring 2012 line! We knew we had to find the perfect spot to capture BEARPAW’s open, homegrown spring style of sandals, moccasins, flip-flops, slippers, boots, and clogs, and when we visited Lake Skinner in Temecula, CA, we knew we had found it.

Jamie Anderson
Professional snowboarder Jamie Anderson knows all about good footwear and gold medals — and it shines in her recent win at the Winter X Games in Aspen. We took some time to speak with the champion slopestyle rider about her passion for the sport and, of course, her love for all things BEARPAW. The only American to enter Women’s Snowboard Slopestyle at Winter X Games, Jamie won her third gold medal in Aspen on January 27 (she also took top honors in 2007 and 2008, won a Silver in 2010 and a Bronze in 2011). “I worked hard all summer and fall,” Jamie said. “I live in lake Tahoe and I am just an active kind of girl. I love to mountain bike, hike, paddle board, swim, practice yoga and run. I also like to eat local organic foods and drink plenty of water to stay healthy and fit.” Read More | Comments

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! Read More | Comments

The holiday season may be behind us, but here at BEARPAW, we’re still caught up in the excitement over our Spread the Love, Share the Comfort Holiday Campaign. The response has been so heart-warming that we thought we’d share some stories with our readers!
Jessica Kirby (who nominated the Preston family, pictured), told us, “The holidays are about giving back, and delivering the BEARPAW gift package to the Preston family completely warmed my heart. This inspiring family is very special and seeing the joy on their faces was amazing. As predicted, Elizabeth ‘paid it forward’ and helped another struggling family with some of the gifts she received, so they could also have a Merry Christmas.” Read More | Comments

New executive brings decades of experience to successful overseas business
BEARPAW Footwear announced today the hiring of Richard Marten as the new Vice President of International Business Development for the company.

Mommies can’t get enough of BEARPAW, and according to their blogging habits, they love BEARPAW boots for their comfort and everyday wear-ability. That said, we’re sure it comes as no surprise that BEARPAW has been featured on the popular Momma Told Me blog.
Mommy blogs, which have been dominating the Internet, offer information to their readers on all things domestic. While household duties can be exhausting — and perhaps overwhelming for new moms trying to get into the groove of things — some super-mommies take the time out of their busy schedules to share their findings and knowledge with others. This is great news for anyone who loves ! Read More | Comments

When 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.

Jamie Foxx gave a concert and Diddy hosted a bash, and rumor has it there was some kind of game on Sunday, but undoubtedly one of the places to be throughout NBA All-Star weekend was Sportie LA, where BEARPAW was one of the signature sponsors of a three-day block party that had the town buzzing. VIPs like Justin Bieber, Rick Fox, Amber Rose, and Bai Ling were treated to a BEARPAW’s, loving the Viper, Sienna, and other styles (not to mention the BEARPAW backpack!), and participating in a hoops competition benefiting the UN Foundation’s Nothing but Nets. That organization was a co-sponsor of the event, along with SLAM Magazine, the official bible of basketball fans everywhere. Read More | Comments
