I swear

ummm ... I got a call from Santa yesterday, on my cell.
He told me to go to bed early and said he had to go load up the sleigh and feed the Reindeer, but to be sure to leave him some french fries. Swear. -- Vivian

Where in the World ... series

Hello!

Thank you SO much for making such a beautiful pair of custom Emmas for me – the first pair (of many to come) with my new monogram since I was married on 12.11.10 in Naples, FL! 

Enjoying my beautiful shoes while I was relaxing in a lounge chair watching sunset over the West Bank of the Nile and Valley of the Kings and Queens, taken on December 26, 2010.

It's my first pair, but won't be my last.

Flower Girl in her Stevie Bs

Where in the World are your Bonannos?
This adorable flower girl sporting a pair at a wedding in Lyford Key, Bahamas. Lara from La Plates.com said, "The flower girl picked gold/platinum lil emmas for the wedding and lavendar/white lil emmas for her beach wear. I love the fashion flair of a five year old!"

Seersucker to Match

Emily found the perfect match for her pink Seersucker top at the Stuart Factory Boutique ... Pink Seersucker flip flops!
She kept Melanie (Happiness) and Cat busy with several custom pairs that followed.

"I had such a great time with Emily and hope she ends up with the fabulous Red Wine Python handbag she was eyeing earlier." -- Melanie.

Texas Gals Rule

Chana, Linda, Betty and Eloise (momma) stopped in to take a tour of the factory and treat themselves to some birthday sandals.

Today is Linda's birthday and yesterday was Eloise.

Happy Birthday ladies.

Fab in Citrus

Cheryl came into the Stuart Factory & Boutique today sporting my favorite color ... Citrus!. When I saw her I knew exactly what to do ... I brought out the perfect accessory, Citrus/White in the PB Classics! It was love at first sight, for both of us. lol

Cheryl you look fantastic, thanks for the picture.  -- Happiness (Melanie)

The Family Business

Our Factory and Boutique is 7 miles west of downtown Stuart off Kanner Hwy and Jack James Dr in the industrial park in West Stuart.

My brother and designer Stephen Bonanno is hands on at the factory making sandals and giving tours on how your favorite sandals are made.

My husband Domenick and I previously had our "Stephen Bonanno Sandals" store downtown. We moved it to the factory where we now have a showroom in the front for walk-in traffic. The showroom displays all the sandal styles and mules along with a "discount bins" of irregulars at 50% OFF!

Swing by and check it out.

Don't be Fooled ...

If you're in a store, flip the sandal over, if it doesn't have our seal, it's not us! If you are ordering via the phone, ask the question, "do your sandals have the seal of authenticity stamped on the bottom sole?" That one question should eliminate all possible confusion. :)

9/11

Now, we have inscribed a new memory alongside those others. It's a memory of tragedy and shock, of loss and mourning. But not only of loss and mourning. It's also a memory of bravery and self-sacrifice, and the love that lays down its life for a friend - even a friend whose name it never knew.-President George W. Bush, December 11, 2001

WEDDINGS

What better personalized gift to give your bridal party than a pair of Stephen Bonanno Sandals.

Year round we offer a fabulous wedding promotional. Order minimum 6 pair at regular price and receive the 7th pair at 50% off!

It's the perfect time to treat yourself and your bridal party to a very unique, personalized gift that you'll be sure to wear for years to come.  

I'm just a phone call away if you need help with colors and sizes. 772-260-3525

PATTERN MAKING

Following in my brother's footsteps?
Perhaps. It's hard not to be inspired by all the talent in my family.

So, I've been working for months on my new patterns ... and I gotta tell ya, it ain't easy. Working hours on my computer designing, measuring, and testing on my very patient model, Rippy the Scottish Terrier.
Today I'm back to square one. Yikes. Time is running out!
Hoping for the big reveal Sept 1.  -- Vivian

PHOTOS OF YOUR SBs

Hi everyone ...
I am currently working on the redesign of the Stephen Bonanno website www.stephenbonanno.com.

I would love to use more "Where in the World ..." photos, so if you were planning to send any my way, this would be the perfect time.

Send all photos, blurbs with first name and location to vivian@bonannofactory.com Thanks!

PS
if they aren't used for our website, we will post them on our blog.

Two Old Crabs

My husband is the king of greeting cards.

He NEVER forgets any occasion. For me or for his Mother.

This week he worked way too many hours and simply didn't have enough time ... but this is how amazing he is as a person ... he dragged himself up on this Sunday morning at 5 am and ran to Walgreen's to make sure he got just the right birthday card for me. When I awoke there were beautiful red roses and 3 birthday cards. One romantic card, one silly card and one funny card from our hairy little beast. My day has been made special.

I am the luckiest girl in the world.

Domenick and I celebrating our 54th birthdays together.
His is June 25, mine is June 26.

June: Family/Friends Adventure

Kayaking to Peanut Island. It was my first time ever, and I was alittle fearful of sharks, but thank God, no sightings. Had a blast. Would do it again ... 'cept my cousin now wants to do a midnight run and I'm thinkin' shark bait fer sure. Nooooo thank you.

I've Got a Pep in My Step

I've made the perfect morning drink that gives me energy and keeps me going throughout the day.
Green Smoothie (makes about 32ozs and I drink the whole thing)
2 cups of water
handful spinach
handful kale
handful collard greens
1 banana or 1 apple
1 date
1/2 cup of frozen blueberries
6 frozen strawberries
2 handfuls of ice
blend real good
bing. bing. bing! who needs caffeine!

OMG!

Keely's first pair of Stephen Bonannos.
Sooooo teeny tiny!

SB Mules

Mules that make your feet go aaahhh

Like his sandals, Stephen Bonanno Mules are hand-crafted and come in any color. If you have a fabulous fabric, send it to us and we can make them!

Personally, I wasn't sure if I could wear shoes without a back, but I gave my brother my hounds-tooth fabric and waited in anticipation ... I have to tell you, I love love love them!
Can't wait for my next pair. Real Gator skin!
(exotic skins can be special ordered)

Seal of Authenticity

Don't be fooled by the imitators ...

"Hand-crafted in the USA"Look for our seal of authenticity stamped on the bottom sole of every pair of Stephen Bonanno Sandals.

Happy Colors and Easter Baskets

Spring is in the air, I can just feel it!
Ok. Ok. So I live in South Florida and it is a lot warmer here than where a lot of you live ... but Spring is coming, I promise!

With Easter just around the corner, it's the perfect time to start thinking Happy Colors and Easter Baskets. A pair of Stephen Bonanno Sandals inside your best girl's basket will bring big hugs of appreciation. It's thoughtful, it's personal. It's perfect.

If you don't know what her size is or what colors to choose you can do one of two things, give us a call and we 'll help you figure it out or, we have the next best thing ... "Give the Gift with Sole" SBS Gift Card. She can then decide on exactly what she wants. It's a no brainer.
Order on-line or give us a call. We're happy to help.

Look who's in the house

It is always thrilling for me to put faces to the names ...

Long time Stephen Bonanno Sandals fan, Thecka from Jefferson City MO., stopped in to visit our WPB boutique with her friends Carolyn and Richard from Brighton IL. Unfortunately the threesome brought the cold and rain with them, but something tells me that won't stop them from having fun while sight-seeing in Palm Beach.

If it doesn't say Stephen,

It isn't Bonanno!
