12 days of quis-mas

December 6th, 2012

Our favourite time of year has finally come round again and we can barely contain our excitement! We’re feeling generous as ever at Fin’s HQ (which luckily for you is just in time for Christmas) so without further ado, we’re proud to present our new Christmas competition, Quis-mas

If your memory can stretch as far back to July, we held a summer ‘Quis Ego’ competition and ‘Quismas’ has similar rules of play.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with the concept, Quis Ego is a Latin phrase, which translates to “Who (wants it)?” “I (do).”

So, over the next 12 days leading up to Christmas (starting on Monday 10th of December) we will be giving away an item every day. This could be anything from a fabulous from a classic pair of George Loafers to an unseen pair of Fin’s which somehow didn’t make it onto the shelves.

Winning is as easy as pie; we will post QUIS along with a picture of the prize on Twitter or Facebook. So if you want to be in a chance of winning, all you need to do is reply with EGO. The first person to reply will win the prize!

Here comes the serious part; the rules:

  • To be in with a chance of winning, you need to be following us on Twitter have liked us on Facebook.
  • The winner of the prize shall be the first person to reply ‘EGO’ to our Tweet or Facebook post.
  • UK based players only
  • 1 EGO prize per customer

Quis-mas could happen at any time each day so keep your eyes peeled Finsketeers.

Good Luck!

Puppy  Power

As you’re fully aware, anything animal related makes the entire Fin’s team go weak at the knees. This week, we had a very special surprise when a customer bought in his little pup for a visit. Fin was lucky enough to steal a cuddle from the pooch while Sian and Sally sat with green eye. #toocute

We may not remember his name, but we sure did love him

HOF competition

We love a competition here at Fin’s HQ and are pleased to award the House Of Fraser competition winner Sam Arnold with a pair of our signature George Loafers along with Fin’s shoe care kits for the luck runner up’s. If you missed out, make sure you follow us on Twitter for exclusive offers and HQ gossip – @finsforhim

MORBS

The NEW world’s tallest skyscraper

We can always rely upon the Daily Mail to feed us the most bizarre news. And this week, it’s Sky City that has made it onto Morbs! A Chinese construction company have revealed plans to build THE tallest skyscraper, reaching 2,794ft, in just 90 days… 1- utter madness 2 – v. unsafe (The Burj took 5 years to build) and 3- no one could possible dent the luxuriousness of the Burj Khalifa. We are very intrigued to see how this goes to plan…

Finspiration for your Izola Cocktail shakers..

November 14th, 2012

We know our customers have exceptional taste in shoes, but how about cocktails? We’re no mixologist but we thought to celebrate the launch of our fabulous range from Izola, we would share our favourite cocktails to give you some finspiration with your new Izola Cocktail Shakers…

Sian

I love a tasteful Eggnog cocktail! It comes in both an alcoholic and non-alcoholic form but in my case I prefer the alcoholic version, thank you! It’s extremely filling and therefore probably best served at parties with canapés rather than for suppers out.

To view the recipe, click here.

The Eggnog - how festive!

Sally

I can’t say no to a White Russian (on the right occasion of course). This cocktail is for those with a sweet tooth. Many versions exist; some even include Goat’s milk! But for old times sake, let’s just stick to the vodka, coffee liqueurs and cream.

The perfect White Russian

Sara

Who doesn’t love the infamous Sex and the City cocktail, the Cosmopolitan? It can be a risky choice to order at bars, as they tend to use far too much cranberry and sour mix rather then fresh fruit juices. However, I am a firm believer that a well made Cosmo is a deserved classic and a great cocktail to get you started on your Izola cocktail shakers!

A classic cocktail loved by all

Fin

I love the sweet and punchy taste of a Negroni, which I always have on trade trips to Florence in the summer. It’s a drink to sip rather than glug. A great cocktail – get practicing now and perfect for next year’s sunshine. Click here to see how.

Pucker up, this cocktail you won't forget
