Jeffrey Campbell is known for creating the most architecturally and visually gorgeous shoes. His innovatively designed sky high heels have given him the moniker of footwear genius – an appropriate title. The audacious styles from this edgy and fashion forward designer are on everyone’s wish list (yours truly included) and they will continue to be so season after season. This spring make a statement in Jeffrey Campbell’s fearless and beguiling heels. A few favorites available now are:
1. Beebee Mid Platform Shoe – this style is also known as the “Flatform”, the perfect combination of the flat and platform shoe. This style was seen all over the runways last spring and is a great alternative to the platform as well as a perfect fir for those who want the height and a level surface.
2. Rockin-Ex High Heel – this show-stopping, peeptoe leopard pony hair platform booties features Jeffrey Campbell’s modern take on a 70′s style heel. The architectural cutout wooden wedge looks amazing with skinny jeans or rolled slouchy pants.
3. Follie High Platform Sandal – not quite a wedge but more than a heel, this towering retro-chic sandal features a sky-high platform, pop-art straps and a chunky wooden heel with a split; a wedge/platform heel hybrid that bring the free loving style of the past to the present time. It’s a great accent to a chic pair of shorts.
4. Str8 Lace Platform Sandal – another Jeffrey Campbell genius design moment is this heel-less platform. This lace covered work of art is Campbell’s avant garde translation of spring’s hottest shoe – the platform. The lace gives this sculpted beauty a vintage feel which work seamlessly when paired with maxi skirts and dresses. This must-have shoe also amps your style quota to maximum levels and since they are Jeffrey Campbell, they work great with any denim silhouette.
5. So Much High Heel Sandal – another favorite among fashionistas, this chunky wood heel features a burlap-wrapped platform and wide braided leather straps. This rustic country and sleek urban hybrid highlights the best of both regions – edgy toughness with high fashion style. They are especially stylish when paired with a more romantic look.

Amp up your good girl/bad girl style mix by pairing the Georgina Flat Sandal orLorissa High Heel Peep-Toe Pump with your pastel-colored denim shorts and cropped jeans.

It’s brands like these that make my job excruciatingly painful. The gorgeous elegance of textured, pattern heavy combinations mixed throughout the Elizabeth and James collection makes a girl want what she can’t have. Fusing an uptown chic with downtown couture, colorful accents and masculine cuts, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen have yet again released double trouble for my pocket book.
Vintage x Retro x Modern, from shoes to accessories this collection turns the fashion conscious head spinning. Luxuriously modern in approach the twins have managed to capture classic elegance with contemporary cool. A bit pricey for the average consumer but each piece speaks loudly, so splurging every once in awhile with this brand will keep your closet up to date. Above are my SOME of my favorites and there is much more coming from the Spring collection. Included in DNA’s New Arrivals is a pair of the E-Clair Colorblock High Heel Sandal.

Ya, ya, ya….so we’ve given into the hype and are now carrying for the first time ever Crocs clogs for the comfort seeking, amphibious kind. Although their eco- friendliness is still in debate (and may be full of croc as the long winded plastic substitute used, “Proprietary Closed Cell Resin” or Croslite, tells us nothing of its carbon footprint) everyone from tree huggers to corporate cowboys are clogging around in their Crocs on and off the clock. 
Having become a household name since their creation in 2002 Crocs are one of the leading multi-purpose shoes on the market. Their color variety and comfort maintain a loyal following from adults to kids. Give your feet a break from sweaty boots and six inch stillettos in the uber comfy clogs or sport a pair of the ballet flats. The color options vary depending on gender and age but our selection is fit to please. So why not get cozy in a pair of Crocs?

The latest development in the shoe game is being kept on the low, literally. Just getting warmed up by Trendsetters and Go-Getters around the globe are the colorful soles that are being vivaciously supported by brands such as Steve Madden and Mark McNairy. Adding a subtly vibrant color base to neutral bodied basics, dress shoe designers are adding some soul to their soles, spicing up the oh-so boring business attire.
With electric blues and teals, pastel mints, peaches and yellows married against neutrals, these flats have me putting away my heels and lacing up in gem tones and sandstones. Embracing androgyny, the base movement has found a foothold in both men and women’s wear and will be brightening up the office by mixing the prude professional with a colorful foundation.
Catch the glow from bottom to top this Spring in a pair of brightly based ballroom shoes or boots. Click here to check out my favorite tastemaker sporting Mark McNairy boots trimmed with Orange and Yellow soles and I absolutely heart the soles by Steve Madden pictured above.

In fashion, rarely do you hear designers say “Thick is in” but when it comes to shoes, this has never been more apparent (well maybe since disco and the Spice Girls). As one of today’s most recognizable shoe trends and one of our most popular brands, Jeffrey Campbell’s collections continue to champion the tall and chunky. JC’s street appeal mixed with high-end allure fuses contrasting characteristics making each pair compatible with multiple personalities. Offering a wide spectrum of designs, patterns, colors and materials, every shoe junky has endless options, from the wild child to the conservative queen and any girl in between.
The name Jeffrey Campbell is now synonymously known for the sky high Lita heeled boots everyone’s been rocking since their release sometime in July 2010. Diversify from the fad followers and get spotted in a new pair of JC’s flirty flats, go green with a Hippie Chic canvas espadrille or bring out the Bohemian Babe with a rustic wooden heel. Having an eye for awe, no matter which Jeffrey Campbell shoe you choose it is guaranteed to draw admirers. So dare to be different and think outside the shoe box!
