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.

Vans, Converse and UGGS have got the blues…Blue Jeans that is and Lana Del Rey even has a song named after the classic and classy casual wear. With everything from hats to backpacks being accented with denim, many shoe brands have hopped on board.
Transitioning from Winter to Spring can be somewhat intimidating. With festival season arrived, SxSW is taking over Austin and Coachella is just along the horizon, proper denims will have you Rockin’ n Rollin’ or just takin’ a walk along the wild side. You can play dress up with funky chunks from the likes of Steve Madden, Jeffrey Campbell, Rachel Zoe, Report Signature (need I say more?) or doll them down in festive flats from Seychelles, Yosi Samra or Gee WaWa.
Take the easy route and hide excess winter weight with high wasted acid wash denim shorts or revamp your closet with a good ol’ trip to the craft store. Taking the vintage approach and cutting up old jeans or studding the seams will enliven a hibernating ensemble but a statement shoe will stick like glue!
WHATEVER you choose, casual denim wear must be accompanied with the right shoes. As this month’s must-have fabric its about time to revisit your closet and double check that you have sufficient footing for every occasion. Festivals or fiestas, damsels in denim are embracing rough and rugged and ready to ride.

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!

What would happen if UGG Australia and Giuseppe-Zanotti fell in love and had shoe babies or if Miu Miu was mad for Converse? While we don’t see any of these designers collaborating in the near future, it is fun to imagine what it would be like if our favorite brands paired up.
Ten years ago, major design houses would have laughed in your face had you suggested collaborating with another, yet today designer collaborations are common place. From designers buddying up to designers and fashion chains linking lines, designer collaborations rake in the big bucks. So why not let Frye and Sam Edelmen get cozy?!

While we covet designer brands like Burberry, our budgets don’t exact always match our taste (ok, so they NEVER do). Thank god for brands such as Jeffrey Campbell who save our footwear dreams from crumbling!
Don’t be confused with our other daily post about copyright infringement because there are some obvious differences between the $895 Burberry’s and the $199.99 Jeffrey Campbell’s:
One. The Burberry wedges only have one buckle (you’d think for more money, they’d have more buckles but hey what do we know?!)
Two. The cut of the ankle is different with the Burberry showing off more skin.. Ooo La La!
Three. The outsole and midsole of the Jeffrey Campbell wedges are flat.
Four. The price tag

 New Years Eve is quickly approaching and every magazine and blog is splattered with smiling faces and sparkly shoes. From Jeffrey Campbell to Miu Miu, sparkles have become synonymous with New Years and party attire but can there be TOO MANY sparkles?
Sparkly footwear is a surefire way to grab the attention of the cute guy across the room just before the ball drops but then again to your left another girl is wearing the same shoes and to your right a poor barely 21-something has been dipped in a sparkly batter. Quickly, your perfect glitter pumps are making you one in a million and not THE one.
So, the question this New Years Eve is…To Sparkle or Not To Sparkle?

Travel back in time with us as we explore the history of footwear.
1920′s — The 1920′s were about the fashionable flapper, flaunting short hair, short skirts, and risqué shoes with kitten heels.
1940′s — During WWII with nationalism at a height, footwear took a backseat and fashion lacked the importance it held in the 1920′s.
1960′s– Rightfully named the swingin’ 60′s, with Twiggy as a style icon women wanted to change the world (and fashion).
1980′s — Think leg warmers, shoulder pads, big hair, and jellies (yes, the jellies that made your feet sweat).
1990′s — The Spice Girls took the music and the fashion world by storm, bringing the UK to the US and along with them, platforms.
Today — Fashion bloggers and magazine editors dictate what’s in style and according to these “know-it-alls” Jeffrey Campbell Litas and flatforms are here to stay. The flatforms along with the Dr. Martens are a revivial of footwear from the past– flatforms are the new platform and Dr. Martens are no longer stuck in the 90′s. Along with the trend of bloggers dictating style comes celebrities engaging in footwear designs, including Rachel Zoe, Paris Hilton, Rachel Bilson, Perez Hilton, Kim Kardashian, and more.
What’s next?

Let us start by wishing you a very happy Cyber Monday (Don’t forget to use coupon code ‘CM20′ for 25% off – excludes UGGs,Pajar,Sorel)!
Now, onto the blogging. In the fashion blogging industry, one shoe stands apart… the Jeffrey Campbell Lita — a fashion cult classic. Since the Lita’s rise to footwear stardom many brands have joined in on the platform high heel boot trend. One of these lookalike brands is Chelsea Crew who calls their “original creation” the Timber High Heel Bootie, boasting a hidden platform and lace up detailing. Similar to the Lita in design, the Timber has a 4 1/2″ heel and 1 1/2″ platform while the Lita has a 5″ wooden heel and 2 1/4″ hidden platform. Another difference is the price, which Timber gets our vote for; $79.99 as opposed to the Lita’s steep $145 price tag.
Which fits your style and budget best?

Jeffrey Campbell knows what it takes to sell the hottest women’s footwear and now the brand is reinventing itself with a men’s collection: The Damned. The Jeffrey Campbell team took to the streets of New York to capture the true essence and attitude of men’s footwear.
Calling all men’s fashion bloggers, Jeffrey Campbell has the shoes and boots you’ve been dreaming of (you no longer have to borrow your girlfriend’s). From high heeled boots to wedges and flatforms, the Jeffrey Campbell “Damned” collection is not for the faint of heart. You may think you’re oogling a women’s line, but trust us we were as shocked as you when we realized the traditionally women’s styles were for men.
First came the man-bag then the man-liner, now comes Jeffrey Campbell.

The collaboration that all fashion bloggers have been secretly dreaming about will arrive come February. While this seems like years to wait for your ballerina flatforms, trust us when we say this collaboration between Jeffrey Campbell and Wildfox Couture will be worth the wait!
The collection will consist of sky-high strappy heels, a ’90s-inspired military boot, denim platforms and the soon-to-be best seller ballerina flatforms. The lace-up military boot is called the “Sgt. Pepper” and is based on the JC classic Stevie shape and a 5.5” heel. The “Ballerina Flat Form” will be available in pink or white satin with satin ankle ties to match; additionally the “Lone Star”, a 60s inspired sandal with all over white leather and covered heel and the “Dallas”, a peep-toe T-strap in blue denim fabric with a wooden platform and a 6” curved heel finished with a bow at the back will be part of the highly-anticipated collaboration.
Wildfox designers Emily Faulstich and Kimberly Gordon claim they “decided to do the collaboration after a few years of pulling shoes from [Jeffrey Campbell]” for their shoots. Gordon explained that ”it was a shoe love affair from the start, so it just made sense. JC has the same bold, thrill-seeking girls buying their shoes as Wildfox, which is why our brands really mesh well together.”
The shoe collection will hit stores in February and will be available retail boutiques nationwide including Shop Nasty Gal, Solestruck, Singer22, Shopbop, Revolve, Edge of Urge, Kitson, DASH, Akira, Butter and Enzyme. Internationally, Wildfox Couture is distributed in over 30 countries worldwide including the U.K., Germany, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Russia and Taiwan and can be found in such stores as Harvey Nichol’s, Selfridges and Queen for a Day.
