My Jeffrey Campbell Love Affair


If I haven't already fallen head over heels in love with Jeffrey Campbell (pun intended) then the day has officially come.

I am almost embarrassed to say that I hadn't seen this fabulous line of shoes until late last year. What a fabulous discovery!! I absolutely adore the vision of the company,  
"You are Jeffrey Campbell"  
This is not only very inspiring, it makes me want to buy every single unique pair of boots, wedge, and platform shoe they have! Awesome. I am moving to California and this L.A. essence of street, meets vintage meets runway is going to be perfect for the eclectic lifestyle I'll be living. No other shoe brand is so unbelievably chic, unique and oh so recognizably sleek. {Say that ten times fast}
I am shopping around because they aren't a bargain brand but I will be making my first purchase before I can wear shorts and a t-shirt in 80 degree weather : )
Mmmm summer is creeping up, yesterday was the first day of spring and I am ready to see some ladies in short shorts, cork wedges, white jeans, floral print mini's and sun dresses! Oh, and bikini's, yes please! All of these spring/ summer essentials must be accompanied by some fab shoes, and by fab I mean wicked and by wicked I mean radically chic. Ah you get the picture. Bottom line: get your JC shoes ASAP lovelies! It's in, its fabulous and so are you : )





Dress these up with a dress or dress them down with shorts and a t-shirt!

So cute!

Perfect Perfect Perfect!!

Eco Collection!!


Ahhh if only.... This girl is a dreamer









Til next time, rainbows, butterflies and shoes are in the forecast. 
xoxo, Alex
