What in the world did we do before camera phones? I mean really—I don’t even remember my life without the drunken self takes and “inspirational” shots I take of cute passengers on the NYC subway. Just the other night, out with drinks we were showing and discussing various camera phone pics, images and audacities—-when my pal Andrew topped it all with this STARBUCKS shot from midtown.
On a break from work, he stopped in the STARBUCKS in midtown–you know the one, right?….and there perched on the shelf—like a gift from GOD himself, was a JEFFREY CAMPBELL shoe box. I mean, is Jeffrey Campbell doing a collaboration with the S-bucks? And if so, will the shoes come with whip cream?

**THE FOLLOWING IN AN EXCERP REC’D FROM TRACEY McBALISON FROM MADSION–WHICH WAS SENT TO THE JEFFREY CAMPBELL INFO EMAIL ADDRESS!! WE LOVE FAN MAIL! THANKS TRACEY
“We all see the lists—they gaze at us at check out stands. “40 key looks you MUST have for fall!!” or “Learn to Layer to create more looks!” Usually I disregard all the “seasonal must haves and must nots,” but this season I paid careful and close attention to all the discussion over booties—as I am in the market for a new pair of show-stopping booties. I made a list of everything the magazines said I couldn’t leave my home without–and then compared it to what I needed to match, jeans, work attire, and dresses. I wanted something to pair with tights, but also to beef up some boring work outfits. I needed a little edge.
I wanted the following:
+something grey. (although I always end-up opting for black!!)
+something platformy.
+a lace up.
+something comfy–but forward. fast—but not too cray.
I set out on a mission shopping and seeking that was quickly answered, or dare I say “clickly answered” when i found myself staring eye-to-eyelet with my sole-mate on www.shopbop.com. As I am not an avid online shoe buyer, I was hesitant—but I trusted, I leapt–and boy am I glad I did. This is not my frist pair of Jeffrey Campbells—but it is the first pair I have owned in two colors!! The METTE PLATFORM BOOTY is essential to my everyday look and style—and when I say I could run a race in them…I mean it.”
The Jeffrey Campbell METTE has just hit retail. You can find this essential piece in black and grey by surfing your way to shopbop.com and following the links to the Jeffrey Campbell collection. Enjoy.

The NY Times—gets obsessed with Jeffrey Campbell. Read on!

Good style mixes high-ticket items with brilliant affordable gets. In this column,
T’s fashion team finds the cheap and the chic.
What: Jeffrey Campbell leather lace-up
How much: $99.95 at solestruck.com
Who: Courtney Weinblatt, T Magazine’s women’s fashion assistant
When it comes to style, I tend to fall into the girly-girl camp: dresses, floral prints, high heels.
But lately I have been seeing so many great men’s-wear-inspired shoes that I have started to flirt
with a more androgynous look. These black-and-white lace-ups from Jeffrey Campbell resemble
men’s spectators, but the narrow cut and eyelet-like details give them a decidedly feminine twist so
you can swing your look both ways. And at $99.95 they are a relatively low-risk fashion investment.
Fancy that!
WELL!! THANKS!! New York Times for the boost to our already HUGE self esteem! As mentioned in
previous blogs–we love the Saraid 2, and it seems to be nearly seasonless. Pair it with Jeans, tights,
a trouser or aflirty dress–the saraid has you covered. It is also available in a delicious grey black combo
and tan/brown combo which may even seem a bit more fall—while the classic black white como is a
timeless staple for any season.

Normally, as I trek down Broadway, I am either:
A. Late.
B. On my cell.
C. Late and on my cell, calling my meeting to say I am ten minutes behind schedule.
D. Shopping. Which makes me late.
Today, as I walked from Dean and Deluca, (where I ate standing up at the mini-bar with several other Manhattanites and about ten Swedish shoppers) I made my way to an appointment near B’way and Grand. It was quite cold for this time of year–and I kept my head bowed down to concentrate on my urgent texting and to avoid the now chilly temperatures. As I make this trek quite often, I know the stores, the earring selling street vendors, the guy who sells hot nuts, the guy who gives out haircut flyers, Etc. And, as per usual I have to walk past the always bustling STEVE MADDEN store. Techno blares as girls from far away places look at giant wedges and lots of things covered in patent.
Today, as I brushed passed the SM store, again eyes to the concrete, something caught my eye—then made me smile. There propped up against the window of the Madden store was a hot lady wearing a JEFFREY CAMPBELL moc. (The Jeffrey Campbell “LOVE BEADS.”)
I don’t think I have ever been so happy standing in front of a Steve Madden Display window, as I was today. The two ladies, in town for fun, said they got the shoes from Milwaukee. She Purchased her purple suede flat at FRED BOUTIQUE, which carries tons of Jeffrey Campbell. As I snapped their photos, we laughed about the background–and secretly I was the happiest I had been all day. Say Cheese and snap!!
(*as my day continued I saw LOVE BEADS at LF on Spring too for NY shoppers!)
