FIRST by Jeffrey Campbell made it’s fashion week debut this past week by gracing the man-feet of the Loden Dager show. The JC huarrache complimented the Latin/Casual vibe of the Loden Dager collection—adding another detail to the stacked woven bangles worn by the models. The editors from Men’s Style.com were all over the footwear–noting it as a great reinvention of the classic man-sandal..dare I say, “mandal.”

LD brought the brites and crowd favorites seemed to be the geometric printed shorts and the drop crotch pleated shorts and pants. The collection looked fresh, clean and like a new foot forward into mens style and concept.

The ultimate in JC chic is the new style called MEOW. 1980’s inspired flat leather oxford is a capez throw back to the day of shaker sweaters, ESPRIT cotton shoulder bags and “wave bangs.” This classic shape is made current again by Jeffrey Campbell and brought to you in NAVY luxxe leather at the delicious boutique FRANK JAMES in Portland Oregon.

Frank James–known widely on the “WEST SIDE” for its collection of top street brands and indie staples mixes in JC each season at their Portland Location. Hit up the FRANK JAMES BLOG at http://frankjamesclothing.blogspot.com/ to see more about the store and to get your hands on the MEOW!! Available now!! I mean……available meow.

Okay, so clearly around the water cooler this morning (and at starbux on my way to work, and on the E train, and my doorman, and all over my text messaging) everyone was a buzz about brat-du-jour Kanye West and his “swift” dismiss of Miss. Taylor at last nights VMA awards. While Kanye deserves more than a slap across his lazer lined head–who can deny they love a little DRAMA first thing monday morning…I mean..check your facebook people!
