**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.
