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.
