They stand when I walk through the neighborhoods.

A long time ago, I told someone that my favorite trend for this summer was anything 1970s. But then I never blogged about this trend. Until now.

As per usual, I am starting off with Jeffrey Campbell.


This is the Spectacular Spectrum Wedge. I thought these were cool -- albeit goofy -- the first time I saw them. Then I heard someone describe them as "1970s gay pride parade, summertime disco." And, that's basically the best way anything could hope to be described. $160


I have also been trawling Etsy and eBay for anything like these:

The pink ones belong to Silly, Innocent Girl.

So far, I have been unsuccessful. Keep your eyes peeled for me!

The way your eyes look into me.

What are you doing to me, Jeffrey Campbell? I should just buy stock in this company. I should be able to earn frequent-buyer and/or frequent-admirer points toward free shoes. Right?

Anyway, here are some picks for the next Jeffrey Campbell shoes I will become obsessed with:

These are the Rally Wedges in black suede. Look at how tall and how glittery. Can you imagine? I could totally rock these... $198.

These are the beige floral Swansong wedges. I don't even like sandals, and I really don't like open-toed shoes. But these seem so perfect for spring/summer frolicking. I think I'd just like anything if it's got a high enough platform. $112.

And these are the 99 Tie Glitter wedges in red glitter! This style has been around for a while. I actually posted about the 99 Zip wedges a long time ago. But now they come in silver, pewter, red and multi glitter. And I may own a fair amount of glittery shoes, but I don't own any that are red. $139.95.

Another year over.

Welcome to my first post of 2011! I've been watching the Twilight Zone marathon all day, and I have two new pairs of glitter-covered shoes to share with you. (I'm sure there are not many people that would be able to say that.)

I got these at Off-Broadway Shoes yesterday and then wore them out for new year's eve celebrations. They are very excellent. I anticipate wearing them to class this year.

AND FINALLY.

My Jeffrey Campbell multi-glitter Litas came right before Christmas. Oh, man. They are beautiful.

Check out that glitter-tastic reflection.

These are the most fabulous shoes ever. And everyone is right: they're completely comfortable and easy to walk in. And they make me over 6 feet tall. Woo!

Happy new year!

Gravity don't mean too much to me.

You have to see this.

I've been hearing a lot about Jeffrey Campbell's Lita platforms, but I didn't particularly care for them... Until now.

They come in silver, pewter and multi-colored glitter.

Well, they're $160 and they're all sold out. But, whoa. Maybe someday.

So manically depressed and manically dressed.

I have lots of posting to catch up on, but in the meantime, I thought I'd post some shoe inspiration. Here are some shoes that I love because they are covered in glitter and/or excessive amounts of dangly things.

These are Prada's spring 2010 "chandelier sandals," which look like something I would have really enjoyed walking around in when I was little. Actually, I'd still really enjoy walking around in them.

I can't identify these shoes, unfortunately, but I love them and I want them. Desperately. Although something tells me that I might be able to buy plain heels and a bunch of shiny decals to turn this into a DIY project.

Glitter, you're my lover.

It's a good thing I have such a terrible shopping addiction because I always have fabulous new shoes to write about! The latest being:

I now officially own two pairs of shoes covered entirely in glitter... Awesome! I had my eye on these Forever 21 glitter boots for quite a while, but I decided to go for it this weekend and they arrived in the mail this morning. It's really fun ordering things online for me because you get to open the package like it's your birthday. I was concerned about them because I didn't get to try them on and, since they were on sale, they can't be returned. But they fit marvelously, look fantastic and are quite comfortable.

Success!

All I see are stilettos.

I am back home, finally, after a most excellent vacation! And I come bearing a shoe post!

I bought both of these shoes before I left town from the shoe clearance rack at Charlotte Russe, which is swiftly becoming my favorite place to shop. They always manage to have one pair of amazing shoes, just in my size, for extremely low prices.



I was thrilled to find these fabulous blue heels, as blue heels were high on my list of Items I Must Have in My Wardrobe for a few months. And these were six dollars. Six dollars. They're tremendously high, but the fact that the front is also on a platform makes them much easier to wear when walking. I wore them with red tights to a play and managed to walk all over Santa Monica Boulevard in them with ease.




Now, these fabulous gold glitter heels came into my life back in October. They have much less platform than the blue heels but make up for it by being covered in gold glitter. They are the absolute definition of the word "fabulous." And these suckers cost eleven dollars. I have yet to wear them out, because one must have a fantastic opportunity to debut such golden shoes, but I'm sure their time will come.

Also, have you ever noticed how difficult it is to take a picture of the side of your own foot? It's pretty difficult and I will be enlisting some assistance in the future. And, if you click on these pictures, they will get humongous and you will be able to count the specs of dust on my floor. I hope you don't do that. My next outfit documentation will be far less pitiful. Stay tuned!
