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!

Nobody rides for free.

You can see the seasons changing in the backgrounds of my pictures. It's definitely been snowing, and I wish it would stop.

Today, I felt compelled to break out this coat I thrifted a few years ago. And, while I was at it, I also broke out my Jeffrey Campbell Alexa wedges. And I did not slip on any ice or break my neck, so I was pretty pleased with the outcome.

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.

Get up, get-get-get down.

Alright! As I have been promising for weeks, without further ado, here are the crazy shoes I recently purchased (no regrets!):

You may recognize these as the Jeffrey Campbell Alexa wedge booties that I mentioned in my last post. They are tremendously comfortable despite not looking it at all, which really characterizes my favorite type of shoes. I try not to wear outfits out of the house without being willing to experience a crazy emergency situation -- up to and including the zombie apocalypse -- in them because you never know what can happen on a night out on the town.

I hope to get a chance to post again soon, but classes at my university have officially started as of today. Also, it's snowing again! I am displeased with this development. Anyway, I'll update [hopefully] very soon!

Walking tall.

For many months, I have had a huge thing for wedge booties. As you know, I desperately love outrageous platforms and heels, so these are right up my alley. It all started with the Acne wedges:

Upon seeing these shoes for the first time, I came to the conclusion that they were (a) unbelievably attractive and (b) out-of-the-question expensive. However, I was not deterred as the style became rather popular and many more options surfaced. Observe:

These are Dolce and Gabbana/suede/even more expensive, but they're not thoroughly bad-looking, right?

I then noticed these Jeffrey Campbell 99 Zip Wedges that were dramatically less expensive. Now we were starting to get somewhere.

These are called "The Dancer" by Illex Kinni, although they are not my first inclination when thinking of dancing shoes. However, they are fantastic and I really love the blue lining and little side bows. Tempting, I must say.

And then, when all hope was nearly lost, I stumbled upon the Jeffrey Campbell Alexa wedge booties. Why, Alexa, has no one told you that you are a dead wringer for the Acne wedges? And far, far less expensive? And the answer to my prayers?

Let me just say that I may have purchased one of the aforementioned pairs of shoes. And I do not regret it because I love them, they are fabulous and we all are entitled to a few extravagances now and then. ♥♥♥

I will post photos of them very shortly!
