Jeffrey Campbell Creates Mind Illusions with Clear Shoes

Despite what top designers including Christian Louboutin are saying, the YNS community remains lukewarm towards the clear shoe trend. You say they’re like expensive jelly shoes and that they need air holes. They also have that tendency to give you “foot fog”, which is that embarrassing situation where your shoes are all steamed up because feet happen to naturally sweat.

Still, that’s not stopping forever boundary-pushing shoe label Jeffrey Campbell from taking a shot at the trend and wow, did they ...Read more

Hit or Miss? The Strappy ‘Decoupata’ from Christian Louboutin

When I spotted the ‘Decoupata’ from Christian Louboutin at Barneys today I wasn’t sure how I felt about them. While I like the two tone design and think the gold platform and wooden heel add a nice touch, I’m not crazy about the toe ring element. I definitely think this heel could have worked better without it as more of an open toe strappy bootie style as opposed to being more of a sandal.

If I wore them I’d probably go ...Read more
