Sale Bargains- Jeffrey Campbell Damsel

May I introduce to you the Damsel.

These shoes rightfully deserve the wow factor.

I was interested in the spike shoe trend but thought they were extremely overpriced and kind of over replicated. The only spike shoes I would have been happy with were the Jeffrey Campbells but I just wasnt prepared to pay the price and was more than satisfied with my Burgundy Jeffrey Campbell Litas  well this is until Soletrader had their sale.

Believe it or not I got these shoes for £30, RRP is £145. I believe that is a similar price to the Primark lita replicas .So I was more than happy to pay for real leather shoes with the striking hardware.

 I just cannot wait to wear these with a really girly simple outfit to give the look a punch. The only thing is the huge platform makes my 5ft9 height more closer to the 6ft mark.....but that has never stopped me before.

I must say as far as sale bargains go these must be among one of my biggest triumphs, but that wouldn't be without a thanks to Stephanie aka Nerd About Town posting about this steal on Instagram.

What do you think of these shoes, would you wear them?
Whats your best ever sale bargain been?

Trend: Studs & Spikes

Hello there.

Today Ive collated some bits that I have seen much of in around Internet-shopping-land.

Studs and spikes are everywhere at the moment and being featured in a lot of next seasons releases. 

Here there are lots of different bits and bobs to inspire you in the studs and spikes department (oooo er!). I really like how you can take a really girly outfit and rock it up a little bit with some added metal.

10. Stud And Spike Shoes- Ebay Link

As a big lover of embellishments its obvious that the amount of effort in producing such items is reflected in the price (their a bit fiddly you see). With that in mind I have included some pyramid brass studs so that if you ever felt like giving studding a go yourself who am I to stop you!

Saying that I must admit I have some Levis still hanging up waiting to be studded. I hope this collection of items shows that when it comes to spikes and studs it needn't be in your face scary and gothy, sometimes a subtle stud or spike can really accent an outfit or bring it up to trend.

Do you like the studs and spike trend?
