FASHION FIND: Shoe/Boots By Jeffrey Campbell

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

karmaloop fashion find jeffery campbell boot

This very cool shoe/boot called “Why Stop Shoe In Brown” has got a lot of drama going on!  The studded wood 5 inch platform heel is a definite scene stealer. We liked it because it’s unusual and packs a lot of style into a small price. It’s a good buy at $164.00 from Karmaloop’s Jeffrey Campbell shoe designer collection. His other interesting ‘pop’ booties are worth checking out as well. A fave is the Tick ankle booties in black.

Another absolute LOVE is this legging/sock type shoe called the Connie Boot with sheer mesh uppers. Seriously too cool for school! Wear it with patterned opaque hose in the fall for maximum fashion impact!

I think Jeffrey Campbell just became our fave shoe designer for urban, affordable footwear with that “something special” factor!

FASHION NEWS: Counterfeit UGGS Cause Long Term Injuries

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

uggsWe all love to get a good deal on the hottest fashion trends, but a study came out of the UK today warning women not to buy counterfeit UGGS. The imitation UGGS may be fashionable, but doctors have found that these cheap shoes are actually harming your feet.

Doctors warn that couterfeit UGGS could cause foot deformities, back ache and pain in the feet. This is all due to poor foot support. Your feet slide around in the shoes causing your foot arch to flatten and wear on your joints from having to walk awkwardly.

The original UGGS start at around $140 for the classic short boot. The boots are hugely popular with young girls, spawning a market of imitation UGGS boots that these teens can afford. Doctors are warning parents to not allow developing girls to wear the imitation UGGS for too long.

By dictionary definition, counterfeit is something ”made in imitation so as to be passed off fraudulently or deceptively as genuine.” These are the shoes that are trying to be passed off as real UGGS and not to be mistaken as potential quality versions of the same boot style by another footwear maker.

The fashion industry is also fighting back against the rise in counterfeit merchandise. This week Burberry fileda lawsuit against TJX Co (the company that owns TJ Maxx) for selling counterfeits and Coach filed a suit against Kmart Corp. Fendi won two separate counterfeiting lawsuits in less than a month.

If you are unsure of whether your goods are fake, check out our post here to help you determine if the item you purchased is fake.
