PRE-ORDER JEFFREY CAMPBELL CLINIC

yes. thats right. you can pre order your pair of jeffrey campbell's clinic wedge.

selling for only $179.95 at solestruck.com. these babies are selling upward of $300 on eBay. theres a limit of 3 per customer. so buy in now and sell on later to make some monies! but keep a pair for yourself, naturally. only sizes US 8, 9 and 10 are left but they said if you don't get in this time round, they will have more at a later date. if i knew they were bringing these shoes back i wouldn't of spent nights searching for them and then win a bidding war for an *ahem* undisclosed amount of money. (ben, don't hate on me. how was i to know?) plus they have free international shipping for orders over $199. which shouldn't be that hard considering all the other shoes they have on offer.

news flash. size 10 is now out of stock. doesn't take long for these loverly shoes to sell does it. sigh. while you are getting some shoes for yourself, buy me a pair of xenon's will you? size 8. you're amazing. thanks!

version 2.0 - new jeffrey campbell, c'est moi.

i've decided to pull down my preious post on the new jeffrey campbell wedges that was a collaboration with Emily.L, winner of the lookbook.nu competition. i believe i went a little hard on my post but i still do believe what i wrote, just that i probably shouldn't of posted it in my moment of grumpyness. i tend to do that a lot, get passionate about something i do or do not believe in, write it out, email someone, forum post (i have banned myself from forums), then realise afterwards that if i took the chance to calm down a little, what i wrote wouldn't of been so heated and in turn possibly insult someone. which doesn't help anyone.

so. once again. in a nicer way, here are the new jeffrey campbell wedges, c'est moi.

you can buy them exclusively on needsupply.com and are only US$135. i'm pretty sure i'll be getting them in black. i've been looking for a pair of studded heels for quite some time now and since i've also recently pledged to only buy wedges, i think i've found my pair. also knowing that the 2 other jeffrey campbells i own are comfortable, i'm pretty positive these will be too as they are only a 3" rise. i still feel though that i should mention as winner of the competition, Emily.L, won a collaboration with jeffrey campbell to make her dream shoe. her entry into lookbook.nu and needsupply.com's competition is a photo post with a pair of baby blue (they look beige) flats from topshop that are pretty much identical to the c'est moi. in her entry she writes: "I love these cus theyre so pretty, and the faded blue, almost denim colour works with almost everything. As much as i love heels, these are so much more practical, and studs make any outfit look better. They are my perfect shoes." i could say quite a few things thats wrong with this, but i won't. i'll leave that up for you to ponder on. this is also where i leave this before i once again start ranting.

that's all for now. i need to find my boyfriend as he went to the 24hr grocery store a while ago and hasn't come back yet.

long past due.

this post is long over due. it's been more than a week, i admit i haven't been posting as much as i was when i started. but that seems to be a habit of mine. i start something new and interesting, i go crazy with it, then it dies away when i see the next new shiny thing. short attention span. having a non-addictive personality has it's pros and cons. pros - i dont smoke nor drink. cons - i'm sure i cost my mother a pretty penny when i swapped from jazz ballet to piano lessons and something else as a child and now ben with all my crafty ventures. although i will admit i have stuck with the crafty-ness, albiet a range of different crafts (in which i need to purchase new materials) but still craft all the same. yay for me. it's progess.

which brings me to my newest projects. i've been lusting over the jeffrey campbell 99's for a while. also the alexa wedge à la acne atacomas. because i know i would never be able to afford the atacomas. when i found stock of the 99's on needsupply.com (half the price of what someone on ebay was selling them for), i kept my eye on them. when i saw that 4 of the sizes already sold out, not mine thank god, i clicked 'add to cart' along with a 'funktional' necklace and some happy socks.

so i'm pretty excited and i can't wait until they arrive in my post box. the next day the 99's sold out of another 3 or 4 sizes, so they only have size 8 left. but what i'm trying to get at is, when i was showing ben my prospective buys he asked if i could just make that necklace myself. it doesn't seem that hard. it's just a bunch of chain messed around. right? well if you have slight ocd in the form of, everything needs to be organised and symmetrical, then it's not as easy as a bunch of mess. i gave it a go, but because i'm always trying to have it balanced it was harder than i thought to complete an 'unorganised' mess aesthetic. plus i wasn't quite sure how i would keep the chains from moving around from my strategically placed loops and drops. my first attempt, i will admit, was kind of pathetic. so when i bought the shoes, i also bought the necklace.

as you can see its dramatically different to the funktional one. but i didnt want mine so long and i used turquoise (it matches the socks). as you can also see its pretty pathetic. the chains move around and it's no where near symmetrical which annoys me a bit. but the most annoying bit is that the chains move around too much, so it clumps together in places. i have although figured out a solution to this while i was attemping my second necklace tonight.

i love moonstone. it's one of my favourite gemstones. that and turquoise. it's needless to say that i will be taking apart the turquoise one and re-doing it completely, to something more like this one. it's not a simple task. this took me close to 2 hours, i guess if i wasn't so pedantic about how each chain falls and where, it wouldn't take as long. but it's attention to detail that really ends up making the necklace work as a whole. my mum and i bought those moonstone beads like 2 or 3 years ago at a yearly bead expo they have somewhere in eastern melbourne, so it's about time i used them. i have enough left to make another one of these that will be going on etsy. but i need to get new chain first, it's amazing how much chain goes into it.

well i think that's it on this topic. i'll be writing up another post about how its twothousandten next. i have a feeling i was going to say something else, but the mac decided to bring down the grey curtain of death and make me restart, so i've forgotten. thanks steve. i also think the length of this post makes up for the lack of posts.

a quick memo. new delivery.

just a super quick hello because otherwise my next post isn't going to be for a while. i'm redecorating my study area, so i guess this is a procrastination post. but i also wanted to share with you my new purchase/delivery. i've been waiting to buy these shoes for AGES. they are vintage pumps from etsy and the seller went on holiday for nearly two months when i was going to buy them. but they are finally mine! such an amazing bright pink colour. i have to wear socks or stockings with them cause the toecap bit is not large enough and you can see my toes.

i don't like it when you can see toes in closed toe'd shoes. it makes the shoe look too big or makes your toes look really squished and fat. blargh.

ps. this procrastination post was too small for my procrastination purposes. need to find something else to do. if only the screens on gameboys were brighter, i'd play pokemons.

need to go to jeffrey campbell clinic. asap.

i know. i know. i'm a bit late on the up-take. well, very late. like white rabbit late. how late am i? late enough to know that the jeffrey campbell clinic wedges are sold out everywhere. i've been trawling the internets for days trying to find it somewhere. it's 4.10am right now, that's how obsessed i am.

gargh. i want. nay. need them so bad. i think i've found a pair that i might be able to get my hands on. i just need to get those said hands on some money first. i'm not telling anyone my source, except for ben, cause i need his semi-permission. selfish. i know. do i care? no way.

plus i want to go see owl city. except he is the supporting act for cobra starship. boo. we are really contemplating going to see his act, then leave. he is so swoon worthy.

i should sleep. but i'm not tired. ah internet fuelled insomia.

i love wedges. with sour cream and sweet chilli.

got these in the mail today! from the uk. they arrived so quick. i don't usually expect things from the uk for like 3 weeks, but i'm not complaining! they are my first tan shoes, my first sandal shoes AND my first platform shoes. for going out on a limb and trying something new, i am so happy with them! they are sooooo comfortable, it's like walking on marshmallows. i could've said clouds, but to walk on said clouds you would have to be really high up in the sky which would render you breathless and you would just fall. for a long time. whereas you can walk on marshmallows to make the comparison. althought i haven't. but i do know microwaving marshmallows on chocolate biscuits is amazing. anyway. they are so comfy i was so suprised. i got told to shut up numerous times from ben... oops.

then going into ninewest because of the 50% off signs adorning the window, i came across these beautiful shoes. when they first came out a few months ago i thought they only came in green and i'm not really a green person BUT they come in black! yay. AND they had my size. amazing. so with ben being also amazing he bought them for me for christmas. boo. i have to wait.
