Oh, Jeffrey Campbell

Okay, so I am currently at work.  We’re going to be audited in a few weeks, and to be honest, the pressure is not doing me any good.  I’m actually shaking my knees and when I am done pounding the keys to finish my output for review, I get sleepy.  Even though the fact of the matter is I downed a good venti cup of Caffe Mocha this morning, the caffeine effect appears to be weaning off already, and I can feel the fatigue settling on my shoulders.  It is NOT good at all.  And besides, it is never a pretty sight to have an employee literally fall asleep on the job.

Here I am entertaining myself and introducing (some of my) readers to Jeffrey Campbell.  I don’t know why I haven’t mentioned the company before; they’re most probably the modern god of platforms.  And I say that because I absolutely positively desire almost every single shoe they come up with.  Seriously.

A little backgrounder:  Jeffrey Campbell started designing shoes long long ago.  It wasn’t until recently did his family decide to venture in the fashion business.  Yes, believe you me, it’s a family business.  He has his daughters test his shoes and he never fails to get creative.  Although his distribution range continues to grow season after season, Jeffrey Campbell (the company) remains relatively small.

I know.  It is quite depressing (at least for me) to not own a single pair of his shoes.  Mind you, because of its uniqueness, it comes as no surprise that the price tag is quite steep, especially for the middle class person.  But nonetheless, that is not a reason for me — and the rest of us — to stop dreaming and drooling over these fantastic platforms.

Some people may say they look impossible to walk in, but really people.  Look at the big picture.  Jeffrey Campbell is just making shoes and already making waves in the fashion industry.  His shoes are selling like hotcakes.  I HIGHLY DOUBT that these would be so uncomfortable if they’re selling that fast.

Unless of course, the fashion fierceness level is worth the pain.

If I am not dubbed as a shoe fan after this, well… dub me then.  Hahahahaha.  Oh and just in case you are wondering, I can start accepting Christmas gifts as early as now, provided that they are these shoes.

Jeffrey Campbell shoes range from $115-500.  You may view their retailers here.

Okay, so in the heat of the RH Bill debate on ABS-CBN’s Harapan, I came across this fantastic decision board in Pinterest.

And by fantastic, I mean completely and utterly hilarious! I could have used this when I was in school.

Maximize me!

So I know summer is not really the place to have too much fabric on your skin, but then, I beg to differ.  Maxi skirts are what I am falling for this month, and that’s because of the fabric.  Soft, flowy, sheer and light, these skirts are actually very comfortable to wear, even if they cover more than half of your body.

Of course the risk of you tripping on your skirt is still there, but once you own one maxi skirt with the right breezy feel, I bet you won’t stop.


Damn it woman!  Get your maxi skirt now!

REVIEW: Thor

Dylan and I were supposed to catch Thor on opening day, but apparently, that was what everyone had planned.  We had to push it back a few more days.  However, even if we watched in 5 days after it’s first release, I just have to say, Filipinos are such movie freaks.  I mean really!  The theatre I looked into was sold out at 12 noon!  And I thought I had a good plan.

Good thing, I still managed to get seats for us.  I don’t want the hassle of falling in line, so this is the part where I thank SureSeats! :)

So… moving on…

Dylan had to give me a breakdown of Nors mythology.  Thor is the god of thunder, Loki is the god of mischief, Odin is fantastic papa.  Hahahaha.  Sorry Babe.  Some things didn’t stick.  Don’t worry; I’ll look it up later.

SPOILER ALERT.  SPOILER ALERT.  SPOILER ALERT.

The plan if in case Kate runs

So I read some interesting news the other day.  What if dear Catherine decides to run away from dear Wills?

According to The Register, the Royal Family did not leave out any possible show stopper, including a runaway bride.  The top secret emergency plan included the following:

  • A good chase down the altar
  • Top secret cab pulling out of nowhere
  • Helicopter
  • A fair amount of pleading
  • Some good press

I know right!  They just think of everything.  To read everything about Operation Pumpkin (notice the Cinderella reference there?  As in running away when midnight struck.  How lyrical!), click here.

And for the rest of us that thoroughly enjoyed what could be the wedding of the century (and the strong hint of a modernized monarchy), let us all oggle in these photos.

It’s so fairytale, it makes me siiiiick.  Hahahahaha.  But really, I don’t think you see a gushing prince and commoner everyday yeah?
