Hello Halo's
Jeffrey Campbell Holographic Platforms-the ad shows the shoes paler than they actually are
J. Campbell's signature crossword shoe box
My Jeffrey Campbell Hologram shoes arrived and I thought I would review them for you guys. Jeffrey Campbell designs as most of you know are rather "out there" with certain styles showing innovation while other designs look just plain silly. For me, I fell in love mostly with the Foxy platforms because the rest are too far fetched to consider wearing. Unusual is good in moderation along with the practicality factor or else they just end up looking like "costume" shoes that you will either probably let sit in your closet forever after the novelty wears off or break them out for Halloween.
I chose the "Adi" shoe not only because it goes with the current glam seventies style trends but because even after the trend wears down they can still be beautifully paired with summer sundresses, denim's and can be worn around the holidays when a little glimmer & sheen adds that celebratory drama to party outfits. So although I will not be wearing these to the grocery store I'm sure there will be plenty of uses for them. Besides, you guys know how I lust & fiend for anything holographic lately. But if you want to know the real reason for me purchasing these it's because I thought they would go perfect with an outfit I am planning on wearing for my upcoming birthday next month, these shoes looked as if they were made for that look. This was a sort of an early birthday gift purchased with a gift card given to me.
Some info on the these shoes:
Sizing: JC either runs one size large or 1/2 size smaller depending on the shoes. This style is true to size. I usually wear an 8 and this fits true to size. I tried on 7.5 because I thought they ran big but it was sooo tight! And sometimes I can wear a 7.5 in other brands so don't go down a size.
Platform heel: Constructed of wooden material measuring at 5 inches in height with a 2.5 platform.
They have crisscross straps which are a little annoying but hopefully my feet will adapt after breaking them in. They are actually comfortable to wear and your feet stay balanced.
The color: These thick plastic type holographic rainbow gold. The varying faceted shades when the light hit the shoes are gold with blue, green, violet shifts. In low light the rainbow colors are not as visible but are more apparent in the brightest lighting.
They also come with two separate dust bags for each individual shoes.
In other news:
I wanted to make a quick mention I will be away for a birthday celebration starting this weekend and will be returning around the end of next week so stay tuned for all the review on products I didn't get around to testing yet such as that Luster White system recently sent to me that I tweeted about. There are also more guest posts coming up and I started a little undercover fashion detective mission to bring you guys the low down on a current shopping craze that's changing the face of how we purchase products. I'm looking forward to doing that write up for you guys. I'm also looking into doing a special health feature on something that is close to my heart in memory of someone and will ask for blogger help in this matter as I think most women think of doing things like this but don't have all the behind the scenes facts or might be scared to try as I have been. I'm also going to try to update my abandoned foodie blog later tonight with my Arancini (rice balls) recipe. I think I need 8 arms to do all the things needed to be done in a day! But I haven't forgot about it so please be patient and thanks to those of you who subscribe to Project Lucania as it means a lot to me. I wish everyone a safe happy weekend. Stay beautiful! XOXO
