UNIF Hellbounds~ Hot pink


A couple of weeks ago I posted about my turquoise Hellbounds and mentioned I had two pairs so now I'm going to share my other pair. They are hot, neon, ridiculously, and amazingly pink! Just like the others they are super comfortable and easy to walk in. The pink come with extra laces the matching pink and then black. I think I will wear the pink more, I like the black but I think pink is always better! I bought these on black friday from Karmaloop along with some other things so I got 30% off. They were the last in my size so I had to grab them! Karmaloop always has great deals although sometimes it excludes Jeffrey Campbells it almost always includes UNIF.

Damsel Spike




I LOVED this shoe but they were always really expensive so I waited and they went on sale on Nastygal and Solestruck during their black friday deals. I ended up ordering from Nastygal because I ordered another pair of shoes that only had one left and waited for the 40%off the next day at Solestruck so I didn't want to make two separate orders from Solestruck and if I did wait the next day I would only save like $10 so since I had been eyeing these for awhile I didn't want to wait and then them be sold out. Now I have another pair of Damsels and they aren't so painful but for some reason I think these killed my feet way worse then the claw ones, but maybe its because I wore these to Jingleball. Whoops! They look amazing but maybe not for so long. My feet were dying most of the night but so were my friends who was wearing wedges far shorter then mine so maybe it was just to long of a night and any shoe would hurt. They are a 6 1/2" heel with a 2" platform so it's not that bad if you're used to heels. The shoe itself is really great quality like all Jeffrey's. The leather is very soft and pretty and the spikes are heavy duty and SHARP! I really do love these shoes and the Damsel is still probably one of my favorites despite the discomfort.

UNIF Turquoise Hellbounds




Although I love Jeffrey Campbell's there are other great brands. One of my favorites including UNIF. I recently fell in love with this brand. I used to think hellbounds were insanely ugly but now I am a proud owner of two and LOVE them. They are easier to walk in then the Lita (6 "heel 3" platform) and have no arch, but they are harder to style because they aren't as known as the Lita and don't go with every outfit as easily as a Jeffrey, they are also a lot more expensive. I will not buy them full price because there are always special deals so if your intrested I would definatly look into Karmaloop because they have the best deals daily. The hellbounds are 100% real leather and 100% handmade. The turquoise come with matching laces and some other colors come with two pairs but I like the matching unless you have the black then I think a pop of color is fun.
MY rate: 9 out of 10
pros: super cute colors
easy to walk in
gets tons of looks
runs true to size

cons: expensive
not many colors available
hard to style (while not being to "out there" if that makes sense haha)

Jeffrey Campbell The Claw Damsel styled







Im doing something a little different today, I decided to show how to make a statement shoe casual. These are easy to dress up or down but I think for some it may be harder to tone it down. Whenever styling a statement shoes I would say BLACK. Black pants go with every statement shoe and makes it easier because all you need is a top. You can even wear a black top too but since the shoes are black I added a pop of color with this olive anorak from Nastygal. Sorry the pictures are so bad haha but this is super easy to recreate and so cute! The shoes are also from Nastygal. They are black suede with a pewter claw on the back. I couldn't decide between the Damsel and the Lita version but since I didn't own any Damsels when I purchased these I went with them and I LOVE them! They are my new favorite style Jeffrey but for me they are more painful then the Lita but not to bad at all.
