Sea of Shoes for Urban Outfitters
There are soooo many youthful bloggers out there that its hard to NOT think back when you were their age playing around with your friends and throwing New Edition themed parties. With the likes of Tavi (now 13), that one boy taking Lookbook.nu by storm (age 9), my friend Melissa posted Jane’s, Sea of Shoes, new capsule collection for Urban Outfitters on iDR.
Most of you ladies should already know J. Aldridge through her blog about shoes (which I am TOTALLY TOOOOTALLY envious of, to the point that I fight the urge to keep daily tabs on her or else it would just make me sick with jealousy lol) and have already read about her shoe collection launch with Urban Outfitters.
Here are a few photos of what to expect. What do you you think?
“Jane Aldridge may be just 17 years old, but the Dallas-based fashion blogger has an impressive global following on her personal style blog, Sea of Shoes. “Ever since I’ve reached my full shoe size I’ve been fanatical about collecting shoes,” says Aldridge. “That’s how my blog got started, as a means of chronicling my addiction to beautiful footwear and the evolution of my personal style,” she adds.
The magnetic Texas teen has to wear a school uniform five days a week with a one and a half inch heel rule, but outside of class, flats are the last thing you’ll see her wearing. From YSL cage heels and Chanel bow-tie booties to Margiela clogs, Aldridge pairs her favored heels with equally envied outfits. And now, she has found another creative outlet for her passion; designing shoes herself, with the help of Urban Outfitters.
Launching next month, J. Aldridge by Sea of Shoes is a capsule collection of three styles, exclusive to Urban Outfitters. Dramatic knee-high brown leather peep-toe boots feature top-stitched detailing and lacing at the front, black gladiator heels with studs and twin buckle straps, and lace-up, pointy skimmers. “I’m really excited to bring my designs to Urban Outfitters,” says Aldridge. “The inspiration for this collection is a mish-mash of some of the elements of my favorite pairs—sort of Victoriana meets gladiator warrior.”
Can’t wait to get home and try them on!
