Deadly Night Shade

The much anticipated Shadow Spike booties by Jeffrey Campbell are finally in stock!

Even I could not resist trying these demons on!

These spikes are not kidding around… but leave it to team JC to make sure you dont actually puncture a vein.

The inner spikes are much more flat and dull than the outer. So you will just be attacking innocent passerby’s and not yourself!

Available in Black Leather and Black Patent. Get them quick because they are sure to disappear faster than you can say

Look of the Week: T-Shirt Chic

Posted on by

I find something very sexy about a casual tee paired with high heel shoes. If you’ve never done this, I recommend you try! It says “Yes, I’m hot” but still very down to earth… a.k.a., approachable. Let me show you how it’s done with Miss Leah’s outfit, and maybe you can take a stab at it this glorious long weekend!

We accessorized here with….

Blot on that red lip for an extra touch of badass and you’re done. Statement tees work best for me — it’s gives your crush a reason to come talk to you… (Maybe we should turn this into a how to get a the guy post?? I kid). At the end of the day, always dress up for yourself. You are more than worth it!

Shopper’s Resolutions: Vintage in 2012

Posted on by

I’ve often professed my interest in vintage apparel, but with a short attention span and a lack of focus I have never been able to seriously scour the racks for a good find. We’ve heard countless reasons for buying vintage including the facts that it is resourceful, one-of-a-kind, and generally higher quality materials. Karmaloop is home to many bona fide vintage hunters, with many of them selling on Kazbah, Plndr, or Etsy, and I’m hoping that in 2012 I can learn some of their tricks. If you’re in the same camp as me, why not fulfill this sartorial promise with a New Year’s Eve dress? Great way to put your resolution to work! Here are some of our picks for satisfying party pieces, all from *Vintage Boutique.

Above: the Outlander Dress, the Sequined Berry Dress, and the Black Eye Cardigan.

Look of the Week: But Baby It’s Cold Outside

Posted on by

We have to admit, this look is might be a little too scandalous for the average company Christmas party, but who’s judging? Besides, you’ll be the talk of the office well into the New Year – embrace the added attention.

Show a lil’ skin and turn heads break necks in this sexy look!

Our model and lovely Karmaloop receptionist Christy is wearing Motel’s body-hugging bodycon dress with spiraling heart shaped metallic ribbon detailing at the bust (The Meredith Dress in Charcol & Black).  For added warmth she layers her look with Jack BB Dakota’s Perla Jacket, a soft, shaggy textured open front jacket with a shawl collar. Jeffrey Campbell’s metallic embossed, open toe wedges (The For Real Shoe), Mata Hari’s Uma Clutch in Red Leather, and jewelry by Disney Couture and Soho Collection complete this look.
