Jeffrey Campbell Scully

Another day; another shoe purchase. 

One of my latest arrivals direct from Solestruck; the Jeffrey Campbell Scully.

A pre-order from months back, I finally received them about a week ago now.

Jeffrey Campbell is and always will be my shoe designer of choice. Every time I take a new pair out of the box, they never disappoint.

Sticking to my tradition of black platforms. These are a 6 inch heel with a 2 inch grippy platform.

I got my usual size 6 and if anything they feel slightly small, but still wearable. 

I'm not overly fond of the velcro ankle strap, but that can be removed if desired.

As always with platforms; I had no trouble walking in these, they are very stable and well balanced.

I've already worn them in a couple of outfit posts; 'Hocus Pocus' and 'Witch Please' and also with high socks which I really love the look off paired together with these platforms.

Yes Galactic

I've always loved shopping on Solestruck, by far my favourite online store for shoes. When they started there own shoe line called Yes; I was excited to try them.

A lot of them were very much my style- dark colours and chunky platforms. 

I decided on three different pairs- here is the first.

Galactic in black leather. 

Lace up platform boots very similar to my trusty Jeffrey Campbell Tardy's which I wear a lot! When I saw these on the site they were an instant want!

Then once again Black Milk used them for one of their shoots- funny how we have the same tastes ;)

So my two loves merged together and that decided it for me; I had to have them! 

As always Solestruck were wonderful! Easy to order and great customer service; I had my new shoes within a few days :)

I've already worn these out a few times- they didn't need any breaking in! They were so comfy right away and being a platform- easy to walk in too!

I got my regular size 7, which is what I usually buy in boots so I can wear socks with them. They fit try to size, pretty similar fit to the JC Tardy's actually.

So far so good! They are well made and very sturdy. Shiny patent leather without being too in-your-face. I love the square toe, something different from most of my other shoes. 

Overall these are awesome and I would definitely recommend them! I'm really happy with them and they will be worn a lot :)

Deandri Ginger

As you would already know if you follow my blog; these days it's all about Black Milk!
However my blog originally began due to my love of shoes; my first posts were all about my personal collection, new arrivals and shoes I loved, but did not yet own.
I used to buy frequently from Solestruck at the peak of my obsession; at the time Solestruck was the place to go for Jeffrey Campbell's, they had every pair I wanted and I always received great customer service.
My buying slowed around the time that Solestruck dropped down their new arrivals from Jeffrey Campbell, slowing selling out to just a few popular styles. It was a big disappointment for me as I loved shopping on Solestruck over all the other stockists.
It was of course Black Milk that tempted me back to Solestruck, when the new collab between Black Milk x Solestruck was released, I found myself on the website checking out all the new brands.
I found a couple of styles which I loved! One were these Deandri Ginger Platforms in black on black.
I remember seeing Deandri around quite a lot about a year ago, but the styles at the time were not really for me; lots of wooden heels. These of course still have the wooden heel, but in black rather than natural wood.
After I found these on the site, Black Milk's latest photoshoot came out; featuring these exact shoes! It was great to see them paired with the clothes I wear everyday, I ordered them pretty soon after that!
I emailed Solestruck and was told they probably wouldn't be getting them in again, so I had to size up, something I was a bit worried about, but turned out to not be such a big issue. The Ginger runs half a size small anyway so it was really only a half size too big which is nothing socks cant fix ;)
I love the style of these!! I'm really into all things black and witchy right now so these fit that perfectly!
I've worn them out once already. I found that they do squeak when I walk..hopefully something that will go away once they are worn in a bit.
They are very comfy though! Even with the 6.5inch heel. I'm used to wearing huge platforms anyway so these were no problem!
