I’m sure you all have come across Jane Aldridge’s fabulous blog Sea of Shoes and have already heard of the capsule collection she did with Urban right? Well, I thought I’d take the time to highlight it because it is actually worth mentioning. If there is any blogger out there that deserves to design it’s definitely this girl. At only 17, she is great at styling, and knows what she wants in a shoe.
I am anxious to see the collection in person next month and I just hope that they don’t fall into the same price point range as her own personal shoe collection!
Here’s the press release and pics from her site Sea of Shoes, where she is currently reporting from Tokyo. Lucky girl!
“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.”
This collection definitely screams Jane Aldridge, but I’m holding out for the Brown Peep Toe knee highs

If I manage to leave with anything at a decent price I’m pretty sure I’ll be happily prancing out of there like this too…
designed by yours truly!! See you there!
