Mary Roks shoes by Jeffrey Campbell
Contributor
Yesterday I didn’t even know these shoes existed. Today, they’re all I can think about. Perforated suede, luxe animal prints, a chunky four-inch wedge and a summery peep toe front: it’s like Jeffrey Campbell invaded my shoe dreams and brought them to life.

Nipple Clogs
Reader Find
And I thought Croc clogs were wrong. Artist Kenny Kirschner created these Nipple Clogs as a cheeky way for woman to show off her assets.
