Spotted: Julie of Sincerely, Jules in the Adair, Black!
We love style blog Sincerely, Jules and doesn’t she look fabulous in the Adair hiking boots in Black? And I am in love with her cardigan! We’re always looking for style inspiration and we dig this ensemble, too bad it’s a bit too brisk to be wearing shorts in New York right now. Her photos make us wish we were in California right about now.
Check out Sincerely, Jules!
Find out where you can snag yourself of the Adair hiking boots. They have become an essential part of my wardrobe (not to mention they make your legs look awesome – there’s a 3″ interior hidden wedge).

2010 Holiday Collection: Diva Grey Sequins
The Diva in two-way sequins (available in Black and Grey) is the perfect shoe to take you from day to night. The hidden wedge sneaker provides all-day comfort and the two-way sequins spice up the sneaker to elevate your every day look.
2010 Holiday Collection: Kitty Black
Our 2010 Holiday Collection will be hitting stores any day now! We’re so excited to share the collection with all of you…check out the full collection here!
The Kitty style (pictured above) is a concealed wedge boot with side zipper available in Putty and Black – a hot silhouette and comfortable!
We’ve brought back the Diva hidden wedge sneaker – available in two-way sequins and satin/patent leather with friendship pins (remember friendship pins from the 80′s – this is our take on the fad. Pins are removable).
If you’re looking for a tall boot, the Thea and Mallory boots feature a 2″ interior wedge on a 1.5″ stacked heel for a total of 3.5 inches of height.
Get into the holiday spirit and spread the 80%20 love!

Ce Ce featured on CARDIGAN by Lynne Hiriak’s website!
Our friends at CARDIGAN by Lynne Hiriak recently celebrated their site’s new redesign and shop! We think it looks fabulous!
A new feature on their site is their Jumping Series showcasing friends and members of the Cardigan community. The idea came about after their model Caroline, was goofing off at their photo shoot (she had the great luxury of modeling wool sweaters for 2 days in a row in over 90 degree heat) and she was getting a little silly! It launched the idea of creating a series of fun portraits and to this day over 60 people have jumped for CARDIGAN!
And Ce Ce is one of the featured jumpers on slide 12!
