Conchita with her Lita

I don't like my outfit shots that day. It was my mom who took it and she needs some more tips in taking pictures. 

Last Sunday, I got to wear my Jeffrey Campbell Lita I got from AVA for our school's Golden Anniversary. I attended the Alumni Homecoming celebration. Notice the fascinator? Our batch decided that this was going to be our "theme". Instead of wearing a batch shirt or color.

notice how far my mom was?! and the little boy wanted in too!

she asked me to sit down to showcase the shoes! LOL!

“Jeffrey Campbell is arguably the hottest shoe brand to come to our shores. The response we got for his shoes has been amazing! I’ve never seen anything like it. He’s got a flair for what Filipinas love in their shoes: post‐modern, yet comfortable; edgy, yet sophisticated. Not a lot of people know this, but Jeffrey worked with Marikina suppliers in the past, so the Philippines holds a special place in his heart,” says Carissa Chan of FashionForum, exclusive distributor of Jeffrey Campbell shoes in the Philippines.  

“We’re very excited to have Jeffrey Campbell on AVA. Both brands love to innovate and push the boundaries of what’s possible in fashion. We can’t wait for the private sale to open!” says Abigail Limyuen, AVA assistant brand manager.   

The private sale will run from July 8 until July 22. Set your alarm at 2pm coz I bet there's going to be a mad rush to grab a pair.

Don't forget that there's also a contest on this. AVA-member who has invited MOST number of friends wins a pair of Jeffrey Campbell. Check mechanics below.
