Jane from Sea of Shoes announced her collab with Urban Outfitters yesterday on her blog...

i love the lace up boot...but the rest? doesn't remind me of Jane, at all... huge fan of 17 year old Jane and her style, and mostly her ability to acquire such expensive pieces... i would expect more from this collab, but im sure the pull back was on UO's end...
