Yes you can, but only up to 40%. The cap is at 40% and nothing can make it go over that, so getting items with cooldown reduction once you have 40% is a waste of gold.

Remember though that masteries, runes, pots and buffs (all things that don't use up space in your inventory) can easily give you 40% cooldown reduction.

Personally I used to go for high CDR in the past, but these days I spend more time on landing my spells properly and just building more damage. So I get a lot of damage on each spell I land and then if I get something like blue buff I can just blow the enemy away because then I can spam and have a lot of damage. If that doesn't work out (because they stole blue buff for example) I will build some CDR, but it's not my main focus or core.
