It's been so long since I've posted, but I just wanted to quickly share these amazing creations by Jennifer Collier with you. I've created a multitude of things out of paper before, but never shoes, dresses or gloves! I love her use of found papers. It evokes such a warm, authentic feeling, don't you think?
Embellished flats are an excellent way to add a pop of colour or a little texture, and are a perfect 'something extra' that doesn't demand the spotlight. (Unless you want them to, of course.) Fabulous when one desires to dress up slacks, embellished flats are an excellent alternative to strutting around in three inch heels all day. They can dress down a dress or skirt and likewise dress up jeans! Furthermore, the brightly-colored handbag you covet in this season's most 'now' color? Forget it. Not in this economy, honey. Buy a pair of colorful embellished flats instead...without breaking the bank. A sensible way to incorporate this season's colors into your wardrobe and bring any ensemble up to date, without throwing away too much green.

Are there any others who love shoes as much as I do? Leave a comment and say hi, if you'd like. And if you have a website or a blog, leave a link, too! I'd love to stop by and say hello! :)
Have a wonderful evening!

All right, so as much as we'd like to think it's possible for us all to look like glamazon women 24/7, I've realized it's not. (And hopefully you have too. If you haven't, you're living vicariously through either Gossip Girl, The Hills or Sex and the City and you seriously need to wake up and smell the Absolut Los Angeles.)
So.
That being said, we can still look chic and put together when we run errands, or take our kids to the park or walk inside a restaraunt to pick up takeout that we'll rush home and put in our own serving bowls to pretend like we made it....
Below is a wonderful selection of comfortable, affordable shoes to wear with jeans. None of these have the I-should-be-running-a-marathon-right-now look. I promise. Every woman should have a pair of chic little put on and go athletic-inspired shoes in my opinion.
Also, where do you weigh in on the socks or no socks debate? I'd love to hear your thoughts! Try the socks pictured below. They're heavenly! And practical.

Have a lovely week, everyone!
