Shoe of the Week

Who doesn't love heels? But they aren't always the most practical shoe. Sometimes a girl just needs to wear a flat or a sneaker for that matter. 

So when I saw these sneakers on another blog I had to hunt them down. 

A sneaker with the graphic heel print on the side is a great idea and honestly would be a really fun DIY for anyone with some extra time.  

I would love to take a pair of white high-tops and paint a heel on the side and then either stud or add gemstones to the heel. Okay, Now I have convinced myself. I need to find some high-tops and make these myself. That way I can save myself some money and make them totally unique.  


What do you think? Would make a fun DIY right?

Style Inspiration

Even after going to school for fashion design I never really developed a favorite fashion designer. Most of my classmates found one designer that inspired them and helped shape their own collectoins. I however, could spend hours and hours on style.com searching the runway shows and finding inspiration for all designers but never claiming one as my favorite. I just love how they each with their own idea of what is going to be the next great thing and I love watching how they interpret the trends each season. I love couture lines for their theatrical styles, but my favorite is to always watch the Ready to Wear lines. I find it easiest to find inspiration from the ready to wear lines in order to shape an outfit that I could create from my own closet. 

Even 3 years out of college I still search style.com for inspiration. Today I find myself inspired by the Fall RTW collection from Alice + Olivia. I instantly fell in love with the colors, the textures, the mix of fabrics and the silhouettes.  

Enjoy...

This dress would even make a beautiful wedding dress. 

The texture of this dress makes me wish I could reach thru my
computer screen. 

This dress belongs in my closet. I love that sparkle!

Black and white... perfection!
