Happy Valentines Day...to Me!

Wishing everyone a wonderful Valentines Day!  I hope you have someplace to go and someone to spend it with...if not, you can be like me and spend money instead!  :-)

I'm deciding which pair of "love"ly shoes to treat myself to today.  Any suggestions?

These are my choices:

This might be the only way I get flowers today...
Unlisted - Natural Glow (Dark Red Satin) - Footwear

These look fun and funky from Vivienne Westwood!

Vivienne Westwood - Anglomania + Melissa Skyscraper II (Red) - Footwear


I always fall in love with Badgley Mischka - especially these!
Badgley Mischka - Janni (Red Satin) - Footwear

These look nice too - a dark red and a bit conservative - but probably comfy!



Naturalizer - Lennox (Kirsch Red Shiny) - Footwear


So what do you think? Any of these or can you suggest something else?

Shoetastic Crafts

Since it is the month of love, I decided to let my creative juices flow and come up with some ideas with which to spruce up the celebrations. In addition to Valentine's day, we will also be celebrating hubby's and my anniversary and my birthday this month. Seeing all the delicious and creative recipes got me started on a new creative tangent.

So it happened that I found some cute ideas on Pinterest. All the great craft ideas not only inspired me for the month but for school projects, ornaments around the house and much more.

 Do you know what these are? They are shoe-licious cupcakes! They are so cute that I am thinking of trying them out tomorrow and then making them for each celebration as well. I adore cupcakes and shoes equally and this is the perfect combination. You are right - they are probably too pretty to eat...  HAHAHA!! Who am I kidding? Saying no to cupcakes? Not likely!
A friend will always appreciate a pretty handmade greeting card and what better than a shoe card? Use some beads, ribbons and pretty paper and you will be BFFs - forever. It is also a great idea for market day at your child's school.
Kids bored? Give them a bucket of Lego and tell them to make you some shoes. I don't suggest you wear them. We all know what happens when you trip over a loose Lego - it usually happens in the middle of the night...

Preschool girls usually just love dressing up in Mom's shoes. However, if you help her make her own shoes, she can design them in any way she wants to.


Have you ever done shoe crafts? What is the coolest craft you have seen or created?

Clear the Path for Color Blocked Shoes

Color blocked is not only trendy, it's fun and fabulous!
If you feel like wearing a pair of jeans and a white tee,
I think color blocked shoes spice up the look! 
I happen to love this trend right now. It mixes colors
together beautifully and the patterns are delicious.
I never used to like different patterns and colors paired 
together, but now I'm crazy over it! 

So what do you think? 
Are you in love with the color blocked shoes 
to wear during this season and beyond?




I think color blocked shoes are fantastic if you need rescuing
from an outfit you're not sure what to do with.
Sometimes all I want to do is throw on a pair of jeans or a black skirt,
paired with a simple top, and be on my way.

Color blocked shoes bring the perfect pop of color and
style to any ensemble! 
I can't wait to get a pair of color blocked shoes soon.
