Meet Poetic Licence Shoes

About a month ago I was shopping with my mom and I came across some gorgeous shoes. These shoes weren't just any shoes, they were beautiful in every single way. They were sparkly, artsy, and extremely poetic. Their style certainly matched their name, Poetic Licence. And yes, the "c" in Licence is correct (they are based in London).

I love these shoes because their details are exquisite and the shoes are just so artsy. Art breathed into shoes creates something truly incredible and lovely. I think these shoes are no exception. Take a look at the pumps I snapped a picture of below and tell me you don't see the same thing I do - that these shoes are simply breathtaking.

Now, the image above is mine, but I'd like to introduce you to some other shoes by Poetic Licence that I came across on the internet and I also think are stunning. You'll have to let me know what you think about all of these gorgeous shoes.

I think these shoes are very retro looking with their bow and beautiful design. Plus - you don't see the color green every day either. I would love to wear these pumps. They are so sweet and would look beautiful with a black dress or even a sweet coral dress.

These pumps are also very unique looking. Even though this isn't my favorite pair, I like how different they are. Their shoes are definitely different looking, which I think sets them a part from other shoe brands. The flower and the pop of orange is just too much fun - this would be a great pair of pumps to wear. They would brighten up a fun outfit during the summer time!

 

I think this pump looks like candy. Matter of fact, it reminds me of the board game "Candy Land." Ever played it? It's fun. But anyway, with the fun orange and pink color - these shoes would be fun to wear with a spring time staple! These shoes make me excited for summer to truly be here.

Poetic Licence also offers sandals and flats, which are equally beautiful. I love this shoe above because it has the perfect amount of detail, and it definitely marries vintage with modern. Just look at the beautiful colors and the cute embellishment - I'm about ready to take these shoes home with me right now!

I look forward to seeing what else Poetic Lincence has to offer. They certainly have gotten my attention with their stunning shoe designs. Expect for me to own a pair of these shoes soon and when I do I will definitely be blogging about it! :)

Jessica Simpson Offers Perfect Pumps

Whenever I go shopping I like to snap pics of pumps, especially if they are trendy or super cute. You all know my love for Jessica Simpson shoes, and coming across her pumps (especially new ones), are my favorite!

What I love about Jessica Simpson shoes is that they are all so creative and comfortable! To be honest the last time I've owned a pair of Jessica Simpson pumps was quite a few years ago...but a girl can appreciate them from afar, right? I think it's about time I own a pair of JS pumps and go out and have some fun with them on.

This is a picture I took in Nordstrom I believe when I saw this shoe design. It definitely looks better in person as opposed to on the website. I love the fun colors on the blue, yellow, and green shoe. I think JS definitely did a great job at infusing creativity into these pumps, don't you think?

This pump is my personal favorite. The blue suede and the peachy orange bottom part of the pump looks amazing. So I'm definitely ready to find a fun pair of pumps from Jessica Simpson. Are you?

Sweet Summer Sandals

You all know about my obsession with flip flops and sandals, hence why I thought I would do a post on some seriously trendy shoes I'd love to wear this coming summer. Wearing shoes that keep my feet covered are nice when it's cold outside, but now that it's warming up I'd prefer to wear sandals that keep my feet cool. No more covering up my feet for me! So here are some sweet summer sandals that I have my eyes on...

These sandals from West Seal are really sweet looking. I especially like that they are pink and that they have lots of pretty ruffles!

Super comfy sandals from Footglove that have a soft footbed and are made out of leather?! Yes, please. I just wish they were available in the US. as opposed to the UK. I will have to look into that.

I also think that sandals below with pretty flowers and other fun elements are fun to wear during the summer time, like these sandals below.

What about this pair from Buckle? I'm loving the lace design and sweet accents. This is the perfect pair of summer sandals for me to wear.

I could show you more sandals that are adorable to wear, but this is a good amount of sandals to glance over and love for now. As the months get warmer and the styles get cuter, I might have to cave in and buy a few new pairs of sandals! I can't wait!

New Silver Sparkly TOMS Shoes - What Do You Think?

Lately I've taken quite a liking to Instagram, an application on your smart phone where you can take pictures and post them. Then you can interact with others! It's so much fun - it's like Twitter and Facebook combined. If you're not on Instagram you should definitely join and if you do come and find me, I'm oceandreams4u. I've been having fun posting pics of my latest fashion finds, which of course includes shoes. ;)

So a few days ago I got my first pair of TOMS. I really like them, they're really sparkly and stylish. Plus, as you know, I love that TOMS will match my shoe purchase for a pair of shoes that will be given to a child in need.

 {via my Instagram}

I showed my new TOMS to my family and they think they are hideous looking. They love the idea behind TOMS, but they don't like the sparkles on the shoes. So now I'm coming to you asking you what you think. Are the sparkles too much? Should I have gotten a more basis pair?

I thought it would be fun having a sparkly pair of TOMS and a girl can never go wrong with sparkles, or so I thought. Then I showed it to my mom and she didn't like them. My brother and my dad had an even stronger reaction. Oops, that's not good.

I'm considering taking them back and getting a different pair, but I think I'll wear my pair of silver sparkly shoes proudly. After all, I'm a glam girl and I like my glam shoes. ;)

What do you think of my silver sparkly TOMS?

Perfectly Printed Pumps

Lately I've been seeing a lot of printed pumps arise for spring fashion trends, and I'm not just talking about floral pumps that we saw last season. This season I'm seeing a ton of printed pumps like polka dots, zig zags, lines, different colors with unique designs, and more. Since I'm seeing a lot of printed pumps I thought I'd get your take on this trend.

It might seem rather bold, but the reality is that this is a great trend if you love to wear the basics - such as black and white. Putting on a pair of printed pumps that have bold graphic patterns will become a focal point to your outfit. You may not want your shirt and jeans to stand out, but why not your feet?

I love how patterned shoes have so much personality. They are bold, playful, and like I mentioned before, they also become an instant focal point. Printed shoes will go nicely with an outfit that needs extra color as well. Can't you just picture wearing a red frock with red printed shoes? The pumps will look fabulous with polka dots or a leaf design and will instantly make the outfit come alive!

Besides printed pumps, there are also flats and more to consider. If heels aren't your shoe of choice there's fun and fabulous oxfords and flats that will also look amazing with a fashionable ensemble too. Plus flats might be a bit more comfortable to wear if you plan on being on your feet for a long period of time.

So what do you think of all of these prints? I think I'd like a few printed pumps or flats, but I'd only incorporate them into my outfits sparingly. They are beautiful and bold though and I can't wait to see more printed shoes revealed as they continue to come out in the near future!

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.
