Making a Statement.

Hello all!


Hope everyone is having a great week so far. 


Not sure if it's been apparent or not, but I have a slight obsession with statement jewelry. I love the way a piece of jewelry can tie an entire outfit together.


One of my favorite pieces of jewelry is the cocktail ring (or the dinner ring, statement ring, etc). I think big rings are a great way to make an outfit stand out without being too flashy or obvious.


So, I selected a few of my favorites from my jewelry box to show all of you. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Shoe Art.

Hello all!


So I'm sure it's already apparent but I have an OBSESSION with shoes. I could literally open up my very own shoe museum. There is just something special about the perfect shoe that ties an entire outfit all together! That's why I cannot wait for spring... so I can throw my boots aside already!


There are certain shoes that I buy for aesthetic reasons... they're just so delicate, different or colorful! I have to admit that they usually stay in my closet because I'm too afraid to ruin them... silly I know!


Here are some fabulous photos I found of "Shoe Art":

We all know these McQueen babies!

You also need to check out the Virtual Shoe Museum and the Bata Shoe Museum... they're fabulous. I've actually been to the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto, Canada and it's awesome!


What do you think of these? For the feet or for the museum? Do you have a favorite pair of shoes you refuse to wear outside and "ruin"?


KIU,
