SHOES OR ART?

I used to think that shoes were something that were worn to cover your feet from the blistering snow, or the unbearable heat. But in reality.. they are so much more. Shoes are like art in today's society. Next time your walking in the city, instead of looking at the head in front of you, take a second to look at your feet.. and the feet around you, I promise you, you will find at least one pair that will blow your mind. I was amazed at what I found, now let me amaze you.






How can you play the Gameboy and walk at the 
same time?


Love hearts to a whole new level







One or two shoes?


No... you aren't seeing things,
there is in fact a spider stored inside
this shoe.


These shoes, are starting to appear on
runways, they are the next big thing, 
watchout.

SUMMER MUST HAVES

it's spring time, which means no more heavy jackets or winter clothes. It's that one time of the year when you can step out of the house in a cardigan, singlet and a pair of jeans, and won't feel too hot, or too cold. It's the in between season, and I love it. Here are some must have items to keep in your wardrobe this spring/summer.


Ruffled scarf by Metalicus $75  
chuck this on with a white tee and your 
favorite pair of jeans and off you go




Denim Buster - Dotti $49.99 - paired with the scarf above
and a pair of black jeans, seriously cute outfit.



What would an outfit be without O.P.I?
check these out.



if you don't smell good... no one wants to look at you,
put some sexy perfume on. Highly recommend this one. 
keeps you smelling like a summer butterfly, and its not too
expensive either! $6 - superstar.

PRETTY TOES

yes, it's that time again...  that time to let your toes be revealed to the world after been covered up for the winter. I admit that I do resent my toenails in the winter time... but when the time comes to put on your favorite pair of summer sandals or Havaianas you want your toes looking as pretty as ever. Go searching for your favorite shade of nail polish, or head down your local nail bar and get a pedicure, it really does make you feel so much better!

I adore O.P.I, their color ranges are the best, and the names are even better. I could sit on their website and be amused for three hours, just looking at their products, but I guess thats just me.

The OMBRE effect

summer is on it’s way and this calls for some new hairstyles! What’s really in this summer regarding hair is something called the ombre effect. It’s basically when your hair is naturally or not naturally dark at the root and slowly becomes light towards the tips of your hair. A true beauty like Rachel Billson demonstrates the gradient effect superbly, take a look



Drew Barrymore possibly the best
example I have come across yet,


Even something slightly more subtle
does the job just fine, Leighton Meester 
demonstrates her ombre hair



Summer seems like the perfect to lighten up those dark roots from winter, bleaching can damage your hair, so try going for light tint at the ends of your hair, or if you have highlights in your hair, let them grow out, it should create a look somewhat like the ombre. If you have light colored hair, ask your hairdresser to darken up your roots for summer!
