As a rule, I am always looking to keep my shoe closet diversified to ensure that there are multiple options for wardrobe pairing. A printed shoe was something I was lacking, but then life brought me the IRIZA. The CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN IRIZA pump is a HalfD'Orsay that is offered in several colors, fabrications, and heel heights. I opted for the satin leopard-print version from Spring / Summer 2014 in 100mm. With a pointed toe and a cut out vamp it is a rather classic style that will work with a pant or a dress, but the print adds character. Not to mention that black and white is always a classic combination. This LOUBOUTIN was a great investment and as you know, I like to take care of my investments. Before I wore these, I had the bottoms covered with rubber to safeguard their longevity. This also ensures that my red soles remain red on my feet and in my soul.

Every dress I add to my wardrobe has its own story. The story usually begins with me scouring the web, flipping through a magazine, or perusing my favorite boutiques looking for love. Sometimes, love finds me. It would seem that beautiful frocks and I have a mutual love that is constantly bringing us together. This particular frock found me in the way of a selfie.

I was recently shopping around Soho when I found this painting at the corner of Prince St. and West Broadway. It is a piece by local artist ANGELA CHINA. She was selling some of her awesome art work and I couldn't resist making a purchase. We had a nice little chat about her process, background, and inspiration. Ultimately, I choose this piece from her GumShoe collection. A lot of her work bore a heavy fashion influence and I liked them all, but there was something about these shoes. I loved the idea of a pair of Louboutin like shoes slightly blemished by a piece of chewing gum. I think it's a bit of a beautiful contradiction. The piece roughly measures about 13 inches by 25 inches and has a black wooden frame. China made a print of and painted over to create a nice textured effect. It was a much needed addition to my archives as I'd like for all facets of my life to be fashionable.
