New Sandals

by Meredith

Even though I hate to see summer come to a close, I love that sandals are on sale this time of year! I'm a sucker for BOGOs.  I was at Famous Footwear last week looking for wedding shoes I'll wear Labor Day weekend and of course found something else.  These are the new Carlos sandals I found. I love them and had to share! Have a great weekend!

 

Moccasins

One of my favorite, most comfortable, and I think stylish, pair of shoes are my Minnetonka moccasins.  They feel almost like slippers, but in my opinion are dressy.

DIY Miss Piggy's $595 Pink Glitter Heels

by Meredith

Miss Piggy has expensive taste that I love. To promote her newest Muppets movie, Miss Piggy charmed her way into the footwear aisle of Saks Fifth Avenue.  The fashionable pig has inspired an envy inducing pair of heels, the Jerome C. Rousseau for Walt Disney Signature Diva Glitter Pump, for sale in January.  The only issue?  The official movie merchandise sells for $595.  So, how can you DIY for less?

 This is super easy and a great way to rejuvenate a pair of worn out heels.  For this version I found an example of someone who used a worn-out pair of bright pink heels.

What you need:

• High heels
• Glitter
• Acrylic glue
• Sandpaper
• A paint brush
• Spray-on lacquer (find it amongst the spray paints)

How to:

1.  Clean the shoes, and then lightly sand them to rough up the surface so the glue sticks properly.

2.  Mix the glue and glitter together in a container.

3.  Paint the shoe with the glitter glue.

4. Sprinkle the shoes with extra glitter to fully coat them. Don't worry about getting glitter inside the shoes, just clean them up once the glue has dried.
5. Once you are happy with the glitter and it has dried, spray the shoes with a coat of spray on lacquer. This will stop the glitter from falling of.
