Last year, I had created a pair of shoes inspired by fashion at the Oscars.  {You can read that post here.}  This year, I had a few customers ask if we would carry on the tradition, which I thought was a great idea!  So, I polled several of you on facebook, and chose one of your favorite Oscar dresses as an inspiration for a style of shoes.  The name I heard most frequently was the lovely Emma Stone.  {No, I have not seen the Help yet, but I have heard it's amazing!}  Who wouldn't be drawn to that shade of carmine red/pink and over-sized bow!

In creating the shoes, I used the same color of course, and mimicked the draping, gathering at the neck, and opulent asymmetrical bow in a pint-sized shoe rendition:

These shoes are size 8/9. They are soft-soled, one-of-a-kind, and were handmade in our studio. The Emma shoes, along with the gold peep toes in size 12 below {inspired by a very loose interpretation of Stacey Keibler's dress} will be raffled off for charity.
