the weather in Brisbane can be quite threatening, + i'm often unsure whether it is going to actually rain or not. + while i'm not v comfortable with the idea of wearing Havaianas to university, i often find myself wearing a pair of lace-ups, both for comfort and practicality.
i have had two pairs of black lace-ups, and one pair of silver, that i have been living in over the last few years, but this year i decided it was important to expand the collection as they are such major staples for me.
recently, i purchased an Acne pair, as well a pair of Deena + Ozzy Lucite Oxfords.
i haven't yet been brave enough to wear them without socks, but when worn with black socks / jeans / opaque black stockings i love the way that the gold toe accent really -pops-.

what did you learn from running your own business?
'..if we'd tried to keep the shop open every day of the week, we'd have had to start selling stuff we didn't want to sell in order to surive, so we'd have been compromising our concept of the shop. it think it's an amazingly good tip for any young designer starting out: try to realise your dream in a way that is subsidised by doing something else in those early days so you don't have to compromise. i basically worked doing anything i could to make money Monday through Thursday and on Friday and Saturday i'd open the shop.'

Great dress. nice... But where to buy the shoes? LOVE them!! Are you selling?
ReplyDeleteahh i think they are too much of a staple for me to sell them, and i have worn them to rags.
ReplyDeletei bought them from Urban Outfitters for a pretty reasonable price - the label is Deena + Ozzy & the particular shoe is called the Lucite Oxford.
i had a quick google search and saw that they aren't available at UO anymore, but perhaps have a look around and you might be able to score them elsewhere :) highly recommended !
