Tread Alert - Brogue Fever

Just browsing the internet for the latest trend and Brogues caught my eye.
I am in search for covered shoes since we are headed into Fall.
  I can't wear sandals all year round.
  I need to start eyeing shoes that cover my toes.
That is when I came across these. I love them!
I even have a pair, but I did not know they were called Brogues.
I always referred to them as Wingtips.
But a wingtips ARE BROGUEs
The Brogue is a style of low-heeled shoe or boot traditionally
characterized by multiple-piece, sturdy leather uppers
with decorative perforations (or "broguing")
and serration along the pieces' visible edges
and found in one of four toe cap styles
(full or "wingtip", semi-, quarter and longwing)
and four closure styles oxford, derby, ghillie and monk.
 
I would love to have all of these but come on
$800 for some shoes!?!
It ain't going to happen.
So, I selected the unreasonable to the reasonable priced Brogues
looking forward to the day I can get a pair.
My favorite are
Superdry Premium Brogue Shoe for $300

UPDATE a/o May 2012 Because I love to work with my hands and create a variety of things. I thought I could make my own mannequins.  I used the paper mache' technique to make my mine. See below for step by step on how to make your own WO-MANNEQUIN Materials : Grocery bags, wallpaper paste and tape. Tools required: brush, box cutter, plastic wrap Grocery bags Bags from my local store Wallpaper paste (premixed) purchased from hardware store Boxcutter purchased from hardware store Method : Papier-mâché technique What is Papier-mâché?

How to Choose the Right Earrings for your Face Shape

Image
I love to make jewelry; earrings included. But I have to admit not every style is right for every Woman. Depending on your face shape some earrings types are better than others. The types of earrings you wear should depend on your FACE shape. The four basic shapes are highlighted below. SQUARE SHAPE What is a square-shaped face? - sides of your face will be straight - face will be nearly as wide as it is long - your jawline will be defined, with only a minimum curve                                                                        - strong jawline                                                                      Best EARRINGS for square-shaped face - earrings with rounded designs - elongated earrings, especially under the chin line - dangling earrings - hoop earrings These styles are considered excellent because they add a softness to the facial angles *avoid very wide, bulky, square earrings Famous square-shaped  face celebrities
