Candid Cool Blog Custom sneakers

Here's some sneakers from the Candid Cool website that look like they could have been custom made. The ones with the red tongue are pretty interesting, and it wouldn't be difficult to alter a pair of store bought sneakers to get this look.

Converse altered

Here is an interesting idea that I got from the Style Bubble website. I am working on making my own altered Converse Chuck Taylors, and this is really unique! (See picture on bottom left.) I think I could make the top part, but I'm not sure where I could get the platform soles. Anybody out there have any suggestions? On the other hand, on me those big platforms would probably just like like Frankenstein feet, not cute like in this picture.

Columbus (Ohio) Art Festival

Here are some of my favorite pictures taken at the Columbus Art Festival this past weekend. The quality of the art was very high, and most of it was pretty expensive! They moved it this year to the downtown area, and it was a lot easier to find a parking place nearby.

Record Album Cover purse

This past weekend I went to the Columbus, Ohio Art Festival. While I was there I saw this great purse, and I just had to have it! This is an actual album cover that's been laminated. This was the first record album I ever had and my Dad got it for me when I was in kindergarten, which was around 1964. I had this album for many years and played it over and over again.

Oslo Stil girl

I love this girl! This is how I like to dress sometimes on the weekends. Love the colored glasses, graphic design tee, bright-colored jeans and converse sneaks. After seeing this, I'm more excited about having time off this summer so I can dress however I like!

Seeing this makes me wonder if I should also get the tattoos on the one arm. I might if I looked this cool!

Styleclicker blog Superheroes

Check out the recent posting on the Styleclicker blog! They have some very cool people modeling in front of very large comic-style pictures. I wish I would have thought of this idea! (Where did they get these cute guys?)

Kaboodle.com spring dress contest

Hey, I noticed that Kaboodle.com is running a best spring dress competition, and it looks like there's some really great entries. As of today, you can still go there to vote for your favorite. I picked several that I liked to post here. Of course, I tend to prefer the ones that are more original and/or handmade. There's some great inspiration here for sewing projects!
