A wonderful Tweet<3 brought this shoe designer to my attention. Her summer heel and purse collection has me salivating. The shapes are a mix of playful and traditional, with unexpected details. The colours bring to mind fresh cut lawns, delicate roses in black lacquer vases on windowsills in midsummer evening light, and the silver glint of the sun hitting the wet scales of a fish jumping out of the water as you take in an afternoon by the lake. In buttery, creamy leathers, these accessories and shoes have me dying inside.

The lucite “glass” heel on the sage grass metallic leather sandals is a nice, completely unexpected, but refined detail.
