If I were a rich girl, I would have bought these two items likkkkke yesterday! This Christian Louboutin, gold bell-embellished 'Artemis' shoulder bag is absolutely flawless, with just the right amount of bauble embellishments! But priced at $1,795... I'll just have to admire its beauty online! 




Maison Martin Margiela has designed the perfect warm weather mesh bootie! Finally, a remedy to sweaty feet and tacky sandals but at $1,050... I'm out of luck! This is one footware trend I reallllly hope takes off because I'd certainly buy a pair of these if the price wasn't so high! 
 
 
Are you looking for a fun way to add a little P.O.C (pop of color) to your step without breaking the bank? Remember that pair of your favorite shoes, that you had to retire because they were a bit scuffed up? Break those babies out and give them new life in the form of this AMAZING DIY

I thought these kitty flats were so adorable when I first saw them! Annnnnnnnd then a part of my heart died when I saw the price of these Charlotte Olympia cat flats and I had to say goodbye to the idea of ever owning a pair!
So then the other day as I was browsing one of my favorite DIY fashion sites, PS I made this ... I saw this incredible DIY editorial on how to make them yourself!!! Soooo, I just had to share it with you all!!
