flat-out fabulous- OCTOBER GIVEAWAY

October 1, 2009

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

I should tell you that I have a thing for shoes. Accessories in general, really, but especially shoes. And lately, I run into a pair of gorgeously adorned ballet flats everywhere I go- ballet flats with flowers, ballet flats with ruffles, ballet flats with ribbon, ballet flats with little bows and big bows. I love them all! I feel like these types of fabulous shoes are the perfect punctuation for an understated outfit (a cashmere 3 quarter length sweater and jeans, for example).

So when Jordi came up with the brilliant idea of creating ballet flats with exchangeable adornaments, I was beyond thrilled. A whole repertoire of be-dazzled shoes without having to buy a whole fleet of new footwear? Glory!

And then when we actually made them- oh, friends- they exceeded my (kind of high) expectations. If you live in Denver, you know this because I’ve worn them every day for the last week with a different adornament each time.

Here is the good news for you in all of this charm-bracelet-for your feet-fabulousness: in honor of this great month of October, we are giving away a pair of these goodies for your tootsies! At the end of October, we’ll send one gorgeously adorned pair of ballet flats to a lucky winner. You’ll also get to choose your shoe color (black or brown) and three pairs of accessories to accompany these little footwear gems. Think of the possibilities- ruffles and medallions and ribbon and buttons and pom poms in every shade you can imagine. Again, glory! AND, to sweeten the deal just a teeny bit more, they’ll come packaged in a sewn-to-suit shoebag (the perfect carrying case for the flats and all their extra ‘shoe charms’).

Even better- you have 3 opportunities to win… you can enter by:
1. Leaving a comment to this post sometime this month. We are having a hard time coming up with a name for our chameleon-like ballet flats. What do you think we should call these little numbers? Leave your suggestions in your comment.
2. Becoming a follower of our blog.
3. Linking to this post from your blog. Bonus points (or chances) may be granted for especially fabulous write-ups, so be creative. Leave a comment with the URL of your link so we can count your extra entry.

Good luck, friends!

    SO ADORABLE! I don't feel like I have any good ideas but you have to get through a lot of failures before you get to the one you like when you brainstorm right?

    So…feet candy, ummm…twinkle toes, fancy feet, trendy tootsies

    okay some of those are REALLY cheesy ๐Ÿ™‚

    I am linking you to my blog right now.

    Hmmm, name ideas…like you said, this is tough! Here's just a couple I thought of (although I like some of the ones already posted! What creative friends you have!!):
    KojoToes, CutsiePatootsies, Frosting on the Feet, FootFlair… yep, that's tough! Good luck!

    These are so cute! Coming up with a name is hard! The only ideas that pop in my head right away are "soulful shoes," "shoes with soul," "sweet souls," "soul sisters" "happy feet." For some reason I can't think away from the sole/soul names! I will try to think of some more.

    As far as a name goes I was thinking:

    which is a ballet word for "small turns"- which you do with your feet! (jord I will show you an example when I see you next :0) )

    These super cute gems have already been named, I am already a follower of the blog, I cannot decide which ones I like best, and I don't know how long I will actually be able to see my feet… but I am pretty sure that these would be the most perfect accessory for my maternity wardrobe so maybe I will win them anyway. Another wonderful creation gals!
