TUESDAY SHOESDAY: CARS INSPIRED BY SHOES

I came across this article while on Twitter today and felt somewhat compelled to share it. The article features photographs of cars that were designed with shoes in mind! Some rather crazy creativity.

These cars put those shoes with the wheels on them to absolute shame! Tee hee.

If you love shoes (or cars!) I highly recommend you check it out.

Such a pretty dress! Love all the colours and how it drapes so nicely - amazing!

This one shoulder French Connection dress makes me feel all warm and happy inside. Her accessories are perfect for it and the result is bonafide foxy.

The back detail on this little number is so adorable!
