Colour block

I am loving all the bright colours in our summer collections at the moment. Shoes are Pulp and Lipstik. This is simplified from our current look book.

Float like a butterfly

I think / I hope I found the perfect parkour shoes by accident today. They are super light with a really thin rubber sole. I can't wait to try them out on Saturday. I'm a bit dubious about the construction of the shoe; the sole may just tear away on the first wall run, but worth giving them a try anyway.

My name is Kat and I'm addicted to boots

I impulse-purchased these babies last Sunday after I broke the zipper off the boots I was wearing whilst doing them up. They were on their last legs anyway, but I was still sad because they were on my feet during many great experiences.
I really do love these new ones, and they'll be perfect for the rodeo we're going to next weekend in the country.
(This will be the last boots I buy this season - maybe)

Shoe-obsessed? ME??

Since I can't wear my gorgeous new heeled boots because of my ankle injury, I bought these cute flat ankle boots down in Sydney. I've worn them every day this week, I think I need to give them a rest now. Windsor Smith, RRP $139.95 IIRC. (I can't seem to find them on their website)

Happy Shoeday to me!

I'm a week early but today I treated myself to a new pair of boots for my birthday. I've been eyeing these off since about January when I saw them lined up with all the Winter stock at the client's HQ.
Sadly, I cannot take these little puppies out for a spin as I experience sharp pains in my right (injured) ankle when I wear, so I'll have to wait for probably another couple of weeks before I can wear them out. Sadface.
For the footwear aficionados, they're RMK, leather upper and lining, and RRP $199.95

Winter at Pulp

In January we shot the campaign for our other in-house brand, Pulp. It was all the same crew, except for the retouching, which was done by ColourChiefs this time, and we also had a male model, Matt Johnson from Dally's.

Winter at Pulp Noir

I can finally share our latest seasonal images that we shot back in December.
My job in this was the art direction. Our wonderful model Alexandra was from Dallys, and the campaign was shot by Paul Giggle. Hair & make-up by Tania Travers. We shot in studio and all backgrounds were comped in by the wonderfully talented retoucher Justin Overell who is amazing, and whose work I love love love!
I am particularly happy with the shoe close-ups, as I wasn't quite sure if they was going to work as I envisioned but they came together easily on the day. To check out some shoes go to www.pulpshoes.com

Before & After: change of colours...

I am not really a crafty, DIY-kinda person, but I was inspired by this post about improving some moccasins with block colour.
I bought this pair of shoes on a whim in Sydney after walking in high heels for a couple of hours, so I needed something flat, comfy and soft. The colour doesn't really fit into my wardrobe, and I find them difficult to keep clean, so I decided to give them a make-over.

 

The end result:

 

The process: Lots of cling wrap, and two coats of each colour...

 

 

 

The colours:

Enjoy. KKxx

Innovative VM for sneakers

Our client just got back from a big buying trip overseas. He took this picture of a display of sneakers in one of the big department stores. Pretty nifty!

Birthday Shoes

I'm a VIP member at Tony Bianco, and I highly recommend it to everyone. For your birthday they send you a special offer for 30%  (!!) off a purchase (however many shoes you want, just buy them all at once). What a deal! I was trying to choose between the cute peep-toe platform and the over-the-knee boot in suede and asked Ton for his input, but instead he decided to buy me both pairs for my up-coming birthday. He's the best!!
They arrived at work today, and are divine!

Thanks, honey!! xxx
