This is a very pretty pair of purple pointed pumps from Atmosphere. They are made of synthetic materials but have a patent leather appearance to them. Scuffs are clearly shown in the pictures for description detail, but they are actually quite small in real life and are not all too noticeable :)

Size: UK 5 or Eur 38

Shipping: €6 to Ireland, €8 to Europe, €10/US$15 to Everywhere Else

Formal Dressy Pink Metallic Diamante Jewel Sandals - €10

2007-04-12T19:05:00.000+01:00

This is a very elegant pair of metallic pink heeled sandals, decorated with sparkling pink diamante jewels all over the straps. The pictures do not do justice - especially the way the shoes reflect light in different angles - can only be appreciated when they're seen in real life. I've only worn them out once and have kept them in careful storage in my wardrobe since.

Please note that on the left shoe, there's a small portion where the sole is lifted, which can be easily solved with good glue.

They're marked as size 38, but detailed measurements are as follows:

- heel to toe on the inside sole = 9 7/8 inches
- widest part of the sole = 3 1/2 inches
- heel = 2 3/4 inches

Shipping: €6 to Ireland, €8 to Europe, €10 to Everywhere Else

Formal Dressy Diamante Satin Silver Slip-ons Mules - €10

2007-04-12T18:43:00.000+01:00

This is a very elegant pair of mules/slip-ons that are made of silver fabric with a satin appearance, decorated very beautifully with white diamante jewels. I've only worn them out once for a few hours and have kept them in careful storage in my wardrobe.

The soles still have a protective layer of wrapping over them, I was so excited to put them on for my night out that I didn't realise the wrapping was still there - so the shoes come to you with fab new soles once it is removed :)

They're marked as size 38, but detailed measurements are as follows:

- heel to toe on the inside sole = 10 1/8 inches (i normally wear shoes that are 9 3/4 to 9 7/8 inches, the extra inch is important because these are pointy shoes and the feet doesn't go all the way into the front)
- widest part of the sole = 3 1/8 inches
- heel = 2 inches

Shipping: €6 to Ireland, €8 to Europe, €10 to Everywhere Else

[SOLD] Embroidery Handmade Tan Leather India Khussa Sandals - €6.80

2007-04-12T18:03:00.000+01:00

I picked this lovely pair of Khussa shoes when I was in Calcutta over summer. They come to you handmade in every aspect, direct from a government emporium in India that supports local craftsmen and their art. These are not factory made, and so each design only comes in one size. I saw quite a few pairs that I fancied in the shop, but had to pass them cos the shoes were not made in my size.

After trying on many pairs for ages, I found this which fit my feet perfectly! I hate to let them go, but I don't really have much chance to wear them out and would love to find a new home for them, of course a lucky lady with a similar sized feet :) These are perfect for many occasions cos they're made of a tan colour, which means they will match really well with many different outfits. Also take note of the beautiful embroidery at the front of the shoes...this is a standard that factory made shoes cannot easily match up to!

There is no sizing on the shoes, so please follow the measurements:
- heel to toe on the inside sole = 9 3/4 inches
- widest part of the sole = 3 1/8 inches
- heel = flat

They did not come with a shoebox, so I will be wrapping them properly (bubblewrap and all). I was going to suggest sending them in an alternative box, but checked the post office rates and it's way cheaper to send by a packet than a parcel. I'm quite flexible with different arrangements, so get in touch if you've any special request for shipping :)

::handmade:: Elegant Swarovski Pearls in Cream, Pale Pink and Purple - €7.50

2007-04-09T06:24:00.000+01:00

This is my personal favourite - a very classy and elegant pair of earrings made of three Swarovski pearls in a colour palette that complements each other - cream, pale pink and purple. These are absolutely gorgeous, dangling ever so delicately from the earhooks and are even prettier in real life than the pictures.

Friends who have received earrings that I've made with Swarovski materials have always commented on how such materials catch light in a unique way and reflect it with a special sparkle.

I hope these earrings bring to you as much joy as I had in mind when I transformed this little idea into reality!
