Shoe Envy



  

I love these hand painted, custom made Slip-Offs! I found them in the current issue of We Like We Love magazine (you can find the full article on p. 14 of the current issue). Each pair is hand painted by Canadian graphic designer, Shauna Mae Luedtke. So far, she has customized over 300 pairs (including a pair for Ellen DeGeneres!). Shauna is an amazing artist and hand paints each pair of slip-offs with a design of the customer's choosing. 

The price is a bit steep at $180 per pair plus $30 shipping to the U.S. ($20 to Canada), but for something so beautiful and unique, I think its pretty reasonable. They would make a great gift for a close friend or family member (I would probably get a Calvin and Hobbes pair for Chris). 

Definitely take a few minute to browse her past work (I got a little lost in there and looked at pretty much every single pair of shoes). I love the uniqueness and creativity of the designs (you can see some super unique and personal ones here and here). The best part is that you can be absolutely, positively sure that no one will be wearing the same shoes!
