chie mihara








color is such an important part of my life (which you probably know if you've been reading my blog for, well, any length of time). color in fashion has always been one of the simplest ways for me to express my love for all things bright and beautiful. shoes and accessories are sometimes the easiest way to throw on a splash of whatever color you're feeling like at the moment. that being said...sometimes shoes themselves are a wardrobe of brilliantly gorgeous colors. Chie Mihara manages to create absolutely stunning shoes that are just as good to your feet as they are to your eyes. Ms. Mihara worked at an orthopedic shoe store, where she learned all about foot anatomy and common foot problems. she uses this knowledge to create shoes that are specifically designed for a woman's foot. so in this case, you don't have to sacrifice comfort for fashion. and with all of the gorgeous detail put into each shoe and all of the wonderful color palettes, these shoes truly are a work of art.

ps- all of these photos are from the Spring Summer 2010 collection.

pps- watch this video of Chie Mihara talking about her shoe line. she brings up so many wonderful points about the shoe industry, and i always enjoy listening to the designers behind brands that i love. =]



ppps- last postscript, i promise! i just started a new tumblr. check it out =]

  3. ohmygoodness there are so many awesome places here! definitely visit Powell's and if you like coffee, Stumptown Roasters has the BEST coffee in the city. there's a street for everything though, so i recommend visiting downtown (the Pearl District and the area around Powell's which i don't think is the Pearl District), Hawthorne Street (it's in the SE), Alberta Street (it's a really artsy street, and it's in the NE) and just doing a bunch of research online. there are about a million and one places to go! oh! there are also a bunch of gardens...there's the Chinese Gardens, Japanese Gardens, Rose Gardens, and The Grotto. those are the only ones i know of.
    have lots and lots of fun wandering around! =]

hi! i'm Lena, but you can call me Lulu. i love Frida Kahlo, feminism, art, reading, kitties, and drinking tea. i love the film Amelie and i think that the tiny traveling gnome has stolen my heart. i want to own a bookshop and live above it one day. i get quite passionate about things. i tend to think too much. i'm kind of a hermit.
