Darling Etsy: Handmade Marie Antoinette Shoes

This shop is just too darling! I stumbled upon it via Tumblr and fell in love. These girly creations designed after the glamorous Marie Antoinette are creatively handmade and affordable! {$20-$40} My fave are those royal blue shoes with fuschia accents and rhinestones♥ This Etsy shop makes these lovelies from new and vintage shoes. Check them out at her shop or her Flickr for lots of inspiration if you want to make your own!

The Bensimon canvas sneaker is to Paris as the Converse is to the States. These comfy canvas  sneakers have been around since the 70's and have been seen on celebrities and Parisiennes alike. All the lovely stylish girls wear them there. I think they're just lovely! Get them here.
