Loved these shoes and had to post the image as well as reference you to the New York Times article, Smooth Translations, and their slide show on some of their yummy finds on the genre. Have you found any you’d like to share? I’d love to hear from you: send your image to me to post an I’ll be sure your name is listed with it and whatever the source of the image is.

Shoes, $350.00, from Opening Ceremony, NYC.

I’ve been sitting on this one for awhile until the obvious hit me over the head and I found the way to bring these lovely pieces to the viewers of my blog….Laura Bezant makes jewelry that mimics the tattoo without having to get one. At the same time, it hits the trend of fretwork and filigree. Laura is a Central St. Martins grad who has worked with the likes of Cartier, Links of London, and Cool Diamonds but now works on her signature style which she laser cuts from leather and juxtaposes with hand pierced silver or gold butterflies. The filigree is actually lettering making up words that you can only distinguish the closer you get.

You can find out more about Laura Bezant on her website. You can even order your own customized version of her jewelry by sending her your favorite line of poetry, song, or wedding vows.

I’d say it can do for the body what tattoos can’t, wouldn’t you?
