On my last flea market excursion I found myself drawn to the vendors with the most eye candy, and time after time that led me straight to Africa…theoretically speaking. Woven and tie-dyed textiles, colorful masks, and entire tables filled with gorgeous, multicolored beads were almost too much inspiration to bear.
After a little online shopping one thing is clear: it’s definitely the season of printed shoes. Sandals, ballet flats, heels, boots, or 4″ platforms; you can find all of those and more in a stupid crazy array of prints. Whatever your style may be, there’s bound to be a pair with your name on it. Style them with jeans and a tee, or an LBD to let your feet lap up the attention. Or pull on a printed frock for a snazzy print-mixing look. Below are a few of my favorites, but it’s a drop in the bucket compared to what’s out there. Which ones are screaming your name?
Once again I’m extremely grateful to Michelle over at Pattern Observer for featuring a few prints from our recent collection on her incredible blog!

Head over to Pattern Observer to see the full post and read my 5 tips for selling your prints!
