Nina Shoes - 17th and Park

Be a DIY Bride

Hello Fashionistas,

Every bride wants to look unique on her wedding day, and personal touches are imperative. We’re well aware that the hunt for the perfect pair of shoes can be trying, so we’re here to help.

Our brides and bloggers are literally taking things into their own hands by taking our DYO concept a bit further and creating their own Nina shoes. Of course, I don't mean they've constructed the entire shoe; they're simply adding personal touches to create a one-of-a-kind pair.

One bride added appliques to the front of her Nina Culvers (photo below). It is a simple touch, yet distinguishes the shoe from anything else on the market!

Another idea is from one of Nina's favorite bridal bloggers, Jen Campbell creator of Green Wedding Shoes. She wrapped delicate fabric around the front of the shoe to create an absolutely adorable bow design.

The possibilities are endless! Depending on your style and preference, you can use rhinestones, sequins, beads, feathers, tulle or ribbon. 

I am just loving lace and silky materials right now. Therefore, I'd personally choose this satin ribbon and gold lace, and if I am feeling daring, maybe some rhinestones.

So, bridal fashionistas, get creating and send us your pictures! We just can’t get enough of DIY projects!

How creative can you get?

XO,

Nicole

P.S. You don’t have to be a bride to embellish your Nina’s; you can get creative for any special occasion on your agenda!

Same Shoe, Different Colors

It never fails to amaze me how the same item in a different color can change so drastically. Some may think it's crazy to buy the same thing in two or three colorways but not me. I happen to think it's brillant. These two examples prove my point:

The Nina Cannes in black paired with the Kaitlin (also in black) gives this mens-inspired shirt dress a sexy edge. While the Cannes in champagne plays up the glamour of the coral dress. Throw in the Nina Kaitlin in gold and it's almost godess-like.

One Dress, Two Looks

Everyone owns one, some of us have a few. Yes, I'm talking about the Little Black Dress.

This closet staple can carry over from season to season or become event-appropriate in mere minutes with accessories. It's nothing short of a miracle at times, when a shoe or handbag (or both) takes you from the office to a night out on the town.

This great structured LBD from Top Shop can be worn to the office with a low heel like the Paladin or glamed up with the Edlen for after work events!

Paired with the "Elle" and "Edlen," this LBD is perfect for an after-work cocktail party.

Transform your look for a night of dinner and dancing with the girls or a hot date! Stack a set of bangles to complete the look.

 

Create just the right amount of edge with the "Yaneli" or "Felice."

Be Glamorous!
