Christina:


New York Chrysler Building Shoes!


This picture was taken on a trip to New York in 2009 with my Mom and my Best friend and is very close to my heart. I think it makes for a great pair of shoes!


I'll Be Home For Christmas Men's Shoes

Though I was inspired by the Military when I made these shoes, these are actually for anyone who can't go home for the Holidays. I think this concept makes for a very special pair of shoes and is probably my favorite design.


Sunlight Peaking Through the Trees Art - Poster


My friend and Photographer, "A.D.B." is allowing her art to be displayed in my store and I think this particular photograph makes an amazing poster.
