gingerbread to rule the world!

the finnish shoe designer minna parikka has opened a webstore. she's known for playful, feminine designs and her pin-uppy personal style.

her shoes don't exactly occupy my style niche, but her product line easily surpasses the needs of a 50's chic chick. she has incredible and rare talent, uses a local footwear producer for one line in addition to quality manufacturing in spain for other items and, additionally, seems like a really sweet person. and that's all it takes to get some promo from me.

this beautiful item just ready to take off is called polly, and i really like the version in nude leather.
