How to wear two tone shoes

Two tone shoes are everywhere and lets face it...the more colour the better! They can be a little challenging to wear due to the multiple colours. You don't want to over do your outfit and take the attention away from your gorgeous shoes.

We've put together some mood boards to give you outfit inspiration. Perfect for the office, shopping or a night out on the town, get ready to show those shoes off!


Toe dipped PVC heels

These are such a big trend lately but with such a statement shoe make sure you tone down the outfit. They're perfect for the office so pair them up with a simple black skirt, business shirt and accessories that compliment the colour of the heels and you'll be trotting around the office looking like a little fashionista.

Two tone flats
Two tone shows don't have to be 6 inches high. Toe dipped flats are popping up everywhere and are perfect for days when you just want to be comfortable. Perfectly paired with jeans and a simple top let your shoes do the talking! (btw I have totally inspired myself with this outfit board and am going to try this look ASAP! I love it!)

Two tone wedges
As Summer starts creeping our way into our lives (we live in Australia by the way) so too are wedges. Easy to wear with a dress of one colour. Accessorise the dress with items that compliment the colour of the heels to make your outfit look clean and complete.

Which style do you love best?

Go for gold

I used to think gold was for women over their 50's or for hairy italian men who had too much money. Thank god I have done a 360 and totally changed my mind because I didn't realise what I was missing out on! 

Gold is beautiful, goes with everything and compliments skin tones so well! I ordered a metal gold belt and in celebration of receiving this order I put a gold collage together. Enjoy and be inspired to add some gold in your life!

Nail art

We have always been big on nails. We both believe that your manicure can say a lot about you and your personality and draw the line for whether or not you look presentable. Gone are the days of french manicures and simple colours. It's obvious that the more daring we are with our nails, the better. Don't worry you don't have to go searching for design any more because we've done the searching for you. Here are some crazy, wacky and beautiful nail designs that have caught our eye! All photos were found via pinterest.
