Another good thing that came out of my visit to Expo Espana was the chance to discover this nice shop devoted to espadrilles. The word is French but espadrilles are proudly made in Spain where they are probably as common there as our bakya. They are casual footwear distinguished for having soles made of braided rope or jute and the soft fabric make them oh-so-ideal for walking, strolling and malling. Besides, nothing more is ideal for our sunny weather. Espadrille3 I immediately took a liking for the one above because of the pretty little shoelace ... Continue Reading...

A blogger’s tips on keeping the creativity juices flowing
