Crazy Customising!

Here is a little crazy customisation we’ve stumbled upon this week. We aren’t sure about these customised Lego shoes here at Ellie Ellie HQ, love or hate?

If these Lego shoes don’t quite take your fancy why not try and customise an old pair of shoes you were going to chuck out and give them a new lease of life.... go on!!

Here are a handful of ideas inspired by Ellie Ellie’s favourite things… Have a go using scrap comics, maps or sheet music with Papier Mache, or you could try it with your favourite wrapping paper or old stamps.

For a fun, personalised look you could use locations that are special to you, and we love the idea of personalised insoles for your wedding shoe, a great way to have your memories with you on the day...

Another favourite of ours at Ellie Ellie is these stamp pumps, we think this is a lovely way to reuse stamps and create an individual look. 

 

Not forgetting our love of old vintage comics, personalising your old pumps and heels with comic print is a fabulous idea, use your favourite comic book characters and stories to make your shoes tell a story.

For a step by step guide to mastering papier mache, the perfect way to customise your shoes, have a look at this tutorial  Getting started with papier mache

Ellie Ellie Wears

This week we've been inspired by the prospect of the bank holiday weekend in the sunshine. Whether you're off down the beach with the family or having a seaside dog walk this outfit will put you in good stead. 

These little yellow wellies are a great for a mooch in the countryside, or even on the school run on a rainy day! We are big fans of Joules, so we have another dollop of their Spring collection in our outfit this week! This striped tunic is simple, effortless but still looks amazing on. We've styled it with an Ellie Ellie Building Brick Ring, in red to add to that bright and on-trend colour palette!  Alphabet Bag's shopper is such good fun, a great size too for all the necessities (like a kindle and a nice bottle of lemonade!).

This week we take a look at Vogue's fave colour of Spring- black. Designers such as Dolce & Gabbana and Stella McCartney have all been designing simple dark outfits for a moody British spring. 

I know it's a shock. Who'd of thought black would of been a colour for Spring. LBDs have long been a staple for every women's wardrobe. This little number from Miss Selfridge with it's sweet Peter Pan collar adds a hint of femininity!  Loafers are another essential- these give a bit of balance to the prettiness of the dress, making it a fab outfit for work or a smart/casual dinner date. Ellie Ellie's necklace made from Upcycled Lego is a great bit of nostalgic humor and a great conversation starter with the lads. Check out Ellie Ellie's full up-cycled brick collection here.

Ellie Ellie Wears - Red Is The Colour

As ever TK Maxx is a first port of call on the Red Nose Day fashion fix. Good old Stella McCartney has yet again brought a feel good collection of t-shirts to the high street to raise money for this incredible worldwide cause. Stella has an effortless way of designing easy to wear tongue-in-cheek fashion that the industry has fallen in love with, all the world over. 

The 2013 tees have been wholeheartedly manufactured in Africa. 100% of the cotton sourced from Fairtrade certified, organic cotton co-operatives in Mali, which is something that Ellie Ellie are in full favour of.  My personal fave features Marilyn Monroe- I’ve never seen  a women look hotter with a red nose and Harry Hill glasses, have you? The girl’s still got it.

We’ve paired the tee with a pair of Warehouse heavy black leggings, some Hollywood red platforms and Ellie Ellie’s very own Upcycled Building Brick Ring, for that finishing touch. 

Just a tad smitten with these shock red beasts from Topshop. LANIE Platform Wedges from Topshop are a concoction of the biggest shoe trends this season –bright and chunky. Working perfectly with the Marilyn tee to give that red a bit of pop, it’s almost criminal not to team them up. 

The Ellie Ellie ring, just adds to that childhood fun of the tee. Our rings are handmade from original LEGO pieces in our Brighton based HQ,really adding some strength to the ethical elements behind Stella’s Comic Relief collection.

If you’re really going all out, team with a warm red MAC lippy and an oversized tote t’boot. 

Whatever you’re doing this Friday, dig deep and donate and help us move forward around the UK and in Africa.
