Ellie Ellie Wears - The September Issue

As a new term begins after the summer holidays, we were in the mood for a little take on school uniform for this months outfit inspiration!  The staple piece is none other than the traditional check trouser - this cropped pair from People Tree is a great start to a back-to-school style! Pair it up with a white shirt (maybe with a lace insert sleeve like this one from Sugarhill Boutique to add a bit of luxury) and you have easy to wear, relaxed pieces for your almost-autumn wardrobe. 

For accessories, add a pop of colour with our Artist Pencil Colour Palette Necklace! With the dark and white shades of clothing, a bright red backpack is just the thing to brighten up the ensemble.  Slip on a pair of comfy pumps and you're all set for another day at the office!

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.
