When I recently attended the ALT Summit held at Martha Stewart’s HQ, I noticed that many of the blogger gals there had on high wedges. Some were even decorated or painted. Well, I can do that too! I had to try it out. I got these cork wedge heels at Amarcord, a vintage store in Williamsburg Brooklyn for a few bucks. I thought my asian inspired rainbow repeat pattern would be perfect in a burnt orange for summer. I just held the stencil in place, filled in the design with a VERY DRY BRUSH, and there you have it. These say fun, do you agree?
