My Secret Love Affair..........

Well there seemed no time like the present to confess in light of the upcoming fashion show...
Most of you know that I have a passion for shoes, my not so little secret love affair.

SL mimics RL in this case and I brought my little habit with me!  Hello my name is Karen and I am a shoeaholic!

In light of that and the upcoming show featuring Diana Debevec High Society Shoes I had to show you me new "favorite pair"!

I fell in love with them the second Diana showed them to me.  They were recently released and it was definitively love at first sight.  I loved the texture, I loved the color, I loved simply every single thing about them.

I loved them so much as soon as I had a pair in my clutches I rushed away and had to put them on and admire them. 

Channel Pumps Snake Blue

 

 

Then I was in despair.  Where was my perfect outfit?  What will I wear them with?  I cant hide these magnificent shoes!

 

 

 

Then I had the answer, I will simply have to design something to wear with these beauties!

 

And I did

 

 

Here is a sneak preview of my soon to be released dress naturally named in honor of these wonderful shoes and their designer.

Here is the soon to be released Diana in snakeskin blue!

Hugs to you Diana !

New Pageant to be held

Re : Miss Charleston Belle 2013  contest.
 To All Contestants,

 This is to inform everyone concerned, that without going into detail it has been found that unfair practices were done during the pageant, and have therefore taken the decision to revoke the title and redo the entire ceremony. All prizes already given to the winners will NOT repeat  NOT be taken away from them, except of course the title Miss Charleston Belle 2013
          All contestants who entered  for the above competition are eligible to re-enter of course.
          We regret having to make this decision, and trust that all concerned will appreciate the reason for it.

 Details as to condition will remain the same, i.e. a short list of semi finalist will be selected from all applications, by a panel of judges,  those selected will be judged by a panel of independent judges to make a final choice of contestants.
 The finals will then be held within 7 days from the date of the semi finals, at The Dock Street Theatre on Charleston Belle.
