80%20 Shoe Brand

Spotted - A new shoe brand found from my Twitter account.

About - A little about 80%20 in their own words. “The lifestyle you live, the footwear that gets it. This is the world you create out of your own passion. We provide the shoes to take you there. Living the life: fun-loving fashion and easy, effortless style. 80%20 footwear.

The concept behind 80%20 came from Ce Ce Chin’s observation that we tend to wear our favorite 20% of our wardrobe 80% of the time. The smallest percent has the greatest impact. The ratio of knowing your life, your style and your aspirations.

80% life, 20% shoes=100% love.”

Vanessa Bruno’s Miracle (via vogue)

Vanessa Bruno enlisted the help of Jessica Joffe and Lou Doillon to create this season’s film.

“The videos we make each season are like visual poems. They’re important to me as it seems more contemporary and in the spirit of the women who wear Vanessa Bruno,” says Bruno of the one for spring/summer 2011 - for which she had in mind a “liberated exotic girl”.

Watch as director Stephane Di Gusto interprets the collection — as Doillon drifts away into her own thoughts.

One of the most popular colors this summer is powder. Kim Kardashian’s pulls off the color very nicely with a powder top, a pair of tan opened toe shoes, cropped jeans, and a ivory cardigan. You can get this look too!
