Shoe Giveaway ends in a few hours.

As you all know, shoes are a big part of my life and I pride myself in the shoes that I create. Saying goodbye to one of these beautiful shoes is knowing that someone else will get the joy of carrying wearable art.. With that being said, I have decided to go ahead and Giveaway one pair as my Christmas Gift to one of my fellow fans. You all deserve the best, and the best is what I will deliver.
Here is how it will work to win one of these Feathered peep toes:

- Follow norakaren. In order to win you must be following on facebook and twitter!

- Tweet your favorite pair from my store www.norakaren.com and end the tweet in #norakaren or post your favorite pair  on my facebook page.

- As long as you tweet or comment and include #norakaren you’re entered for my pair of shoes!

- I will pick a random winner on december 21st,so you will have enough time to receive and wear for Christmas Eve!

Good luck and Blessings !
Nora

Thrilled to be a new member....

I found this team on etsy,when one of your kind members added my shoes to a treasury and I was blown away and absolutely charmed.Not a minute after I wanted to be part of this wonderful group of designers,artists and people like me who understand the "Offbeat Bride".
I look forward to meet Glenda (from Midnight Boudoir )in person ,as she will be coming down in January to Florida to visit family.I admire her store and I can't wait to wear one of her exotic hair pieces...I guess we both love Peacocks!

Meet Aly,Crochet that never sleeps.

I met Aly 2 years ago on our team of Fashion,Design and Lifestyles.
Originally from Venezuela,you can see nature inspired pieces in every one of her crocheted creations,probably because she was always surrounded by green,trees,jungle.Her profile is simple and clear about who she is and her style: "I love Fiber arts, nature, flowers and birds are my fav! :-) Love my family with all I have" 
When she finished this piece she said: I visited a Lake, right here in south Louisiana... the day was pretty and inspiring... then my necklace came to live today... :-)

One of my favorites,it is a complete artwork or work of art,it seems like her hands create magic.

Another of my favorites in peacock colors.Something else we share.

Her new line of hair pieces is outstanding. I have one that I wear every time I want to make a statement.

Bridal Shoes painted peacocks, not dyed, WEDDING DATE , I DO

The perfect option for a no-dye pair.
Are you afraid that your satin shoes could stain or the dye might fade under the weather conditions,get wet with snow and get damaged?
I created this pair completely hand painted,there is no dye but paint and a glossy coat to protect them from harm.
Paint never fades or stains your dress.
Shoes must be worn in a good environment and be treated like art,because that is what they are,ART AT YOUR FEET.

I can add the Wedding date,I do and your names too

The submissive peacock in all its splendor struts and open wings filled with green feathers on green and teal,all accents can be modified,like gold instead of purple.
I'd love to create a pair to match your theme.

The shoes had been painted by my hands over the fabric instead of dye to create a textured finish with glittery teal and then I designed the set on a peacock theme with feathers in many green tones such as winter green,shiny green and goldish green,also gold accents and purple centers,with blue tones on the body and wings.

The vamp is gently pleated, and peep toe accenting it perfectly. The curved heel is feminine and elegant and more importantly, comfortable enough to wear from dawn to dusk.
I love these peep toes,they are so classy and dramatic!
They are not necessary just a match a for particular wedding,I can design this shoes for all other bridal events creating an overall theme with your bridesmaids,flower girls,decorations,invitations,etc.
They come in all sizes from 5 to 11 and half sizes too.
Made of satin and fabric upper, 2- 3/4 inch high.

If you want this design on your own shoes or in another style please send me a conversation to check on availability 
They can be customized in Dyeables,Peep toe Pumps Flats and High heels.

These Proud as a Peacock Design are also another example of how white wedding shoes can be customized at your needs or upcycled and look unique,matching your dress,gown,outfit or theme.
They are stunning for a night out,party,wedding or just to stand out of the crowds!

Bridal Shoes peacock painted, not dyed, WEDDING DATE , I DO

Fall Fashion Runway

A big entrance starts with a painted catsuit with flags and symbols. The runway for fall 2010 is filled with blacks,whites and grey tones. As Lanvin showed.















Mix of temporal colors: teals and reds,warm and cold colors alltogether.The presence of feathers,fur and more types of fur is absolute.Pheasant,sheep,fur,leather completed the path.The introduction,one more time of camel,made an appearance that was come back from many years ago.

For the hair,laid back,ponitail,rodette,ballerina style.For accessories: birds again.Feathers on shoes and on jewelry,gold tones and diamonds.Mix of textures,some soft ,a lot of bold.Green accents,nature alive,animals not in prints but in skin. Chains,halter tops,very hard core.

The bride,what a better chance I have to close the show with a Swan Like gown designed by Alexander Mc Queen as the text recites: left the earth with a slice of heaven.
