Studded Oxford Collaboration with Mr. Sohail Justin Akhavein

new shoes!

So I was recently approached by the wonderful Sohail, a fashion student out of Minnesota and all around awesome guy! After he found me through my Etsy store, he contacted me wanting a pair of studded loafers, which I just found out had been discontinued by the manufacturer. So he looked and searched until we found some gorgeous leather oxfords from Urban Outfitters that worked out perfectly. Check out the gorgeous end result in more detail below:
