Brand to Watch

I stumbled upon a new brand, Oscar Tiye during some shoe research last week. After scouring the internet to find more information on the brand, I realized that this is a legit up and coming shoe brand.

Although they only sell it at a number of stores online, I have a feeling you will be seeing these shoes at more U.S. stores. The lead designer, mina Muaddi is Jordanian born, and a number of her shoes have inspiration from architecture, butterflies and beetles.

After my many hours of research, I realized a couple of things:

1. I have a predilection for offbeat shoes.

2. Shoe research = finding like minded lovers of shoes. 

I learned about a fabulous shoe blog called Shoerazzi. Seriously good shoe stuff. She has a great piece on the designer and the new 2014 collection.

3. I buy and love shoes for a life I don't lead (cross reference realization #1 above).

4. I wish I had better instagram skills. 

I mean, look at this amazing shoe pic from Oscar Tiye:

and last, but not least...

5. I know want an Oscar Tiye shoe in every color.
