Pretty Ballerinas, made in Menorca

I bought new shoes, new ballerinas. Last autumn I threw away my old ones as that way I was obliged to buy news. I had in mind typical black, leather ballerinas, but those were not available in the outlet of Pretty Ballerinas, so I ended up buying these blue/jeans colored.

Pretty Ballerinas is a company dated back to 1918. Shoes are hand made, flat shoes made in Menorca. The collections are always very colorful and funny, but you always find classic models as well. It is a very versatile brand. Made in Spain!

I'm afraid I bought too small ones. Maybe the age or the maternity has made my feet bigger. This is so annoying that finally after many years of thinking I manage to buy Pretty Ballerinas and then what I do is that I don't know to choose the size. I miss practise.

My possibly too small ballerinas.

New starting

After almost one year of being quiet I am thinking of returning to write and post here in StylePigeon. I kind of need it. A platform to speak about textiles, good adds, great things in Finland and Spain or differences between those two lovely countries.

An inspiration also comes from a blog I read once in a while: Fly Fabulously Creative by Andrea Pippin. She is a creative artist and very inspiring and intelligent person. I admire her and her ideas. Not sure how did I ended up to her blog years ago, but her analyze of Pantone’s 2012 color of the year was astonishing (post on 9th jan 2012). I agreed that the Tangerine Tango was out of fashion already when Pantone chose it as the color of the year, but I would never have been able to explain why. Andrea Pippin could do that.

Her call for #letsmakestuff2014 and "we doodle" was also great. Its a pity I didn’t notice those doodle challenges back in 2014.

I try to have this year 2015 as my “letsmakestuffyear” and also to oblige me to find time to do my things. And remember Andrea's tip of the week: You don't have to say it, its also ok to be quiet (post on 17th March). Quietness has never been a problem for me.

Spring is here
