Enjoy! xo, Emily

Sound Bite: “Typically, I choose my shoes first and then style my outfit around them. If I feel like wearing my wooden-heeled black suede AllSaints pumps, I would pair them with black piecework leggings, and an asymmetric cut black top. But I own over 200 pairs of shoes, so I like to make sure they all get worn.”
