Spring Gladiator Sandals - Rant/Fashion Find

Although, I am rarely seen wearing sandals, I am going to take advantage of the Spring 2011 Gladiator sandal trend. I love the idea of something contradicting the lightness of spring.
Found these stunning Steve Madden sandals, slightly similar to the gladiator sandals as seen at Bottega Veneta.

Bottega Veneta S/S 2011 and the sandals seen at Burberry Prorsum S/S 2011:

Spring Couture Inspiration - Design

Inspired heavily by the Spring 2011 couture shows, I designed two ball gowns with a new refreshing color palette, soft blush pinks with light-grays, and greens with blacks.

I apologize for the rather low image quality, these are just snapshots of the work, not scans. In the meantime, I will have scans posted, browse around my blog for more of my designs & fashion illustrations.
