Handpainted Autumn Flats

handpainted flats

Unique details always catch my eye



I have always been an accessories girl. I have a habit of pairing unique shoes, bags, and jewelry with plain clothing.

When I saw Anthropologie's Taika Flats in the store this summer, I knew it would be an easy and fun look to recreate.

I picked up a pair of plain brown faux leather (and surprisingly comfortable) flats at Target and put an autumn spin on them with touches of cream and deep pink paint.


Read on for a tutorial.
