How about custom-designing your own shoes and have them made in front of you for less than 15 minutes? I am not talking about sky-high runway stilettos or pricey brand name shoes. If you are a fan of artsy and carved wooden wedges, then you might also fall for my recent love-at-first-sight find.
At $25 a pair, you create your own shoes by choosing your base and strap. I had mine custom-made by the owner herself, Kelly, who recently opened her kiosk at Pearlridge Center (2/F just outside MAC and Sephora) and Ala Moana Center (2nd Level, in front of Nordstrom Coffee Bar). **Oahu, Hawaii**
Kelly said she designs the shoes but the carving is outsourced in Vietnam. These are made from birchwood, they are lightweight to my standard since I am a huge fan of chunky and 4-inch wedges with weight twice as much as these. Okay, I’m petite so I need to catch up with my love’s 6-foot frame, yay!

Over 100 combinations. |
This was my original choice. But I had a mental account of my shoes. Nope, I want something more artsy… |
I was looking for a simpler strap to balance the wood design as I am not into all-out screaming Ey, I have arrived! I also suggested to diversify her collection by including some thong wedges. Finally, I settled and bought this pair for myself…
Haha! It can be a wall decor too! |
Fab shoes in the tropics! |

If you live in Oahu or visiting our island soon, don’t forget to check out this store, Island Girls Shoes Company. Mahalo!
Hmm I am so outdated whent it comes to shoes. I have to do something about it urgently.
@Miss Lego it's the holidays, they make nice gifts for ourselves. xoxo
Do you have their contact #? I have a gift certificate from them for a pair of shoes that I got from my girlfriend for my birthday. I really like their shoes, so i'd like to redeem the certificate!
Do you or does anyone have their contact info (number or email)? I know they are no longer at Ala Moana and Pearlridge mall, and I got a gift certificate for a pair of shoes from my girlfriend for my birthday. I really like their shoes, so I would like to redeem the voucher!
