“It’s not like an editorial piece,” she says of the ad. “It’s something that I’ve created so I am a micro-manager, which is great, but everything kind of goes slow.

“I have a two-car garage full of shoes and my dream is to bring personality shoes to the marketplace at an affordable price for women 16 to 40 or beyond.” The collection is inspired by Katy Perry travels and her childhood – she has created pairs of cute Easter bunny flats which were modeled after a pair of Dalmatian shoes she found in a thrift store 15 years ago.
