The most amazing shoe ever designed entirely from a shopping bag!

ZiGi recently sponsored a contest with DSW to see who could make the coolest “shoe” designed from a DSW shopping bag. Each entrant received a super fun ZiGi tote bag for entering the contest, and one lucky winner, Li-at Friedman, won $200 worth of ZiGi shoes! Check out her contest-winning design below!

“When I was little I loved making things out of popsicle sticks, felt, velcro, pipe cleaners, shoe boxes… you name it. I always knew I’d be in an artistic field someday and after high school went to school for film and animation. Though I love the creative aspects of the digital world, I harbor a crazy dream to design shoes for a living someday… and actually want this dream to be realized! This was one of the coolest contests I’ve ever seen and I can’t tell you how tickled I am to have won, honestly.” – Li-at Friedman

Who knows, maybe we just discovered ZiGi’s newest footwear designer!

Commander in Chic…

Now that fall is in full swing let’s talk about what trending right now! And military is all the rage right now. What I love about this trend is that by simply changing your shoes or accessories you can style this trend to fit your personality. So whether it’s feminine, classic, or tough the military trend can be worn by everyone. Choose your perfect Zigi shoe, pair it with your angle length cargo pants and soon you’ll be looking very commander in chic.

ZiGi Grizzleez Bears Held Hostage at kitson’s new store in Santa Monica Place!

Today, thousands of shoppers lined up at the newly reopened Santa Monica Place (think Disneyland on the first day of summer) for a glimpse of shopping heaven just blocks from the beach. If you live in LA and need a shopping fix, this mall should definitely be on your weekend list! And be sure to stop by the new kitson store just inside the mall’s main entrance off of 3rd Street. The ZiGi Grizzleez bears were captured on Thursday night and caged in the store’s front window so don’t forget to bring your camera. The bears are surrounded by trees filled with the hottest ZiGi styles for fall including the most amazing boots ever! The mall has a DJ spinning tunes, so come ready to party and shop the day away.

I would like to Win the World cup, not for the glory of being the best in the world at sport that some people may almost consider a religion…. But for this, the Louis Vuitton case that the trophy comes in.

Those lucky Spaniards!
