Spirocreations

Getting Spirocreations to be a part of La Dama was such an amazing honor for us. I cyber stalked them to let them know how inspirational their
designs are to me until they returned my messages and to my total shock let me know that they loved La Dama! When they agreed to be part of the store I literally jumped up and down for at least 2 full minutes.

Spirocreations is a husband and wife team from Canada who love to create beautiful things with their hands and are also interested in living close to the earth and exploring old world handcraft trade. Everything from Spirocrations is created by hand, so every item is one of a kind. It's amazing how much hard work goes into making these items, they even whip-stitch everything using leather instead of thread.

These shoes are custom made for every individual meaning you take all your appropriate measurements, send them in and in 3 weeks time you will have a gorgeous one of a kind creation molded to fit only you.


Check out this crazy amazing logo designed for Spirocreations by their friend Amy Middleton and do look at her other work here
Hard at work.


I am obsessed with these lace up ballet flat hightops

These scrunch boots will look so sick with tights come winter.

true statement pieces.

New winter collection coming soon and also
stay tuned for leather corset belts that will be added to the store probably by the time you are done reading this.

Oh so NEET






The September issue of N.E.E.T is out and on point! I'm not just saying this because La Dama has the best spread in the magazine designed by my awesome artist friend Danielle.

Full Circle


Lpost has quickly become one of my favorite blogs over the past couple of months. It's a blog with a culmination of photography, a bit of writing and just the right splash of fashion. I wrote her a little note telling her how much I liked her blog and she went on to post the sweetest blog post about La Dama

Lizbeth, the writer behind Lpost is also starting her own online magazine where she will be the fashion editor. The magazine is called DNR (Driven and Ready) and it's focused on entrepreneurs and just over people driven and ready creating their own path and career. La Dama will be featured in the fashion section in the near future, so keep a look out for the progress of DNR here.

Please, please, please let me get what I want...


Let me just say right away that I am not a huge Morrissey fan (here comes the hate mail) I like the Smiths and a few Morrissey songs here and there, but that doesn't mean I should buy a t-shirt, become a vegetarian, and put up a Smiths poster like everyone else trying to be cool. With that being said I can still appreciate great art and this song is just that. This is one of the best covers I have ever heard.
