Nicole McLaughlin is a designer who makes incredibly fun and playful sustainable fashion. Her work often upcycles everyday objects by transforming them into wearable items. I can't get over how cool these "Heel Punch" shoes are, which combine heart and star shaped, paper hole-puncher tools with a pair of cute, vintage looking high heels.
These shoes would be a fantastic conversation starter at parties. Plus, they're practical if you need to quickly get some arts and crafts done while also being dressed and ready for a night out on the town. The colorful hole punchers also look adorable, and take me back to when I was a kid and used to use hole punchers with cute shapes to make confetti and cards for people.
You can see more of McLaughlin's fabulous work on her instagram and website. I love how her work combines art, fashion, play, and is focused on being sustainable.
