    What I'm Loving: My Love is Mighty Ballerinas!

    Designer and fine artist Monisha Raja has seemed to do the impossible — design a line of footwear that is equally as fashion-forward as it is ecologically friendly.

    The new collection of Monisha Raja's ethically-minded footwear line Love is Mighty proves that biscuit wrappers can be beautiful (yes, you heard me correctly!). The entire collection of flats and pumps is made from the recycled plastic wrappers of the baked goods. The result? A dazzling array of shimmering shoes that will brighten anybody's wardrobe. And did I mention that no animals were harmed in the making this product? Consider me sold!

    Considering the materials that are used for the shoes, each pair is one-of-a-kind!

    The shoes are hand-woven on looms by artisans in India. One of Love is Mighty's aims is to support tribal and semi-nomadic tribes in India.
