November 23, 2008

As I watched the scenes in “Sex and the City: The Movie” showing “Carrie’s” re-decorated, highly styled apartment– complete with designer pillows–I thought she would have LOVED THESE pillows from shoe-artist, Rita Pearl Lerman. Newly available, her latest collection of shoe-art is now available on two sizes of pillows to welcome guests into your home with style. My FAVORITE is this “Red on Red” back view of a sexy stilletto… check out Rita Pearl Collection for more pillows and her other art for shoe-lovers!
