eastern market series | buji bag

designer ana russell might have a million dollar idea on her hands. after quitting her corporate job after the recession, she decided to get back to her artistry in designing handbags, jewelry, apparel, and my favorite, "booties". if you visit her stand in eastern market, an open air market for fresh goods and crafts by local designers, you will be amazed at her level of creativity.

"booties" are leather and lace covers for your heels. you insert your shoe, and wrap the cover around and under the sole of the shoe, and it completely revolutionizes the wearability of your shoe wardrobe. they come in many assorted leathers, but my personal favorite is the lace series (pictured on the right). The prices range from $40 - $60, depending upon the materials used for the bootie.  one of my dear alumni friends and fellow blogger karen attiah and i (morethanaruby.wordpress.com)  were able to chat it up with Ana and snap more photos of her wonderful musings! More after the jump.
