The only problem was that we are so obsessed with this one certain Hasbeen style that we believe it's impossible to improve upon.
(Insert a brief moment of panic here.)
Instead of trying to improve an already perfect shoe, we stuck with our tried-and-true favorite style, added a fun punched heart detail, and picked colors that we could not wait to wear. The resulting shoes are pretty special to us.
So without further ado, here are one million photos! (In case you are curious—this shoot was SO much fun!)

Gorgeous shoes and gorgeous shoot! I think I’ll have to put them on my Christmas list, or save up and do a huge treat myself purchase later in the year!
I love Hasbeens! These are beautiful!
I am obsessed with my two pairs of Hasbeens. those black and white ones are pretty perfect!
You girls are SO cute – these pictures are amazing and make me smile! Congrats on a fab collaboration (the little heart detail makes me swoon)!Xo, D
So super cute! I love wooden shoes.

uggggggh. why won’t anyone convince them to make a vegan version????? I’m dying for these.
Such gorgeous shoes and photos! I’ve never had a pair of wooden shoes before and now I’ll have to go try on a few 😉
omg that picture of Elsie on the log by herself is absolutely gorgeous! And Emma looks amazing with her smokey makeup! 🙂
Every Day In Grace
GUYS! This is my favourite collaboration you have done with a brand. Massive high five! The photos are beautiful too.
I adore the punched detail – now I just have to figure out my monthly budget so I can grab a pair. I could eat toast for a month right? Shoes are way more exciting than food!
Ahhhhh so cute! I wish I could afford a pair or two! someday 😉 looks so fun, you ladies rock!
I want a pair of wooden shoes!
these are so cute!! the teal ones are amazing!
xxoo,

Congratulations on such an exciting collaberation! I love the heart detail and the colors are perfection. One day I will own a pair of Hasbeens, one day!
So cute but a shame they are so expensive. $275 is not in my show budge at the moment (and most likely never). $100 I could do maybe.
Oh I love those shoes! Hasbeens are SO great! And your designs are just darling!

I’ve been waiting for you guys to post this collaboration since you’ve showed us a couple sneaky peeks. I absolutely ADORE these shoes! Those teals ones are just…A+. I want both pairs RIGHT. NOW. You both look stunning! Congratulations! As usual, it’s always awesome to see the new things you’re collaborating on and creating with other brands. It makes my creative and business heart swell with hope for what blogging means to the rest of us. Both of you lovely ladies and your awesome team are such an inspiration!

wish i could afford a pair of these!! They’re so expensive!!
Thanks so much Mary!
xx- Elsie
Super cute! What action was used for the rainbow looking photo?
congratulations!!!! so adorable 😀 can’t afford em, but i guess that’s what makes you guys so exclusive 😉 also – emma looks bangin! get it, girl! <3
I totally understand! They’re definitely an investment piece. I’ve been wearing one of my t-strap pairs for more than three years, though, so they do stand the test of time. 🙂
There is such a great divide (in both pricing and quality) between brands like this and fast fashion brands you can buy at the mall.
We really appreciate your feedback and thank you so much for reading!!
Elsie
Thank you so much Taylor!! You have such a sunny personality!

I like wooden shoes but i find them a bit unconfortable….
It’s Light Leak 3 from The Folk Collection.
XOXO! Elsie
Love these beautiful wooden shoes! It would be great if they sold sizes greater than 41..
Have a nice day!

What a fun shoot! Congrats! I really love the first photo on the two of you. I’ve always wanted a pair of Swedish Hasbeens, but never knew which to go with. This is my chance!
P.S. Emma’s eye makeup is killer 🙂 A+
Congrats ladies!! This is an amazing collaboration! And I love love love Emma’s smokey makeup look. Definitely something she should sport more often 🙂

You both look so beautiful in this shot, I’ll be honest I’ve never been a big fan of wooden shoes but these are so pretty they might be worth a try 🙂

Ahhh! I love these wooden shoes! I have a pair of wooden heels (from Brazil, of all places) and when I wear them, I just want to dance around and make as much noise on the floor as humanly possible!
Beautiful job on the design, guys!

Oh my god! I’m so happy you guys posted this! I’ve been dying to figure out where those shoes are from from previous blogposts! They are so cute!
Always loved you girls’ wooden shoes..these new ones look pretty cute..esp the black and white one..
xo
I really like your style but to be honest I’m not so amazed by these shoes. They look cumbrous and stogy to me. It’s a pity. Whatever, it’s just a matter of taste. Keep up the good work!
Any chance you’ll do a giveaway????
They look great but I don’t think I could walk in shoes that high alas!
Emma’s makeup is especially gorgeous here, I love it!!
Emma, you look gorgeous…that dress is so flattering on you 🙂
What a cool collaboration! I really appreciate that you guys only do collabs and sponsorships that really are a good fit for A Beautiful Mess. And those hearts on the front are adorable 🙂

Right on, ladies! These look fabulous.
I’ve always wanted a pair, they look awesome!
I am so excited about this collaboration!! You both look great and I LOVE the color choices!! I just ordered the black and white combo and was wondering if you recommend any sort of shoe cleaner? I have other Hasbeens and I’m always careful to not get them wet but have never had white ones to keep clean before! Great job ladies!!
Hi Cassandra,
Yes- For minor scuffs I would use a magic eraser (or just soap and water with a sponge) but for more major stuff you’ll want to use white shoe polish to keep them looking clean. 🙂
I’ve gotten my other pairs wet on accident and to get the water spots off I just wash them with a damp washcloth and let them dry evenly. 🙂
-Elsie
What fun colors! I’m glad you two got to work with a brand that you love so much!
They’re gorgeous! I love the photo shoots you do with together, you like you’re having a blast. I live 5000 miles away from my sister, so seeing sisters having fun always makes me smile.
Such cute Photos! Emma, I’m digging the dark liner. You should wear it more often!
I always loved them!!!

Congratulations! The shoes are adorable! Unfortunately I couldn’t afford them, but for now I’ll will just ooh and awe over the pictures! :))
Normally I don’t like clocks, but you made them look great and stylish. You did a great combo with the outfit, hair and make up. Thumbs up 😉
LOVED this shoot so much – and of course the shoes are absolutely adorable. Emma, I loved your makeup in this shoot – please tell me how you did it! We have very different coloring but I would take the tips any day. 🙂

bought my first pair of hasbeens this april. they are splendid shoes! this collab was the nicest.

Oh those are so cute ! love them !!
Love Love LOVE!! These are definitely going on my birthday list in November! Another beautiful collaboration from you ladies 🙂 I have always wanted a pair of Swedish Hasbeens.

These photos make me so happy. I love your blog, your fashion, and of course those shoes!
Oh wow they are absolutely GORGEOUS! Birthday coming up, these are going on my wish list for sure. Congratulations ladies!
I have been secretly coveting these shoes every single post you wear them. Just makes me so sad about how expensive they are! But hoping to get a pair eventually 🙂 SO CUTE!
ME TOOOOOOO! I’ve been wishing for vegan ones for ages.
These photos are absolutely gorgeous! Loving Elsie’s hair and Emma’s makeup — perfection!
This post…all I can do is look at Emma’s makeup! You look gorge! Such a different look for you and I’m loving it!
Please check out our fashion and makeup blog!

ummmm can we PLEASE get a tutorial on Emma’s gorgeous eye makeup?! That would be amazing!
I LOVE them and can’t wait to own my first pair of Swedish Hasbeens! I have two pairs of Lotta From Stockholm clogs (which I discovered here on ABM), but these will be my next clog purchase :). You guys are so awesome and inspire me daily!

You two are freakin’ adorable…and so are your shoes!! The perforated heart detail and your colour choices are bang-on; not much else to do when the original version is near-perfect, right?! 😉

Oh I love those! I love wooden shoes; I had a great pair but somehow they vanished when I moved (sad crying hysterical face)

I love wooden shoes, they are super comfy and your design is amazing! I am all about the teal pair, nailed it!
I also love seeing AMB growing and the opportunities you ladies are making for yourselves, without sounding lame it’s giving me ideas on how bloggers can work with brands.

Do you guys ALWAYS get on???? Do you ever argue? You always appear to have the best relationshsip ever!
Those shoes are to die for. You girls look gorgeous.

Now, those are super cute!
I LOVE your sister style posts! Question: Do you have any advice on how to get such great poses? Ive seen your videos on your Youtube channel and you both seem shy. How do you look so outgoing and free in your pictures? I know that the photographer had to be able to capture the moments, but how do I get my models to relax and be comfortable in front of the camera?

A short behind the scenes video of your shoots would be great!

Emma, your brows are looking so good! Loving the shoes and the photos so much!
You girls are darling and my swede heritage is going ga-ga over these limited edition lovelies!
I’ve been looking for a pair of these in a color that i like in an available size for ages! When/where can we purchase these?
Oh, my goodness, these shoes are perfect! I love both but the black and white ones are my favorite. I am a bit obsessed with hearts on clothes.
Ditto on the vegan option!! Please!
Can Emma PLEASE do a story on this smoky eye look! Holy Buckets it looks great!
I don’t wear heels, but I think I’m a little obsessed with these shoes! Love the colours you two chose.
Oh my goodness…I spotted something very similar to these wooden shoes on a fashion website here in the UK and I almost bought them…the only thing that stopped me was the fear of not being able to pull them…now I don’t care! I want them! But the real McCoy! Not the similar ones!! Thanks for the inspiration!
I was already lusting after Swedish Hasbeens, but now I think I need that white and black pair!
Emma, your makeup looks FAB in this shoot!
How about a blog entry on how to break in one’s Hasbeens?
Wow…this photo shoot is really awesome. Love the shoes as well. You both look super cute here.
love,
Janika

Gosh both of you are gorgeous!
There’s no doubt about the comfort of wooden clogs. They rank as one of the better styles of footwear that are good for the feet and there are a bunch of reasons that make heeled clogs better than stilletos. I wrote a blog about them here – http://bit.ly/2nGEiEl
Looks nice! Love the colors!
