DIY Shoe Makeover

It's as easy as that! I had found these flats at Ross for $12 and covered the generic leopard print with black Sharpie. The tassels came from the craft store for $2.99 (for four). If you can't find tassels with loops long enough to tie into a bow shape, consider using cool vintage buttons to cover the knot!

Summer Fever

So since midnight this Friday payday, I've been doing some semi-guilty-but-mostly-giddy sale shopping at DorothyPerkins.com. Their sale items are so awesome! The website is priced in pounds, so don't forget the 1 to 1.6 conversion rate. Here are some of the ultimate spring platforms I'm drooling over right now.

Clockwise from top left: mint crochet wedge, stone raffia wedge, pink + mint floral wedge, cream cork platform. 

All under $60. 

Happy weekend!

Want-y Wednesday

Just some lazy morning lusting at nasty gal:  JC Reality Cutout wedge, Singled Out dress, Two-Tone Circle shades, Velvet Stripe tank.


I adore those shoes... Years ago during a little trip to Vegas I bought black strappy platform cutout wooden wedge sandals from Steve Madden, wore them to my college graduation (bad idea on grass), then traded them in at Crossroads after they had sat mouldering (figuratively) in my closet for a while. I have frequently regretted this isolated incident. Le Quaintrelle rocks them and gave me the sharpest pangs of remorse when I first discovered her blog, and now that the look is everywhere I'm kicking myself even more. I've almost got my buying-crap-on-impulse problem completely handled, but oh well, live and learn, and hoard wisely.


Is there an item of clothing from your past that you gave away, lost, or "outgrew" that you still think about mournfully every once in a while?

Modcloth's Pencil Me In Flat

SOLD: lace up boots (my first etsy purchase)

I actually found a few pairs of vintage lace-up boots on etsy, and I decided on these:

I cannot wait to get them! Finding my size (6.5) before someone else snags it really only worked out because these babies were listed today. Ka-chow!

Some other gems:

WANT: LACE UP BOOTS

I have decided to get a pair of lace up boots on payday, and I've got some options on my mind, so I want to put them together and hopefully I'll be decided enough to order!

These are from forever21.com, and for less than $35 one of them will probably be mine by the weekend, muahahaha.

I really adore these from aldos.com, buuut not quite enough to part with $99. Too bad f21 hasn't made 'em ye!

The only thing I hate about these brands is that they don't have half sizes, grr!

The heights we go for fashion... Though admittedly these are great boots...
