D.I.Y Pearl Heel Loafers.

Before

After

I've mentioned here and there about how I've been trying to acquire more sensible shoes due to my move to San Francisco. I've been lusting over the new Miu Miu loafers. Sadly, due to the fact I have no dinero, I had to compromise. I found these basic black velvet loafers at Zara and thought to snazz them up myself. I wanted crystals, however the crystals I could afford were to small for what I wanted. I then remembered I had pearls and black and pearls is always a winning combo. I love the end result, now obviously they are no Miu Miu loafers, but they are adorable and I love them.  This was such an easy D.I.Y it took me about 10 minutes. 

What you need:

Glue

 pearls or crystals  (whichever suits you best)

 a pair of loafers or these

After you get everything you just need to sit down with some good music on and glue the pearls or crystals on the loafers. Now just be careful to keep them straight and space them out evenly.

 I'm thinking of applying something in the front but I don't know yet. Any suggestions?

I recently talked about how I've been buying shoes with more color. I realized I need to apply this same thought to my wardobe. I have mostly neutrals which, yes, is nice but I really want some stand-out pieces.

This post is to dedicated to...you guessed it, dresses and shoes! Specifically, backless dresses and unique shoes. I love when a dress is all normal in the front, but than BAM you turn it around and it has the coolest back ever! I don't own a dress like that right now, but I intend to. I already chose some dresses at Urban that I would like to get and this is one of them!

Ahh.... shoes, I constantly think about shoes and it doesn't matter what kind - booties, sandals, platforms... I don't discriminate, I love 'em all! I have purchased many shoes, but now I plan on getting more daring ones like the purple leopard-print booties on top. The possibilities these booties have are limitless! I think I could talk about shoes for hours and never get bored. Some may call this a problem, but I call it love. Sorry for the lack of posts, our schedules have been hectic these few days. Hopefully, today will be a productive day and we can shoot (fingers crossed). Ok, I shall stop rambling and try to fall asleep. Good night!
