My New Brothel Creeper Boots!

Do I detect a hint of indie feet?

I found these badboys in a small boutique called Sick in Bethnal Green while visiting friends in London. They have to be one of my best finds ever because I didn't know brothel creeper boots even existed! They're super hard to walk in though because of the thick flat soles and they're pretty heavy too but I can't complain, they were only £80!

✄ DIY tutorial: (finally) Finished Pearly Sunglasses

Looks pretty simple doesn't it? Well, it's a lot harder than it think! (see post from ages ago)
So I'll pick up where I left off on the last post:

So yeh, I ran out of pearls! Always check you have enough materials before you start creating or you'll have to wait months and months before you can find more of the same. Lesson learned!

This may look like a backwards step but that's the price you have to pay for being a perfectionist. The pearls were ever so slightly unsemetrical so naturally I ripped all of them off and started again! This meant that I had to spend half an hour filing down the superglue that was left on the sunglasses so that the pearls would sit evenly. I also had to file down some of the edges of the pearls so they could slot next to eachother to make the perfect heart shape. It was all totally worth it.

What do you think of my latest DIY? If you like what you see then spread the word. If you have a go at it please credit me and don't forget to send me your pictures.

Punky sequins,

You'd think I'd gone mad if I told you you could use 'punk' and 'sequins' in the same sentence, but I am here to tell you that you can thanks to these awesome creations from the designer Ashish for ASOS.
