108; I'll Be Damned

Sweater + Jacket : ROMWE • Pants: Forever21 • Shoes: eBay

WHY DO I LOOK LIKE SOME BIZARRE MIXTURE OF AGE TWENTY-SOMETHING AND TWELVE. Man this is so not attractive.

Whatever.

So I really love this stained-glass ~birth of Jesus~ sweatshirt. I jokingly called it my Christmas Sweater few months back. This year it'll be Hindu, promise.

Platform sneakers DIY -- suggestions?

Hey readers, I need your help!

I've been awestruck by the MOONSPOON SALOON x BUFFALO platform sneakers I've been seeing online, and I knew I had to have a pair of shoes like them -- and I say 'like them' because I can't even really afford Jeffrey Campbell shoes, much less MOONSPOON SALOON.

With the aid of the wonderful Isabel Spectre, I scored these affordable white platform sneakers on eBay:



      


I know I want to do some DIY with them, mainly just changing the colour, but...I can decide on what I want to do! I really love the spray painted MSS shoes I've seen so far:









I just really don't know where to start. I don't have a lot of experience in spray painting, but I can definitely practice on cardboard what I want to do to my shoes... I'm mainly at a loss of what colours to pick. I know I want dual coloured shoes, probably involving black. (I keep flip-flopping on if I want a black base, or not. I can't decide on ANYTHING!)


Do you guys have any ideas? Any inspiring photos? Can you think of a cool colour combo? I want to be able to wear these shoes with a huge variety of outfits, so I'm almost leery of picking a crazy colour combination like turquoise and coral, or anything like that... But I also love the idea of mixing neon colours, and I feel like these shoes won't ever really "match" in the true sense of the word. I think I'm just really nervous since I have ONE pair of these shoes and ONE shot at this!

Give me ideas, please! ♥

Friday I'm in Love -- a more 'personal' installation

I hope this week's Friday I'm in Love isn't too disappointing; I haven't been on Tumblr very much this week and am a little busy today.

Thus I bring you a photo of the two pairs of shoes I've aquired this week. (Two pairs of shoes in one week? I used to buy two pairs in a span of six months! Ever since Christmas, I've been somehow been buying more shoes with no problem.)

In the foreground are my new Demonia vegan suede Creepers -- $68.95 on eBay. In the background are my prize haul from today's shopping, leopard print Steve Madden Carnbys -- this deal was jaw-dropping: originally $180, bought them for $20 at TJ Maxx. They we're $70 the last time I was there, which was only a few weeks ago.

And this tabby-siamese companion of mine is Jasmine. She's turning six in a week from today! She loves shoes about as much as I do, even if just to chew on the laces.

Friday I'm in Love -- 1/20

Before I announce the Leopard Top Giveaway winner, I thought I'd go ahead and post this real quick, as I've made a point to have them pre-made and sitting in my drafts. I feel like you readers will want to see the giveaway winner post on the top of your feed instead of this. ♥
