Day Dreaming in Purple these days…

Hey, what youve done has amazed me, im totally inspired... Im going to try and DIY a pair myself, but im wondering whether or not its possible to put the spikes on the heel of the wedge, im wondering how to do it.. whether to use super glue or not???

Sun, 18 Mar 2012 15:43:52 -0400

Aww thanks, so glad I could inspire you!! <3

The kind of spikes I used get screwed in so you wouldn’t be able to put them on the heel part of the shoe. They do, however, make low profile spikes like THESE you can iron on, it says they are “Great to add some studs and spikes to your shoes/high heels”. I’ve never tried them but they sound good to me.

I’m really rough on shoes so if I just used glue/iron on ones they would definitely come off which is why I personal like to use the ones that screw in, those suckers aren’t going anywhere!

Hope that helps a little

DIY - Asymmetrical Spiked Wedges

Thu, 08 Sep 2011 16:15:00 -0400

I am currently obsessed with spiked heels. I’ve been dying for a pair for far too long…so I decided to DIY a pair for myself…and give you ladies a step by step breakdown so you can make a pair too!

Supplies Needed:

A Pair of Sexy Heels or Wedges
Spikes - in a variety of sizes
(the Etsy store I bought my spikes from: CrushCrush)
Screwdriver
Awl
(to poke holes in the shoes - you can buy one for around $5 at a hardware store like Home Depot)
Chalk or Charcoal Pencil
(to mark where you want the spikes to go)
Padded Shoe Inserts or Thick Scrap Fabric
(to cover the exposed screw heads on the inside of the shoes)
Glue
(any fabric glue will work)

click “read more” below for the steps

STEP 1

Select a pair of shoes

I picked these wedges because of the metallic silver on the heel that will look great with my spikes.

“Giselle WP” by Wild Pair from Bakers Footwear

STEP 2

Get your spikes ready!

Select what spikes you’d like to use and decide on how many you want.

I used 23 spikes varying in size from 1/2” to 1 1/2”

STEP 3

Separate the spikes into 2 sets, a set to go on the toe of one shoe and the other set to go on the heel of the second shoe.

STEP 4

Start placing the spikes on the shoe to decide where you want them to go. Mark the final positions with a piece of chalk or like I did with a charcoal pencil. This will allow you to change your mind since you can easily wipe the chalk marks off the shoe.

STEP 5

Once you have made a final decision on where you want your spikes it’s time to poke the holes! Take your awl and start making the holes… be very careful not to poke yourself!

Start by poking the hole from the outside. Then once you have the hole made take your awl and poke through the hole again only from the inside this time. This opens the hole up making it easier to get the screw through.

STEP 6

Spikes come as 2 pieces: the screw and the spike itself.

Once you have the holes big enough take the screw and insert it in the hole from the inside then take the spike and screw it on. You may need your screwdriver to tighten it.

STEP 7

Once you have all of your spikes screwed in it’s time to cover them.

The inside of your shoe is now covered in exposed screw heads which will not be comfortable rubbing against your foot! Take a padded shoe insert or a piece of padded scrap fabric and cut it to size so you can glue it over the exposed screw heads. Make sure to check that your fabric isn’t too thick, if it’s too thick your foot might not fit in your shoe any longer…and we wouldn’t want that!

and now… YOU’RE DONE!

Grab some spiked accessories and go “paint the town pink, cause red is so last year”

I bought these spiked bracelets from Forever 21 in gunmetal and silver to match my spikes.

September is "I always wanted to" month

Fri, 02 Sep 2011 19:41:00 -0400

A lot of things have changed in my life these past few months. I’ve endured more change in these few months than I have in the past few years. Two of the major changes being: losing love after 4 years together and moving into a new place. It’s been quite the roller coaster of emotions but I’m not ready to get off of this crazy ride…I’m just getting started!

So I have decided to deem this month as the month of “I’ve always wanted to”

There are so many things that I have wanted to do but haven’t and well this month I’m going to do some of them finally! What better time than right now!

So what has this girl “always wanted to do”?

#1.) Start a blog!

I’ve been flirting with this idea for far to long. I’ve always wanted a place to share: my DIY ideas, makeup reviews, fashion, what inspires me, and more! So finally here it is…the blog that’s been in my head for years…and now it’s ready to play!

#2.) Have a fun unique hair color!

Hot Pink, Bubblegum Pink, Lavender, Purple, Turquoise so many choices what’s a girl that can’t make decisions do??….an amazing Tequila Sunrise (my favorite drink of the moment) color. It’s this beautiful peachy pink color…and I couldn’t be happier! I’ve always wanted a fun hair color and have looked up to girls with the “balls” to rock a bold color on their tresses for as long as I can remember. Honestly as a newly single 26 year old girl living in a small town, with male suitor options few and far between, I was nervous about how it would affect my dating life. I was afraid that it would make it harder to meet guys, because in my small town in Florida everyone is pretty “normal” (a word I’m not fond of) and most guys here don’t like girls that are “different”…sadly. However, much to my surprise guys seem to really like it and if I was to be completely honest I’m getting more attention from the male species than ever before. Apparently guys like fun hair colors after all…even in this tiny fashionless town.

Need a hair makeover? Looking for some unique hair color ideas?

I suggest “We Love Pastel Hair!”
