Oh Wow












Jumper Love Label | Skirt Vintage | Fur hat (4th picture) H&M | Tap shoes DIY | Socks Topshop

I know this seems like forever ago but when the UK series 'Skins' first aired (what is it, 5...6 years ago?), I fell completely and utterly in love with the gold sparkly tap shoes that Cassie wore and I tried to find some for months with zero luck so in the end I decided the best thing to do was to make some. I bought white canvas tap shoes on ebay, had the taps removed and some gold fabric paint (& spray paint for the heels) later, I finally had the shoes I wanted! Yes, some people might think that they're a little bit silly & girly, but I still love them years later.

I'm thinking with all the glitter shoes around now they look sort of dull in comparison, maybe I should add a bit more sparkle to spruce them up?

  18. Your shoes are lovely. They have a history and are unique compared to their glitzy counterparts that are everywhere (but still oh so beautiful).
    Beautiful post.
    Thank you
