DIY Roundup: heels

I was never a heel girl, I wore Doc Martens to all weddings and dates until my graduation prom where I bought my first pair and immediately regretted not have buying them soon. Now I try to make up excuses just to wear them,

Like most girls, I have a lot of simple heels. After doing a little digging I found some AMAZING upgrades that I will be doing to all my schools. These are even good for boots!


THIS tutorial is so easy! Plus it's really cheap to do. I have a lot of simple heels that could use a little pop like this.

This diy takes a simply pair of heels and turns them into a stylish punk pair! I love them.



 this DIY is the most crazy one! They're like chandelier heels! I'm not sure If I hate them or love them.



I'm not a big bling sort of gal, but This diy is so lovely, it adds enough stones to make a statement, without being overwhelming!


Are you going to be upgrading your heel collection? I will be!

Things I like: Tacky Aldo Purses

I have a bag problem, I LOVE bags. What I love even more than regular purses is tacky, statement purses. Recently, Aldos came out with a line of statement purses. I love all of them! What's even better is that they are ALL ON SALE! Seriously, I'm pretty sure all of them are now $20-30 . Seriously. I think I might have to buy them all.
This one is was the first one to catch my eye! I can't think of an occasion when I could wear it, but I still want it!

I couldn't see myself wearing this one, but I still think its pretty awesome!
I've been seeing perfume purses around lately, but this one is actually affordable, and by affordable I mean I could buy one with my lunch money.

 


This  candy heart purse is so cute! It comes in pastel yellow and pink as well!!


Which one is your favourite? I think I might get the first one!

***Disclaimer! I was not paid for this ad, I wrote them post simply because I friggen love these purses. They just happen to be all from Aldo. ****

Home Inspiration

If any of you follow me on my Pinterest, you know how crazy my "home" board is. Home boy? These are some pins I've been loving lately, I've really been digging simple space with lots of white, and the occasional bohemian splash, like the tiles in the this bathroom, I NEED it.

Artist Spotlight: Tarmasz Tatoo

Tarmasz is an artist based out of Paris, France. She is an illustrator and tattoo artist who creates folky, dreamy work. I would fly to Paris JUST to get tattooed by her. (I have a running list in my head of global artists I want to ink me!). Here are my favourite tattoos that she has done, I LOVE the cuckoo clock one.

This stamped celery art is easy, affordable and super cute! Perfect.

This is supposed to be fabric, but I think that it'd make such a lovely wall tapestry.
