Howto::Shoe Belts

April 21st, 2009

As some of you may know, I have a heart on the top of my left foot and a clover on top of my right.  While they’re terribly adorable, sometimes people just don’t appresh the tats.  I bought these quite comfy solid black nine west pumps from amazon last week because I’m trying to establish some business staple items, but I can’t really wear them with my tattoos hanging out.  Therefore, I give you… insta mary janes!   And the best part?  You can take it off or switch it for a different color whenever you want :) ! Below is how I turned solid black pumped into funky mary janes.

WHAT YOU NEED

  • 1 belt, preferably leather because it’s prettier :) .  Thrift stores have a ton of funky belts, if you’re in need
  • 2 elastic hair ties
  • something sharp and pointy to make holes in the belt.  An icepick would work well.  I used an electronic screwdriver because frankly, I don’t mess the heck around.
  • Scissors

This is a belt, in case you were wondering what they look like.

Okay, put on your pretty pretty princess solid pumps.  Fit the belt around their middle section and figure out how long you need to cut the belt sections.  Cut one section that has the belt buckle and one solid section.

Victoria’s Secret: 40% of Sale Shoes

March 19th, 2009

I have a really bad I-NEED-shoes-even-though-I-have-100-pairs problem, and this newsletter from Victoria’s Secret telling me that all of their sale shoes are 40% off with coupon SAVE40 is just what I need to make me buy more shoes I don’t need.

So I’ve decided that even though I’m absolutely in love with the navy Fryes, I really don’t think my huge calves will fit in them, haha.  I like the floral dudes, but I don’t really see myself in them.  I really want the black ruffle pumps and I already have them in red and they are super comfortable, but I probably shouldn’t own the same pair of shoes in two colors, right?  I really like that cream oxford, so I might end up getting them (even though over I never get heels over four inches with a stilletto heel, which could be a problem for, you know, my poor feet).

Someone help me decide!

If you want some cheap shoes, visit Victoria’s Secret’s clearance shoe section and use coupon code SAVE40 before Sunday.  You can only use the code on one item per order, so make sure it counts!
