About a month ago, I posted about these Opening Ceremony beauties
They happen to be way out of my price range. However a light bulb went off and I realized can I turn this into a diy project.
I happen to score these Faryl Robin wedges at Daffy's in NYC about a year ago for only $10. The criss-cross straps are the perfect base to add bows.
So after 16 ft of ribbon, and a few hours of sewing while switching between watching Ice Dancing on the Olympics and Masterpiece Theaters most current adaption of Jane Austen's Persuasion, I finished these cuties...
They are not exactly like the Opening Ceremony ones, but they're in the same spirit. Plus they look so cute and whimiscal on.
I hot glued the bows to the shoes. I'm thinking of getting shoe clips to attach the bows, but I might just keep it how it is.
These will be my statement shoes. I'm going to see what other shoes are being underutilized in my closet for more diy projects.
Also about a week ago, Sara from LuShae Jewelry contacted me and I got to pick a piece from their website. They had some wonderful necklaces, rings and earrings, but I decided to pick a ring. I don't usually wear rings, I chose this super cute dangling heart bow ring.

It's the perfect size that I can wear it everyday although I wish the bow was at little bit bigger. But other than that, really like it and I've already gotten compliments on it.
It also came in a nice box, perfect for gifting.
