Firstly thank you all for your well wishes while I’ve been ill! It made me feel much better every morning to wake up to everyone’s lovely comments 🙂 I’m all rested up now and should be fine to blog 3 times a week again!
Unfortunately I’ve run out of jewels to finish my decoden tutorial at the moment but I’ll be right on it when the next batch arrive! My next post will be some of the things I’ve been deco-ing lately so you can all get your rhinestone fix 😛 Actually I did something a little bit funny with my deco while I was sick… I’m going to keep you guessing until next post though!
Now on to my outfit… OMG I love these shoes. They are incredibly painful but they look so pretty! Here is a close up…
Sexy right? The cut out bit is velvet so they even feel nice.
This brings me to today’s topic… shoes. It may be hard to believe but up until about 6 years ago I was the biggest tomboy you imagine. I refused to wear skirts and you would be hard pressed to find me in anything other than my scuffed old pair of converse chucks. In fact that’s where my old screen name chucks_bitch came from.
These are my newest acquisition. Cute but still comfy so I can shop all day, oh and work etc. They were a birthday present from my Mum, thanks Mum!
So long story short I missed out on those years where young girls are supposed to learn to walk in heels and I’m just doing it now. I got the first pair that I regularly wear last Christmas and haven’t been able to stop since. So much pain though! I’m very stubborn so I picked the highest most ridiculous pair and assumed I would be fine… I have now learned my lesson and am easing in much more sloooowly.
Mini Tutorial time!
Now a couple of people have asked me how I did this. It really couldn’t be simpler.
Step 1. Buy cute simple shoes on sale. Step 2. Buy matching flowers. Step 3. Get some thread and a needle and sew the flowers on to the shoes. Note, don’t sew through the leather just in case you ever change your mind! Step 4. Enjoy your new awesomely cute Hime-Style shoes 😀
See easy…
Lastly are any of you guys who use Nuffnang having problems when you log in? I can log in but I my stats won’t seem to show up… Just wanted to know if I’m the only one before I go and bug tech support!
Anyway it’s good to be back! Hope you enjoyed the outfit post ^_^
I’m so tired though, having the flu is really crappy. My immune system has been knocked around so much from the last 2 years of illness that I manage to pick up pretty much every little bug that comes along… yay.
Anyway after having heart palpitations all week James has finally convinced me to take it a bit easy for a few days. I even spent the weekend in bed, those of you who know me well will know how painful not being busy is for me!
To keep you interested here are some of the posts I’ve got planned soon:
-Decoden Tutorial, I’m covering my new laptop in jewels
-Hime shoes, how I decorated mine
-Inspirations and blogs that I read
-Sparkly photoshoot from the coast that I just edited
-All kinds of other cool stuff!
I’m back saaafe and sound. I had a fantastic time even though I had to work for a lot of it and I’ve got heaps of photos to show you all!
Sorry I missed ACEO Friday this week, I promise it will be back with a vengeance next week for all your viewing pleasure along with some art I did while we were up there.
I did sooo much shopping 😀 My bank balance took a serious hit but totally worth it because we both got our Kevin Rudd bonuses! I capped it off when we got home with some online shopping I’ve been wanting to do FOREVER so thank you Mr Rudd! I hope I stimulated the economy enough for you XD
Once my online orders come in I’m going to use a couple of them to start writing my shop reviews, I’ve actually got a couple of ideas already so keep watch!
Thanks for keeping reading while I was gone, I’m still catching up on everyone’s blogs and I’ve got about 100 emails to get through so sorry if it takes me a few days to reply right now 🙂
I’m very excited about the whole thing, I really love Nuffnang and I’m having a blast meeting other bloggers with them!
Now for the real purpose of this post… I GOT MY KONAD! Really this post is in homage to Brooke and her blog “Getcha Nails Did”. She is the one who convinced me to actually get it and I’m so happy! If you don’t know what a Konad is click here: http://www.konadusa.com/
Konad nail art pics ahoy!
This was my first try so it kind of sucks… but I practiced a whole lot!
Now here is my second try, much better don’t you think? I LOVE this lace tip. This plate didn’t actually come with the set I got but the lady was nice enough to just swap it for me! How cool was that?
They are a little smudgy but I’m still proud I did this well on my second go XD
Ignore how gross my toes are and just look at the cute stamps 😀
I’m having such an awesome day today! I’m so sorry I didn’t get to reply to everyone’s comments yesterday I was sooo sick. James isn’t feeling very well this morning and I’m praying he doesn’t have what I did *_*
