Monster Mash

( Hat - Vintage / Hooded Sweater - Joe Fresh / T-shirt - Secondhand / Shorts - Secondhand / Boots - Mad Hatter Magic )


I ordered these boots, appropriately named "Monster Mash" boots, from a costume shop online. They were a total impulse buy and I was instantly regretting them the minute I got them. I'm not sure what I expected and I obviously know they're not very realistic for every day wear, but with a little convincing I think they might have a fun thing to have around. Snapped a few photos to share with you guys.

I honestly need to stop browsing online costume shops. Too many things I would actually wear!

Any suggestions on where to wear these monsters? Don't say to see the Queen because I missed my opportunity to do that this Saturday. Damn work!

Bloody Fingers

There is a story behind my newest DIY. While shopping in Vancouver, Stefanie forgot one of her bags in one of the trashy barstar stores we were in, so we went back in to search for it. After we had found it we found another trashy store we hadn't been in so we checked it out just for fun. Total ~*~destiny~*~ because I found these boots which were exactly what I was looking for. (and for $20 too!!) I wanted leather-looking boots that were thin so they would be easier to stud. Last time I tried studded leather I got about 4 in and wanted to die. This time it was a lot easier, but my fingers still feel like they're bleeding on the inside. Suffer for fashion though, right? Take a look! I hope it was worth all the blood, sweat and tears.



The only downside is they have ZERO grip on the bottom. My friend Lana was telling me she took a pair of shoes into a shoemaker to get industrial grip put on the bottom. Might be worth it to get a little more wear out of these. I can just picture myself sliding around on the show covered ice that Winnipeg's ground turns into in the winter months. Not a good look.

Oh, and I hope everyone had a great Christmas!
