Leather studded awesome birthdays. Oh and some Chanel too.

As mentioned before, Im pretty far behind on posts, these are from the 4th of May, 2 days after my birthday which was when I got the most awesome jacket I have ever owned. Oh an some Chanel sunglasses. First Chanel item I've ever owned (bar perfume). To say I was thrilled would be an understatement. I cant explain how much I love this jacket from All Saints. It is AH-MAZING. Or as Rachel Zoe would say.."I DIE".

Short shorts and layers. Contradiction?

Well Uni has been ridiculously hectic and due to my crappy time management skills I have been a disaster. But its all sorted now, however I know have quite a few photos from various days of my outfits so here we go! I have a feeling this was a pretty cold day to be honest even though the shorts definitely dont scream this ahah! I love shorts, as most my post show, and these are by far my favourite, they were a pair of levi jeans I got from tkmaxx when I was about 14 for about £20 and I fearfully cut them last year, they were like long shorts, decided I ended up looking a bit strange so turned them into short shorts. Although I liked them I was a bit ambivalent towards them, then my fantastic mother bought this cheap studding machine with really cheesy pink gems etc. BUT they also had various gold and silver studs, and this was the perfect thing to feed my stud addiction! So ta-da and we have a "brand new" pair of short shorts that I love! A few weeks after I saw a similar pair for £50 in Topshop, I have to say I felt a little bit smug! Anyway that was quite a long way of saying the shorts were customised. I adore this t-shirt too, I love the sort of old school horror feel it gives off, it kind of makes me think of the glamour/horror that the Rocky Horror Picture Show has. Which I love. Also seen as these photos are from about a month ago my "song of the day" shall be one that I currently like quite a lot.

Studs at 4am.

I was wrestling through my very un-organised shoe collection recently, just for the hell of it, and came across these really old tatty pair of fake leather converse rip-offs. I loved these shoes, super comfy but they look rather boring. I also remembered that I've had a bag full of old studs which I pain-stakingly took of two very emo belts I used to own thinking I would use them for something eventually! Eventually happened aha! So yeah, started studding these trainers, I had to press each stud in to place to imprint the fake leather and then cut through each imprint with a scalpel. Then I pushed the studs through and bent the spokes (is that the word...?) with a pair of studs making sure they were properly attached to the shoe. (I know the second photo is pretty lame, but I just wanted to show what the side of the shoe looked like before!) I am super happy with them, even though it took an age and my fingers are pretty messed up (I was half asleep when I finished them, 4am scalpel in hand-not the best idea!) I am considering continuing the big studs all the way down the tongue to the plastic toe cap, although I dont have enough studs just now so I'd have to go on a hunt to find the right sized ones..

I have also decided to add a "song of the day" on my blog, even though I rarely update it, I will try though!

Soooo todays is....
