diy: sharpies and swallows
dress by stylestalker (thanks rach!), boots vintage DIY
start with some old square-heel boots (the 90s were kind to this trend–thrift stores are teeming with these chunky boots- mine were $7.80)…stuff them with newspapers, and spray with paint. repeat for 2nd coat. let dry. practice drawing the swallows, by looking at the miu miu inspiration post (i had mine open on my iphone, while i was drawing). practice first on the inside side of the shoe, to get your technique. repeat! mine took about 2 hrs per shoe.
(x1) pair of 90s boots
(x1) spraypaint (i used krylon “slipper” in satin finish)
(x3) sharpies
(x1) miu miu inspiration post

I’ve been reading for a while but I’ve never commented. Love this idea! Looks great with the LBD. I bet this idea would work really well (and be less time consuming) if you made a stencil. You girls are so creative and fashionable- this is one of my favorite blogs out there!

Those are so fun! I cannot draw though so my the plan is to start with black shoes, put stickers in bird shapes all over the shoe, spray paint, remove stickers. This might end up a disaster.
It seems a whole bunch of bloggers are DIYing now. Gotta try it myself!
you totally took the whole miumiu s/s 10 inspired diy to a whole new level.
I am constantly analyzing the people i meet’s faces in search of that ounce of character everyone of us carries, its my favorite part of people. These shoes carry such character i adore them! I am envious of your creative drive.
when you get a chance take a peek at the beginnings of my blog.
with that, briauna rose.
