Randomness: Shoes, shoes and more shoes

Oh hello lovely blog I feel like it's been so long so much to tell you! Lately my life has revolved around shoes I went on a hunt today to find homecoming shoes after around 8 hours of searching I found them! they will be posted when I do my homecoming post when I am totally decked out and you can see me in my dress which has not arrived in the mail yet :(  but here is a pic from the site----->
 Also I had this crazy idea to make Hermes inspired converse I don't know how I am going to make the winged part of his's shoes but I saw some tutorials on tumbler that I might start with. I already spray painted my converses gold all they need now is some wings. I kind want them to look Percy Jackson meets the ancient Greek god hermes esque it will be epic I promise!
I also bought some new brown and blue oxfords from restricted  they are rediculously beautiful I love how classic they look I have so many idea's on how to pair these bad boys
 



So you buy any cool shoes lately?

Mirror/ Holographic collar

I have been working on this shirt on and off for a couple weeks now. I told you guys that the shirt that I posted wasn't quiet done yet but now it is here is the result on the collar part
This collar was inspired by this blogger from Singapore Lenne who's collar I randomly found searching the web. After trying (and miserably failing) to find the right CD for the project It dawned on me to use the CD's that didn't work in my collar. So for this DIY just use what you get and from  the CD's you find and make your collar however you want

For this DIY you will need
2/3 CD
Boiling hot water
a container
Fabric glue
Scissors 
something to grab the withCD ( tongs, a stick,a thick cloth ect)

1. Boil some water
2. Put CD in container
3. Fill with hot water 
4. Now here's the fun part in 2 mins take the CD out and cut it until you reach that shiny circle that surrounds the hole and then (If you can) split the CD in half. Now when I say CD I don't mean the paint on it. It will come appart like literally you should get two pieces of plastic CD
5. Now at this point 1 of the 5 will happen to you. You will either get;

A. Purple tinted CD Piece




B. A semi clear CD Piece



C. the CD will split and you will be stuck with a beautiful holographic mirror slightly thinner CD Peice (this never happen to me hopefully you will have better luck!)

D. Nothing will happen. At all.


 



6. Cut the CDs in to triangular peices and arrange them however you like on the collar. Have fun with it!

7. Once you know where you want the pieces to go use your fabric glue to glue it down. Then let it dry.

 Then Voila  you have a epic mirror collar!
