TOMS Refashion // DIY

Hello, friends! I hope you had a lovely week.

**NEW: This post was featured on U-Create! See it here**

If you're here from U-Create, welcome! I'm so glad you have decided to stop by. I hope you'll stay a while and look around!

Two summers ago, I bought a pair of TOMS. Loved them. Loooooved them. Until I wore them too much and got holes on the heels. I was quite sad. They lasted me a while and they were incredibly comfortable, but I wasn't ready to part with them quite yet.

I let them sit in the back of my shoe closet for quite some time. I even used them as my "nasty lab shoes" for chem lab last year, but they deserve more than that, don't you think?

So I revived them.


I made these coral skinny jeans, too! Learn how I made them here.

Nifty, huh? I'm quite pleased with the improvement. This is what they looked like before:

Sad little hole-y shoes :(

With a little fabric, fabric glue, and (optional) needle and thread, you can fix your TOMS, too!



(Thanks to my friend/roommate Melody for being my foot model!)

Calculus Shoes // DIY

This week has been pretty crazy! I had a Biology midterm Thursday and a Calculus midterm on Friday and now I have to study for Chemistry on Tuesday. I also got a very bad sunburn so I am currently half lobster, half human. 

In honor of my midterm Friday, it's time for one of my favorite projects ever:

Calculus Shoes!


They are probably one of the easiest projects I've ever done and definitely one of my favorite end results! I've gotten lots of compliments on them (and maybe a few weird looks, too. But I'm proud to be a nerd!)

They were inspired by Calculus Toms. I don't know if you've ever seen them, but they're awesome. However, they only have size 5 or something left and if you want to buy them on eBay in size 8 then they are over $100 (I've looked). Ridiculous. 

So, I made my own. Click "Read More" below for instructions!

Glitter Heels // DIY

Hello!

It's Spring Break! I'm back home with my family and LOVING it. It has been three and a half months since I've been home. Ahh, a full sized bed, home cooked meals, no studying, actually having time to watch TV! This is the life. Maybe I'll stay here and mooch off of my parents forever? I'm not sure they'd go for that. Anyways, today we are doing this pinterest-inspired project to "glitterize" some old heels.
