Gaudy Rose Shoes







I love shoes. Shoes are my major fetish in life.So I love the idea that I can take some really old... like from 8 years ago shoes and turn them into something new.So I have to admit, these shoes I made are pretty horrible and something you'd probably only wear in extreme moments but I love em anyway so here we go.

Inspiration shoes (way cuter than mine but oh well)



So here are the shoes I started out with. Pretty horrible right?



So you're going to need, fabric roses, ribbon, lace, a glue gun, needle and thread and of course your shoes.

You're going to start by gluing your first layer of lace down. Like so;



Repeat with a second layer of lace.



Next try your shoes on and decide how long you will need to cut your ribbon. Make sure to give extra length to sew your ribbon around your strap. Burn or fray check the ends of your ribbon so that you don't have to deal with fraying. Then sew your ribbon on your straps.



Ok now try your shoes on again and make sure you have as much ribbon as you need. I had a little more so I cut off the extra. I then glued down the strap to the center of my shoe.



Last I trimmed any excess stem from my roses and hot glued them on my ribbon and voila!

Weddings on the Brain

Ok so although I haven't had my formal proposal yet, its coming- its been 6 years and he made it pretty obvious the other night that he is getting ready to ask me to marry him. So I'm jumping ahead and I'm going to post a few choices I made today concerning my wedding.

1. I want my bridesmaids to be wearing mis-matched gray knee length dresses.



2. I want my flower girls to wear knee length dresses as well- and look like little girls not like little brides. This is a pretty big problem since most flower girl dresses are little wedding dresses.
So far this is my favorite flower girl dress.



3. The thing both my boyfriend and I agreed we wanted was an almost 1940s attire wedding. He wants to wear whtie gloves and carry a cane and I want to wear a fitted lace dress that feels like the 1940s.







4. I really love the 1930s/1940s veils.









5. I also really like the idea of my bridesmaids carrying clutches instead of bouquets.
