DIY: Heel Hot Up

So typical me thinking of something for years instead of just doing it. So, a few years ago I got these black heels from my auntie, but never seemed to find a way to use them. It was something about that little cut that bothered me, but I kept them thinking I'm gonna fix them in some way. Someday. Remember THESE were in my mind for a very long time. 

Maybe I should just put a bow on those heels? Hmm... Well... 

Of course I didn't. Lack of creativity I guess. The months passed, I tried them on, my feelings hadn't changed, so my poor pumps had to stay there, in the darkness of the closet. 

And so the other week, when scrolling through Instagram I fell in love again – this time in a pair of black slippers from H&M's Conscious Exclusive collection. 

Then the forgotten ones screamed at me – "ACTION!"

And suddenly it was just there – my beloved creativity. I'm telling you, when it hits I'm transformed. I enter that world where I can't be reached. I'm obsessed, possessed and nothing can stop me. 

I started off with two satin ribbons (each 50 centimeter long) and some pins to secure the bow before I needled it together. 

So, I didn't get much sleep last night, but definitely a "new" pair of stunners! Voilà! 

What do you think? Scary enough they turned out to look nearly exactly the same as the ones from H&M now when I looked them up again. Oh well, it's definitely an easy and cheap way to hot up a pair of dull heels. Predict these will be my everyday favorites. A classic with a twist, just the way I like it! 

Sorry Chanel

… but I was first! Kind of.

Two years ago, a sunny day in July, I made this necklace out of a paint bucket handle and some random pearls. Later on one night I went on playing and created some stuff that easily could've been taken for being part of Sophie Bille Brahe's (currently hyped) pearl collection. Not as exclusive material vise, but the designs were many times almost identical.

And this ain't the first time things like this happen.

When I was around twelve and my biggest dream was to become an interior designer I sketched a table. While browsing through a magazine many months later it's suddenly in front of me, signed Zaha Hadid...


I just can't help but feeling a bit astonished every time this strange thing happen to me. A forthcoming nose or just coincidences, however it's a bit funny.

SAEMLSTAINT FOR CHARITY-SHOP MY CLOSET

SOME DAYS I honestly hate everything that has to do with fashion. All the consumption, superficiality and the never ending hard competition. What's the meaning? For who do we do it? Ego boosting? Trademark improvement? Ask yourself. 

The answer (and ultimatum) my heart gave me, when I decided to be a part of this crazy carousel, was that I had to do something significant. It needed to have a depth and a meaning. Something that spurs me to continue what I'm doing everyday. Otherwise, what's the point doing it?

With this vision of mine I hope to inspire you to also take a look at the life you are living. 

Listen to your heart. What is it telling you? 

Finally my project is up and running! 

Wanna take part?

GO CHECK IT OUT!

(more stuff will be up this week and continuous)
