Schuh Mouse Twist heels, Dr Martens boots, Red or Dead Popova heels



Schuh are having a sale, and I am very very tempted. The sale is huge, with pages upon pages of shoes with around 35% off each. If I had unlimited funds, I'd happily own at least half of them. But these are my favourites. Sadly, most of the sizes are sold out, but if you're lucky enough to be a size 3 or an 8 you're in for a shot.

Pins & Needles Pintuck Confetti Shorts, Citrine Point Pendant,
Knitted Cream Ampersand Symbol Jumper,
Deena & Ozzy Kat Black Stud Toe Ballet Pumps

I am currently loving anything with bumble bee print, like those adorable shorts. The bees aren't chubby enough for my tastes, to be honest, but they're still cute. I've seen a lot of bumble-esque jewellery this season too, although sadly most of it whizzed out of stock as soon as it arrived. Although, the beautiful Bee and Skull cocktail ring by Alexander McQueen will always be available.

If anyone has seen my tumblr they will know that I love crystal point pendants. I've collected crystals since I was a little girl, and I have a ridiculous amount now. I don't have any in this pendant form yet though, but I'm sure this will change soon!

Topshop really does have some lovely knits, especially the graphic print ones like above. I was gifted their stag head jumper last year, and its gorgeous. This one would be lovely to have too, but its pretty pricey (and they're out of my size already - sadface).

Stud shoes seem to be everywhere at the moment, but I can't seem to find the perfect pair. I saw a pair of black brogues with studs on the point (similar to the one above, but neater) but I can't seem to find it again. If anyone else remembers them, please let me know :)

Bitching and Junkfood '7 Deadly Shorts' collection comprises of limited-edition pieces sold at Urban Outfitters. They are all hand customised vintage Levi's and completely gorgeous. However, the prices are a little staggering, considering that with a little know-how you can create your own at home. Re-vamp à la Bitching with studs, leather, feathers, suspenders and chains.

I had my eye on the pair with the black crosses for a while but they have since vanished from the UA site, probably due to selling out. So, I made my own.

These were an old pair of 3/4 length jeans from the 9-15 range at New Look, (yes I have had them a while but miraculously they still fit.)

I made cross shaped templates out of paper, adding seam allowance too as I didn't want any obvious edges.

I sacrificed an old pleather jacket, and cut around the templates.

Next I folded over the seam allowance, pinned the shapes to the shorts and hand-stitched on. It took ages, I recommend having a film on in the background while you do this.

I liked how on the originals, one cross spanned the front pocket, so I did it too. Be prepared for fiddly stitching if you follow my lead here.

I also edited another pair - this time a H&M bootcut that flashed my knees. I have seen A LOT of studded shorts around lately. One design I loved was the back pocket done in solid studs, with the pocket itself hanging loose (like above). This was pretty easy to do, but requires a lot of studs. I got mine here. They do reduced prices for bulk buys which is great.

I'm going to try shredding denim next, but for that you need actual denim not the blends that come with stretchy jeans. (That's why my fraying isn't so hot) If I can't dig out a pair from my vast hoard I'll raid the many charity shops in my town. At the bottom of this post is a great tutorial if you're looking to do this yourself, she explains it well.
