DIY Tutorial: How to Kawaii-ify Your Winter Boots (Super Sweet ❤)

Hey guys ❤

It's getting colder outside, which means that most of you are either:

1. Surrendering your impeccable fashion sense to Uggs in exchange for warmth

1. Surrendering your last four paychecks to import footwear that is both cute and warm

Luckily for you, I'm here to let you know that there is in fact a third option >:)

On to the tutorial  o(^^o) (o^^)o

For this tutorial, you will need:

• Fabric Paint
• Fabric Glue
• Craft Fur (I used two pre-packaged pieces of fur, but I'd recommend visiting a fabric store)
• Two decorative centerpieces, such as bows or flowers

 

Start with a pair of boots no longer worthy of seeing the outdoors. This is what mine looked like after being washed, so it's safe to say that it was time for them to retire.

Using fabric paint, paint them in a shade of your choosing. If you make a mistake, use a wet q-tip or sponge to clean up the area.

Depending on the dimensions of your craft fur, this step may or may not be necessary. Fold fur in half.

Cut down the center. This was only necessary because my fur wasn't quite long enough to cover the circumference of my boots~

Using fabric glue, secure fur to the boot.

If you're left with a gap, cut a piece of craft fur equal to the length of the exposed area.

Use fabric glue to secure the smaller piece of fur. To ensure that the pieces blend seamlessly, make sure that the hair of each piece points in the same direction.

Repeat for your second shoe.

Time for bows! Use fabric glue to secure bows to craft fur.

Dry overnight.

 Enjoy *^^*

My Hime Inspired Eyeglass Case❤

Hey guys!

I've had this post in the making for several weeks now. I'm so sorry for putting it off X_x

I've been having so much fun in school!

Before I left for school, I wanted to ensure that I carried my eyeglasses with style, so I decorated it ^^. If you'd like to see how, please stay tuned for the tutorial.

Start with a plain eyeglass case. 

Gather any/all paints, decorations, and embellishments necessary to achieve your desired look. I ultimately used spray paint, glitter, lace, glitter ribbon, a large fabric flower, and heart shaped rhinestone stickers.

Using craft spray paint, apply a thin coat of paint to your eyeglass case. Apply as many coats as necessary.

While wet with final coat of paint, sprinkle eyeglass case with craft glitter.

Once dry, retrieve lace trim of you choosing.

Using hot glue and/or E6000, secure trim around case edges

Add accent ribbon.

Decorate with small gems and floral centerpiece.

Secure a small bow atop case closure.

Voila! Now you have an eyeglass case that requires another case to avoid damage of our decorations x)

Or if you're like me, you can just chuck in a drawer and forget about it because you find glasses to be a hassle >< (so much for carrying glasses in style -.-)

Ta ta for now my lovelies ^^~

Wholesale-Dress.net Review (Shoes)

There are many many reviews on this online store, and very few of them are positive. I've made 10+ orders from Wholesale-Dress.net, and my experiences have been pretty mixed as well. However, I've had extremely great success with their shoes in particular, and I've recently made an order of shoes exclusively that I thought I'd share with a review ^^

I'll start with my favorite pair here:

 ($12.16 at time of purchase)
These look exactly like the photo, and I am extremely pleased with them. They're just so cute!

 Next:

($9.19 at time of purchase)
These are almost exactly like the stock photo (with an exception of the ribbon around the top). I like these well enough, they are casual and simple. Unfortunately, they are a little bit uncomfortable T_T.

Next:

($15.95 at time of purchase)

Now that I'm looking, I wish that I'd tied the bow a little better for the picture -__-'

In the stock photo, these boots are more of a pink color than the lavender color that they are in real life. I was a little disappointed at first, within a few minutes I realized that there was no reason for disappointment. They are VERY cute shoes. These are comfortable and very warm.

Next:

($10.00 at time of purchase)
Okay, I was pretty disappointed with these. They look SO cheap and are SO uncomfortable. I wish I could return them T_T I'll probably end up wearing them eventually, and who knows? I may change my mind and start to accept them.

Last:

($16.22 at time of purchase)
Oooo these are pretty popular among my friends. In fact, one of my friends and I wear the same size shoe and she has already asked to borrow them ^^ These have a pretty high wedge heel, but they also have a platform (which makes them a bit easier to walk in). They're very comfortable, and very very fashionable. I've gotten many many compliments on them.

OVERVIEW

Pros:

• Relatively inexpensive
• Soooo many styles
• Relatively fast shipping from China (under 7 days)
• Unique styles *^^*

 Cons:

• Heavy chemical smell upon arrival (I had to leave them outside overnight)
• Not always like the picture
• Sometimes uncomfortable
• EXPENSIVE shipping

In short, I typically enjoy shopping here. There are a lot of products available that I wouldn't have access to where I live. (Plus, no one ever has the same things =P)Take this review as you will, and please take other reviews into consideration as well!

I am in no way affiliated with Wholesale-dress.net. These products were not provided for this review, nor am I being paid for it. These are my honest opinions.
