A few weeks ago I spied THIS AMAZING SHOE by Dolce & Gabbana and fell in love. I know there are a few other similar designs and on flats as well (I’ve linked them below) but the Dolce & Gabbana pumps are what truly inspired me to create something similar. However, the DIY has got …
Happy Monday Lovecats! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and holiday weekend and for those international Lovecats, I hope you had a lovely weekend as well 🙂 I thought I’d use this Monday to motivate you with a fun DIY to inspire and get your creative juices flowing! If you follow fashion, you …
Tassels add a fun and playful vibe to just about anything they adorn… and shoes may be the most fun of all. Whether colorful or monochromatic, in leather, suede, felt, rope, yarn or string, the bouncy affect of tassels around your ankles or at your toes just bring your feet and shoes to life. With …
Gladiator Sandals and Lace-up Leather Sandals are everywhere right now and not only are they wildly expensive, they’re selling out fast. My favorite DIYs spawn from necessity, or rather come from a desire to have something to wear in that very moment that I don’t own and thus have to make to get the feel …
You can’t think of ’90s fashion without ’60s and ’70s styles coming to mind, well, I can’t anyway, because when I think back to some of my favorite looks of the time, they were either inspired by those decades, or quite literally taken from them. In the ’90s is when I started really shopping at …
Vans Custom Culture was created to inspire and empower high school students to embrace their creativity through art and design, and to bring attention to diminishing arts education budgets. Custom Culture is a national high school customization competition using four pairs of blank Vans shoes to be customized around four themes: Art, Music, Action Sports …
Shoe DIYs are my absolute favorite. My very first DIY on this blog was my DIY Louboutin Petal sandals back in 2009 and I’ve been at it ever since. I get really excited about great shoe diys, and it seems they’re on the forefront of my creativity when it comes to DIYs lately… AND it’s …
Inspired a little by these Snake Ankle Strap Sandals and a little more by these Alligator T-strap Sandals both by Giuseppe Zanotti and both over $1500 for the pair, I though why not make my own DIY Snake Sandals and see how they compare? I originally was going to use the black sandals as in …
Last year for Delilah’s birthday, I got these adorable pewter lace up oxford style kids shoes for her and unfortunately she wasn’t a fan and rarely chose to wear them. I didn’t take it personally though, she has a fondness for all things pink and purple at the moment and I know she’ll grow into …
These are one of two pairs of ballet flats in my closet… the other pair are actual ballet slippers. It’s not that I don’t like them, I do, but I have the hardest time finding a pair that not only fit my feet correctly, but that stay on and that I can actually walk in. …
While I was on Pinterest one night last week, I found these adorable lace socklets and thought, obviously, I can totally make those! And so can you! I’m not sure if you remember, but last year I found these by a company called Kushyfoot with padding under the ball of the foot to make wearing …
Houndstooth is by no means a new textile, however, it has hit the fashion trend radar once again and seems to be popping up in every magazine I open as of late. Most blame Lady Gaga and her outrageous head-to-toe houndstooth ensemble. And she may have brought it to the masses attention but the dress …
When Target approached me about a Converse One Star DIY challenge I couldn’t resist, but it wasn’t until I saw these Miu Miu glitter sneakers that I had any clue how I was going to give my white sneaks a personality all their own. DIYers have been glueing glitter to their shoes for decades! The …
