On Trend - Studded Boots

For those of you who have seen my Instagram @mikaelahofman, you may have already seen these babies! Everyone has mixed feelings about these, but I love them! The pointed toe, studs and stiletto heel are super on trend, I've only had one friend who has said she actually likes them, whaaaat! 

 Inniu Tryst - $109.95 

Snapped up in a warehouse sale for $35, winning.

They are quite high with no platform, but feel sturdy enough to walk with, the heel is super thin and the sole feels rounded so makes it a little unstable. Due to the pointed toe, I had to go up a size; All in all these are reasonably comfortable for their size! As they are made from synthetic materials, you can already see some creases around the movement of the foot, but the studs act as a distraction so no big deal here! This style is amazing for short people like me, actually makes me look like I have legs

DIY Galaxy Converse

As promised, here is the finished product of my sisters converse! I really want to keep them, they turned out much better than the earlier version as the shoe is canvas and gives off a nicer finish. Might have to invest in doing some of these for myself! After a lot of thought I decided on the white laces.

Finished

 Note: You might be able to tell that the rubber sole came out much cleaner, whiter and looking almost brand new! How I did this? Toothpaste and an old brush or scrubber. WIN
