Gold dip DIY


DIY Gold-dipped shoes tutorial

So last week I did the kitty cats on your flats. But if you've still got more pumps to spare, or didn't fancy a cat on your shoe- why not go for a chic gold finish?

You will need:

  • Ballet flats/pumps or any other shoe which needs a boast :)
  • Tape
  • Gold spray paint
  • Plastic bags
  • Newspaper (optional)
Method:
  1. Choose your pair of shoes to give their mojo back and put some newspaper down on the floor/surface you are working on.
  2. If you have any bows on your pumps (or anything else decorative) using scissors, cut them off.
  3. Next, tape off your shoe 2-3 inches from the top. Plastic bags can be used to cover the rest of the soles. Now spray away. One coat may not be enough, try 2 or 3 coats.
  4. Allow 15 minutes drying time then unravel the tape off your new shoes!
  5. Repeat to the other shoe. If you have any different coloured spray paints- feel free to experiment.
So if you can't afford those new designer heels, I gurantee these are so much cheaper to do. How proud would you be if you said 'Oh I didn't buy them, made it myself' :)


Supplies:




Today was interesting. Injection day. I swear this always happens in school. I may not be a drama queen on the outside, but on the inside I'm secretly wetting myself at the thought of things. Like injections and exams. It's always, walk in relaxed and chilled about it. Not necessarily wanting to speak about it (thus making the thought worse). It's like a jungle in school. Everyone's going ballistic at the thought of it. The Mexican wave effect I like to call it. Now you're a bit twitchy at the thought of it. Sounding familiar? Anyway, when I actually got into the room I did start to feel sick. Sadly, if I was sick my mum would probably be at work so I'd be left at school. I'd probably get an extra dose of the jab. The lady started talking to me about the summer holidays (hurry up summer!) and asked where are you going. I replied with 'Sp' and paused. Then over- exaggerated the 'PAINNN' sound afterwards. Okay I didn't scream. But there was an awkward part where I did feel the Pain in Spain. As I walked out of the classroom, I sauntered past the quivering teenagers awaiting their jabs. What did I do? Held my arm tightly  acting like it did put the Pain in Spain. When really it was the ice in Iceland.  Quite funny when you see the boys do the whole 'I'm manly, a little injection is no match for my manliness' then they sit in the waiting room and look as if they want Mummy to come and collect them. Turns out one of the 'bad boys' who smoke and what not did actually get their mum to pick them up. Ooosh.


Have been a tad uninspired lately, therefore not many posts. But I shall be posting more frequently this week.
Hasta la vista Stylista's!

Hi Stylista's!


Thank you to Michelle Hicks and Ellie Walker (who was going to say the same thing bless her!) for the new fan name. Now, if you read ArrayO'Style you're officially a Stylista. Loving it. Loving the Stylista's. Asta la vista Stylista's. See it works? That HAS to go on a t-shirt. Speaking of t-shirts, check out http://www.districtlines.com/xxxfashionqueenxxx1 there's discounts on most items but tomorrow I'll be working on designing the S/S 2013 line. Great stuff.

Why am I posting? Just an update as the posts haven't really been written as they are normally. I know excuses, excuses. I did miss most of fashion week too... :( This week I should start recapping them, maybe I'll do a video? I tried it before but might work...

Anyway. Besides the boring shizzle. What happens when Mum decides to go on a rollercoaster? Long story short, as it was Mother's day yesterday (Hope any mums had a lovely day, daughters hope you bought good pressies!). Our theme park did a 'Bring your Mum for free entry' thing. Our family being bargain hunters (apart from me, hence some of the stuff in my room) went. This was when it was supposedly the hottest day of the year so far, look what it's like today. A blizzard, then it takes a break for 10 minutes, then back again. And it's always when you're outside that it starts again. Eh typical British weather. Bet the Australian Stylista's are thinking 'Phew we're just chilling here tanning, it's probably 100 degrees. In your face Brits!' I would be, lul. Yeah, so I convinced my Mum to go on the fastest ride there. She was feeling very 'daredevil' today- I wasn't being mean! So I went on it, despite being a bit anxious myself. I soon wish I didn't let her go on... As soon as it started, we weren't even moving- she was screaming her head off. I thought, 'Great'. When we actually started moving, she threw up on the lady in front. When the ride finished (and she was exiting and Mum was trying to offer her tissues etc) it turned out the lady was my English teacher! She looked horrified. Any other day, fine. But it's so close to parent's evening. PARENT'S EVENING. Bribery's okay right?
