Work It Wednesday No. 8 and a DIY

Hey Everyone! I'm back for Work It Wednesday with Laura @ A Little Bit of Lacquer. I apologize for being absent the past few weeks, things got a little crazy around here! From sickness to life stresses, we've been through the ringer over here. Anyway, I'm back in full swing and ready to smother my blog with love!

Work it Wednesday No. 8

I also wanted to share a recent little project I took on. So, you know the Christian Louboutin Altipump? Well, I've been obsessing over them for months and since I absolutely cannot afford Louboutins, I ventured out on a journey to make myself a pair of spiked pumps. I did my own spin on the Altipump. I ordered a beginners studding kit from Studs & Spikes and took an old pair of black pumps from Target and started stabbing holes into my shoes blindly. WARNING! Don't do this. It took me awhile to fix my crooked studs. Trust me, you don't want crooked studs! After a bit of trial and error, I came out with these bad boys!




If you have any other questions, let me know! I used the tools included in the beginners studding kit and a pair of needle nose pliers. I'm happy to be back to my little blog. I promise I won't leave you again (for awhile, at least :)!
Have a great week everyone!

Work It Wednesday No. 3

Happy Hump Day!


This is the third week of Work It Wednesday with Laura from A Little Bit of Lacquer! This link up is going strong and I'm loving putting together new looks for work! This week I put together two different outfits. The first look is this navy kimono style dress with Alexander McQueen studded neon pumps and a floral backpack. My second look is an adorable Miu Miu printed top (in tangerine tango, like from last weeks Friday's Fancies!) paired with a simple khaki 3.1 Phillip Lim skirt, black belt, Bally leather brogues and Alexander McQueen Novak leather clutch. I hope you enjoy!

Work it Wednesday No. 1

This week I'm linking up with Laura at A Little Bit of Lacquer for Work It Wednesday!

I work in a law firm which can be a little stuffy, and while I would love to dress super funky, I prefer to be tone it down a bit to be taken seriously at the office. I am lucky in that I can jazz it up occasionally because it's a small firm, and my boss is pretty lenient when it comes to dress code; I can even get away with wearing jeans on days other than Friday if I'm feeling a little lazy (or haven't done laundry hehe), so I consider myself pretty lucky in that regard.

I went a little crazy with this set. I just kept adding accessories and it turned into a whole mess of things I absolutely love!

Those Intermix sunglasses remind me of glasses my grandma used to wear, she got them in Vienna, Italy probably 15 years ago. I personally thought they were a little out there when I was younger, but now I just love them! My favorite pieces have to be the printed scarf, the Le Silla platforms, the high-waisted sailor-esque pants, and the Valentino headband!

What do you think? Would you rock any of these looks to work?
Thanks to Laura @ A Little Bit of Lacquer for hosting this awesome weekly link-up! I'm looking forward to putting my look together for next week!

In other news, tomorrow I'm meeting up with my friend Adam and taking some outfit pictures! This will be my first "I WANT THESE SHOES" official outfit photo shoot and I'm so excited to share them with you! He's an awesome photographer and I've been conjuring up some ideas as to the location we'll be shooting at, so hopefully it'll be a hit!
Have a wonderful Wednesday, everyone! This song is fitting for today, I just love Dave more than anything!
