Gem Stone Gretel

It's been a long time, long time, shouldn't have left you, left you... Aaliyah accidentally starts this post off.

Okay, a few weeks ago, one of the banner ad's on my chictopia sent me to something beautiful.
A beautiful website called Solestruck full of artistic shoes of wonder all in a price range completely foreign to me.  I was captivated by Haus of Price shoes.  However, stuck in a bad place because I can't afford them.
But I can afford spray paint, rhinestones and glue.  So we got this! We got it good!

Shoes: DIY by me; Shorts: thrifted; Blouse: Forever 21; Vest: Forever 21; Sunglasses: Charming Charlie; Hair extension: Ulta


So with a few hours of sprayin, gluin, oohin, and ahhin, I made these babies out of an old pair of shoes I never wear anymore.  They've lost a few gems since their original construction, but its like I just leave a trail of rhinestones whenever I wear them.



"Where's Lydia?"
"Follow the trail of colorful, sparkly rhinestones, you'll find her."



Gem stone Gretel is here to stay, now I just need to bedazzle my brother's shoes, there will be a gem stone Hansel and we'll be set. ;)

love yall, so happy to post and check your posts again xoxoox lydee
