yay, Blogger is not banned from Hong Kong!  I guess it's only Mainland China which is where I will be from tomorrow on.  Quick post of what I'm wearing.  This outfit is ENTIRELY about comfort.  10 hour shopping missions mean sweats pants, loose tee, and comfy walking boots (with gellin pads inside!)
heather grey tee-Copula
floral sweatpants-Hong Kong
ankle boots-vintage from Etsy
leopard wire headband-Thailand
buttery soft leather bag-vintage


P.S.  THANK YOU for all the lovely comments about the diy boots!  I had no idea people would like them so much since they are a little kookoo.  Also thanks to every single one of you who is following me on BlogLovin...I can't tell you how humbled I am.  For those of you who don't know BlogLovin, you need to get on it now!!!  It allows you to keep track of all your favorite blogs on one page, automatically updating who has updated! Definitely helps the inspiration process instead of clicking every blog to check for updates!  Here's a vid on how it works:

Dear Charles Anastase,  
For months, I have been writing you, inquiring about these dungeon boots:
and I promise I would have paid good money for your awesome design,  but since I did not hear from you, I could not wait any longer....I made them myself.  I'm sorry.  I don't usually buy knock-offs, and you can rest assured I will not profit monetarily like other companies (*ahem* JS) from your design...


Sincerely,
Christine


Ok, folks, now that I have gotten that off my chest...I will now reveal how truly insane I am.  The process of making these were so painful....Frankly, I dont even want to talk or think about it ever again!
I started with these classy bad boys from Pleaser.  I hated the shape of the heel....how it curved in and was sort of skinny.  I also didn't like how the platform wasn't seamless.  So what do you use to fix a common problem like that?  Good ole BONDO.

I filled the seams with bondo and sanded it until it was smooth.  For the heel, I kept packing on the putty to get the right thickness.
The sanding part was terrible.  I wanted to cry every minute of it.
After I achieved the shape I wanted, Eric helped me spray it with black texturized rubber spray.  I then jammed on some spikes I bought from Ebay and laced them with the dirtiest sneaker laces I could find.  There you have it...my "never do it again do it yourself" project.


I'm off to work in Hong Kong, China, Tokyo for the next 3 weeks...Sadly, China does not allow me to use blogger over there so I will not be updating... be good kids and all my love ♥

really love these shorts at the moment....bought them for the color and went to town on them with our handy dremel machine!


Spent Mother's Day sans my mother ☹ (miss you!) but I did get to meet Rachel from StyleStalker! We strolled the Rose Bowl flea market together bright and early.  Apologies for no pics as I am pretty much brain dead in the mornings and forgot the camera.  She is one cool chick though...not only is she sweet as hell but her boyfriend also happens to be in an awesome band called P'NAU (as fate would have it...I had their CD in my car!) check them out!

shoes? i guess it doesn't matter but I'm wearing my vintage mules.  I don't usually like to look like I'm floating across the ground "feetless"...but the inseams on these jeans are too long even after getting them hemmed!  I swear they weren't this long on me the last time I wore them...maybe i've shrunk with old age?
