DIYING!...Studding the JCrew Patent Flats

Honestly, this probably isn't the most professional way to DIY...but I usually just wing it and use what I got in my hizzle! (it's cheaper)....

It was pretty easy...I got the studs I wanted, the flats I wanted to stud...and made shit happen!

What you'll need:

1. X-acto Knife

2. Studs

3. Pliers

How:

1. Figure out the pattern/design for the studs (obviously)

2. Make an imprint of the stud prongs on the patent leather

3. Use the X-acto knife to make small slits through the leather, in the place of the imprint

4. Stick the prongs through the slits

5. Use pliers to fold down the prongs on the inside of the shoe

Annnnd done!

WEEKEND WORDS

show 'em what you got this weekend bitches! Cheers! 

NASTYGAL

Above are a few snaps from the NastyGal Relaunch/Coachella party at The Roosevelt in Hollywood last night! Quite a mixed crowd consisting of hipsters (of course), stylists, PR chicks, Hollywood-ites, and the random porn star, ahem- Jenna Jameson...(yeah, for real). We drank some PBR's and danced the night away to the beats of Sky Ferreira and Breakbot! It was #totes amaze, as  you can see from the silly improvised photo booth pics with friends and random people in the last shots. #nastytothenextlev ;)

DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT: STONE_COLD_FOX

A success story from my hometown, the girls of Stone_Cold_Fox are probably the raddest chicks in OC.  Why? Well, let me tell ya!...

1. They use lace brilliantly, and all their fabrics are of admirable quality

2. Their pieces are dreamy, delicate, and unique- obviously, just look at the pics above! 

3. Every piece is made when ordered, so no mass production going on here! 

3. The name Stone_Cold_Fox came from a line in the movie 'The Virgin Suicides'- totally badass. 

 The pics above are from their Beautiful//Imperfection 2012 Collection, and there is a lot more where that came from. Browse their site here to check out more from their collections, you know you wanna, I mean, who doesn't want to be a Stone Cold Fox?
