The Leopard Anchor

Making shiny gold accessories look aged.

I've had this belt with lions on for a little while, but every time I went to wear it I took it off because it was so shiny I couldn't take it!

So I grabbed some sharpies, some tissue and matte nail varnish top coat.

It's so much more wearable now. It was easy-peasy, all I did was lightly coloured the buckle in with orange, brown and black sharpies, wiping with a tissue after every bit. When it was all coloured as I wanted and dried I put on two coats of matte top-coat, perfect!

Another easy peasy shoe restyle

All you need is a few of these:

- Clip-on earrings, I picked these up for 50p or £1 a pair in a local charity shop.

And some shoes in need of jazzing up:

These are my favourite flats, they're nude so they go with everything, and comfy too. They are a little plain though.

Clip, clip, clip. And there you have it:

Or...

So simple but can be really effective.

Simple sandal restyle

Phew! I'm finally free from the internet wasteland I've been stranded in since Friday.

Let me tell you about the most comfortable pair of shoes I own. Once upon a time I went to NYC, on my very first day I took a six hour walking tour, in Converse that shredded my feet (I have very sensitive tootsies). So the next day I bought some emergency flipflops, which also shredded my feet - in different places. With ELEVEN blisters I had to try and find some shoes that didn't rub any of them, and find them I did.They're crazy comfy.

Only trouble is they're not very...me.

I've been looking for something a bit more girly, something with flowers or bows! Ooh...bows?

Take one pair of comfy sandals, add some of that herringbone tape stuff and this is what you get.

Lovely!
