DIY Spiked Creepers!

I ordered these creepers off Ebay along with some screw back spikes (7mm). I was inspired by the Jeffrey Campbell Stingers, and wanted to make my own version! I marked the spots where I was going to put the spikes with a white gel pen (it easily rubs off), and then drilled holes into the spots. I then just put the backs of the spikes in and screwed them together. I absolutely adore the way they turned out, but unfortunately, they were too small. I was planning on stretching them out, but after wearing them once, I realized that wasn't going to work, so I sold them. I might make another pair in the future because they were so awesome. What do you all think of them? Have you tried any spiked DIY projects?

In other news, I just got accepted at two design internships that I start next week! I'm super excited! The internships are at http://www.horseandnail.com/ and http://natalieandalanna.com/
I can't wait! :)

Siren London

I recently stumbled across the online shop Siren London. I fell in love with so many of their amazing clothes! My absolute favorite has got to be this one because it's so unique and I love it's rock and rock vibe (and it's on its way to me now! so excited!):

And these were my other favorites:

What do you all think? What's your favorite? You can shop Siren London HERE.

Also, I am still getting setup up in New York, but I am loving it so far! The only thing I have to get used to is the hour long commute from Brooklyn to Manhattan. I am also working on some dresses for the Dresses for Haiti charity fashion show. I need to finish them all by July 1st so I have a lot of work to do, but I'm super excited for my first fashion show!

I also need to buy a new tripod..do any of you know any good places to get one?

Graduated from High School!

So, I officially graduated from high school last wednesday! I know I am late in posting this, but I have been so stressed for time lately since I'm moving to New York. Anyway, I ended up wearing my red suede and lace dress with the hand-beading. Even though I didn't mean it to match my school colors, it did since it's red, cream, and black.

Also, I really wanted to wear a Lana Del Rey-inspired flower crown instead of the ugly grad caps, but unfortunately I was not able too... Hopefully I will find a lot of other occasions to wear my flowers though because I bought a ton of them to make crowns, bracelets, anklets, necklaces, and shoe harnesses! I've already made a red and white crown, and can't wait to show you all how the others turn out.

Post-Graduation Pictures

I just graduated from high school, everyone! Whoooo! And I know I am going out of order with this, but I wanted to upload my after graduation photo shoot pictures first. I was testing out the new camera my dad got me for graduation. It's a Nikon AW100. It's waterproof, 16 megapixels, and has a filter cap-which I know nothing about so let me know if you know anything about filters! Here's a picture that you probably saw already if you follow me on instagram (@sewinginstilettos):

And here are some of the pictures! I'm really proud of the first three because I took them and have no photography knowledge, but I think they turned out pretty awesome. Also, the high-waisted shorts that I wore for the shoot and leather in the front and have zipper pockets and are just amazing. They're definitely one of my favorite vintage pieces!
