Extreme Makeover: Spike Edition


SO MANY PICTURES! It's all because I'm actually proud of this one project. Louboutin has the Rollerboy, UNIF has the Hellraiser and I had an old pair of white converses thrown in the back of my wardrobe. It wasn't fair. But firstly, what makes this pair of shoes special is that they were the first pair of shoes I bought with my own money! It happened four years ago, I was working real hard at my first job and I saved something around 25 dollars so I could walk into the store and buy whatever (not actually) I wanted. So I did it and I can tell you it felt freaking good. But times have changed and it has been two years since I haven't worn them. They WERE white and God knows I tried to clean that fabric but it didn't work. They became boring and that was enough for me to pimp (oh yeah Xzibit style) it. So I changed the structure as well so it would look loafer-ish. It is one of my new favorites. Mission accomplished.

MUITAS MUITAS FOTOS! Isso tudo é porque eu estou realmente orgulhoso deste projeto. Louboutin tem seu Rollerboy, a UNIF tem o Hellraiser e eu tinha um par velho de converses brancos jogados no fundo do meu armário. Não era justo. Mas primeiramente o que faz esse par de sapatos tão especial é que eles foram os primeiros que comprei com meu próprio dinheiro! Isso aconteceu quatro anos atrás, eu estava trabalhando no meu primeiro emprego e guardei mais ou menos 50 reais pra que eu pudesse entrar naquela loja e comprar qualquer coisa (não de fato) que eu quisesse. Então eu comprei e a sensação foi ótima. Mas o tempo passou e fazem dois anos que eu não uso mais ele. Eles ERAM brancos e Deus sabe que eu tentei deixá-los brancos novamente mas isso não aconteceu. O sapato virou sem graça e isso foi suficiente para que eu desse uma renovada nele. Alterei a estrutura dele um pouco para ficar com um ar de loafer. Virou um dos meus preferidos do momento. Missão cumprida.

Start From The Beggining









Well, I have been planing to have my own blog since I was 15 but I never did it. Now I'm doing it and I have some pictures and videos that I've been keeping on my computer for so long that I gotta start this blog from the begining.

Those pictures were taken last year, with some friends while I was in Brazil. This jacket is a canadian hockey varsity jacket that I bought for something around 12 dolars in a second hand store in Brazil (really funny right).

By that time I used to wear braces paires with glasses that I found in a dusty old box at home. They were my grand-grandfather glasses. I just changed the lens so it would fit me (and my sight problems). I currently do not wear braces and only wear my glasses at school if necessary.

I really hope I can keep this up and hope you enjoy it.
