Burgundy/ Framboesa/ Vinho/ Borgonha/ Bordô/ Whateverelseyouwannacall



Not really much to say. I was in desperate need to have new shoes. Plus, I've been slowly falling into that whole burgundy trend thing. But it has been for a while. Since last year I decided that burgundy was my red. My wardrobe is not color full but I love a great outstanding pair of shoes. So the reason why I have this blog and why I ''create'' all those things showed up once again in my life. I want it, I don't know where I can buy it and I just don't have enough money to owe a Gucci (like Andrew Garfield does). I made my own.
 Twice a year, my city has the (not really) National ~craziness~ for Shoes Fair. I spotted this affordable pair with potential. Had to get a smaller size because its shape is not the best (yes, I do things like that) but they are not ridiculously tight, just a little bit. I can handle that. After all I had no idea what I was doing, so I just grabbed some fabric paint, some polish spray and did it. It is not perfect (it look lighter than it actually is on the pictures, camera flash's fault) since the paint is not made for leather, neither the polish for stretching materials but I guess I will be rocking these all winter long.

Não tenho muita coisa pra dizer. Eu estava em desespero querendo comprar/ganhar sapatos novos. E pra completar eu estou caindo lentamente nessa tal de tendência do vinho/bordô e tal. Mas faz um tempinho já. Ano passado decidi que o vinho era o meu vermelho, até porque meu guarda-roupa não é cheio de muitas cores. Mas eu curto muito um bom par de sapatos marcante. Então a razão pela qual eu tenho esse blog e eu faço todas estas coisas que se encontram aqui postadas deu as caras na minha vida novamente. Eu queria, não tinha onde comprar por aqui e eu não tenho dinheiro pra adquirir um Gucci (como Andrew Garfield). Eu fiz os meus próprios. 
Duas vezes no ano, minha cidade tem a Feira da Loucura por Sapato / Feira (nem tão) Nacional do Calçado. Avistei esse modesto par e vi um potencial. Tive que comprar um tamanho menor porque o formato deles não era o melhor (sim, eu me submeto a isso) mas não é extremamente apertado, só um pouco. Consigo aguentar. Depois disso tudo eu não fazia idéia do que eu tava fazendo então peguei uma tinta pra tecido mesmo, um verniz em spray e fiz. O sapato não é perfeito (ficou bem mais claro nas fotos, tudo culpa do flash) já que a tinta não é feita pra ser aplicada em couro, nem o verniz para coisas que esticam mas acredito que vou gastar ele todo esse inverno pelo menos.

Non-identical Twins








Bought those at Asos.com. I felt I had to pimp them a little bit so is sort of created two distinct personalities for each one of them. One is Navajo kinda-of-thing and its really spring looking. The other one has a concrete, monocromatic constantly moving (the fringe) feeling. Love them so bad. I'm considering wearing one in each foot.

 Comprei estes dois na Asos.com. Senti que precisava dar uma incrementada neles então eu criei uma espécie de personalidade pra cada um deles. Um tem essa pegada navajo, étnico e me lembra a primavera. O outro tem um ar de urbano, concreto e movimento constante (as franjas). Amo os dois demais que estou pensando em usar um em cada pé.

Wild DIY













For such a long time I've been so obsessed with leopard shoes but I couldn't find man sizes. Therefore, I did what I alwayss do: I made my own. I did this last year in June and I have to say I wasn't expecting it to become such a big hit as it is now. A lot of people asked me to show how I did it, so here it is.
I used:

- A pair of shoes (white ones from H&M)
- A pair of scissors
- Fabric glue
- Measuring tape
- Decoration ribbon
- Fabric marker/ permanent marker

P.S. I'm not teaching anything. I think anybody can make that and we all know how to do it (you can see how easy it is), I'm just showing how I did it and maybe I can help someone with some ideas. And for all of you who doubted and said i was lying when I said I did it (yes, some people just go ignorant sometimes)...
Hope you all enjoy.
