Fast DIY: Glitter shoes.


Have some bland and boring shoes? I bring you the solution! with this DIY you can customize your old shoes transforming them in minutes.
I bought these shoes in Zara sales one or two years ago and probably I not have worn them more than twice.
So I decided it was time to get them out of the closet...
It's easy, you just need: glue, glitter, adhesive tape, hair spray and two brushes.



★ STEPS:
-Isolate the ends of the shoe with tape.
-With a brush cover the end with glue.
-Sprinkle the glitter over the adhesive area.
-Let the tips of the shoe dry in the sun.
-Remove the tape and fix the glitter with hair spray.
-Remove the old strings and replace them with satin ribbons.

 Et Voilà!
Some people say that see life in black and white is not bad, just another way of looking at life. But having glitter, who could resist to see life in color?
Have you ever customized your shoes?

5 Tips to raze with neon.

The neon colors flood our streets, filling the city with a spring echo, sometimes not very nice (if we abuse them, we can end up looking a semaphore or outdated eighties) anyway, combining these colors properly we can get the perfect casual look .It's important to be careful, be realistic, these colors can be "complicated" (especially in people with pale skin )


Some of my neon stuff
"Tears of color" photo taken by me.
So, let's look at some tips which can help us to "deal" with this trend:
★  Find the neon color you like most and the one that is most flattering with your skin tone and hair color. For  example: if you are super pale the neon yellow and orange will make you look sickly. Go instead for the neon pink or cobalt blue.
★  Don’t spend a lot of money. This very important.Today the streets are neon, tomorrow will be pastel.
★  Choose accessories thoughtfully. With the vibrancy of these colors, your accessories will be your tool to play down impact to the look, the black, white or navy blue may prove to be your great ally.
★  Go step by step ,a neon necklace or even just some neon nail polish can be a great way to be on trend and try out the look without going purchasing things you won’t end up wearing (If you work in an office, consider wearing it on just your toenails, your boss may not approve of neon fingernails.)
★  Normally these colors will make you larger, try to accentuate slender zones like the waist to compensate this effect.

P.S.: If you still believing that the neon colors are not made for you, you can always use them in another area, like for example trying to do Pop-Art. This tis my result...Are you ready?
