Before and After: Lace Shorts

I have one major flaw when it comes to 'Before and After' projects. I (without fail) always forget to take the 'Before' picture and just go to straight to work on the up-cycling. For this project I was able to just do some pinning to get the 'Before' look, other projects I haven't been so lucky! 

Before

These are a pair of khaki shorts that a friend gave to me in 2007. They are pretty boring and slightly outdated, so I thought I would give them a little make over!

After

I used two different types of vintage lace from my Mum's collection of vintage material for the make over. They are so much fun to wear now! They have a really feminine feel, which I love pairing with my shit kicker boots! I will post some outfit pictures with them soon! 

This make over was inspired by Sincerely, Kinsey, a blog that I found through A Beautiful Mess. Here's a look at her shorts make over! Both sites having amazing ideas for DIY. Make sure you check them out!

Tap Shoes

This past Christmas right before going on stage to perform, one of my front taps exploded into a whole bunch of pieces. This was the result. 

I went on with my broken tap. Not going to lie, I was a little worried, but everything went well and the audience loved it. I am definitely in need of a new pair of tap shoes. I haven't gotten new shoes yet, but they are high up on my wish list. When I was in Vancouver I purchased new front taps for my old shoes and high heels taps so that I can build up a pair of my character shoes.

 I have been craving/needing high heel tap shoes for over a year now. Hopefully I will have a pair by the end of the month! I can't wait! 

What's your favourite style of high heel tap shoe?

Love,
