Shoesday Tuesday - a spot of DIY - got some shoes you never... use? Turning some unworn "glove" shoes into a wearable leopard classic pump.

I loved these shoes when I first saw them! But I quickly forgot about them as you do... 

Then one day I spied them ON-SALE at Topshop and just HAD to have them...

However, the Vamp is cut so high it's unflattering so I never wear them. I figured I had nothing to lose and decided to take to them with my sharp sewing scissors...

It was almost too easy.  I think they look a little less grandma now.

Joseph | Everlane | Celine

A few brands have picked up this silhouette, I like it on other people but for me it was just too granny-ish and un-wearable.

I think they look much better now.

What do you guys think?

Obviously if these WERE Celine I would never cut them but as they were not being worn I thought I'd try some DIY.

Would you guys attempt to redesign any of your shoes?

Shoesday Tuesday = Shoesday. Selling some - MORE!! - shoes on Trademe, New Zealands own Ebay

These boots are to die  look at the acrylic heels!

But theyre a tad too small to be comfortable...

and they make me AN INSANELY TALL PERSON.

d

Bought both these pairs of shoes online 

While I love them both, the heels are INSANE

If you could take an inch off the height I would wear the Sh*t out of these shoes

Love the blue croc!

These pretties were an online job from +Wild Pair 

I actually emailed head office when they disappeared off their site

The heel/arch is very high so I just wear them when I know I wont be walking a lot!

I am slowly learning my lesson with online shopping.

Bags are good, Nail polishes, eyeshadows...

but not so much things you need to try on

and I know there are returns - but who can be bothered with that?

Answer: I should.

 I love these shoes but in about 7 years Ive worn them maybe ONCE! So they're GONE

They've literally met their reserve and are GOING.

I like these shoes, but I've had enough of them

They feel dated now, someone else can enjoy them.

I bought these shoes on a whim and don't love them

so thought I would see how they do in a sale.

As you can see I buy shoes first, ask questions later...

I really want some over-the-knee boots...

These could do it: Diba Knee high boot from +Wild Pair 

Aaaaaand I bought these yesterday...

All in all the downsizing aint going so great.

Happy Shoesday All.

**update**
I also just bought some new black pumps!
At least I'm off-loading... as well as re-loading?

Shoesday Tuesday = SHOESDAY. Paula is officially off-loading.

A girl really can have too many shoes...

Just mailed these puppies away today

In addition to re-organizing my Wardrobe/closet I am selling some SHOES

I love the look of these sandals... but never wore them :-/

You may be asking "WHY PAULA?"

Why would I want to sell any of my collection?

To answer that simply: Causes I don't wear them!

 These ones just closed yesterday. Only wore them out ONCE

 These blush sandals were my first feedback ever - nailed it

Tried to offload these girls twice - think I may want too much for them

but I'm not willing to sell them too cheap!!

I'm loving these little ladies fro ASOS... Might have to replenish the stock I've lost.

Those are Koosh balls on the front!

Happy Shoesday All!

Mondayitis - Harolds AMAZING 22nd floor Appartment in the Stamford Residences Auckland City

Eurgh, how is it MONDAY again?

 So... we were in town for Auckland Anniversary Weekend for Laneway Festival.

Hence the lovely Fireworks!!!

We were invited to take in the view from an acquaintances new apartment in the Stamford Hotel Residences - Spoiler Alert: IT WAS AWESOME!!!!

 I was intrigued to see what a permanent hotel residence looked like (pretty much just an inner-city apartment) it was bigger than my HOUSE - so pretty nice ;-)

The Bathrooms (3 bedroom, 3 bathroom, one large office) were ALL MARBLE.

As you step out of the elevator - View of the Auckland Harbor Bridge

 Almost a 240 degree view! Insane wall of windows

View of Devonport's North Shore and BEYOND

Seriously - this is taken out the window of his Home!

I've done him a painting for him to hang up in his new place!

Hope you guys are exploring and discovering new things
