Refashioning tips for shoes

Today I found several good tips how to make old shoes a bit more exiting. I wanted to share them with you, because I feel like trying them out someday!

I love these shoe clips! They are very easy to make, you'll probably need just couple of small clips, two colours of satin ribbon and some thread and glue. Clips are great, because you can put them on or take them off your shoes whenever you want.

Same thing here, only the ribbon is different.

Or you can just make yourself your own pair of cinderella shoes by gluing a lot of sparkly pearls, crystals or glitter on your shoes.

Gorgeous re-painted shoes featuring foxes :D Also lots of other ideas on this website.

Pinterest, but here is the tutorial

You can also just repaint your shoes and make some fun pictures on them!

Sunday Snippets: A first

I had my first ever performance with a symphonic orchestra yesterday at the beautiful Alatskivi castle. It was simply magical! I can't even begin to describe the incredible feeling of performing with a live orchestra. I knew from the first rehearsal that this was what I was built for. I can't believe it took me so long to figure out what I was meant to be in life, but I'm so glad I had the courage to follow my dream once I did.

I really need to work on my facial expressions on stage. Yikes!

It was also the big debut of my concert dress. I hope I can make a proper introduction on the blog during next week.

Tomorrow's my second concert with the same orchestra, so wish me good luck, and I'll see you on the blog real soon!

How can I possibly work a poofy tulle skirt into my everyday wardrobe? Galaxie Andrews photography

I have been a great fan of tulle skirts since I was a little girl. It was probably because my mom was a ballerina and I spent most of my early childhood in theatre. Two years ago I saw one episode from Sex and the City, where Carrie wears a gorgeus light mint coloured tulle skirt. I fell in love with it, so I started to make mine, but I still haven't finished it..Now I decided to take it up again, so I'll keep you tuned with my progress!
