spikes and studs galore

This summer studs and spikes have wormed their way in to fashion and have had a huuuge impact on everyones statements. It seems like everyone have come to terms with the fact that not only heavy metal lovers can pull it off. Some people completely cover themselves in s&s whereas others add a hint here and there to keep it subtle but still rock it.

SHOES-

 These sculpted heels have studs in their curve. Because they are already such a big statement, the studs just make them even more loveable and because they look so good people are less worried about how they would actually walk in them (they dont look too comfy)

CLOTHES-

Studded denim shorts with a quirky band top or a cute blouse are very on trend at the minute, a lot of people have taken it upon themselves to DIT (do it themselves) and stud the heck out of their clothes like me instead of spending a whole whad of money on them. The Leather jacket looks gorg with denim shorts or black milk galaxy leggings and look good with a minimal amount of studs and spikes but also look good when heaving with the things. 

JEWELLERY-

Spikes on ear cuffs, choker necklaces, bracelets and rings are a must have this Summer, they look cute but also give your outfit a rockyfied edge. If you aren't daring enough to go the whole hog with the studs and spikes on your jacket or shorts, then the jewellery is for you! It looks great without looking 'over done'.

BEAUTY-

It has now come to my attention that you can buy small stud look-a-like stickers to let your nails get in with the trend. They look so cute and can also be done with nail art so you can do it yourself. 

Do you like the studs and spikes trend? Do you own something with them on?

D.I.Y STUDDED DENIM SHORTS

I've been loving the in season studded denim shorts over the past month or two but just can't fork out around 30£ for them, so I decided to go ahead and make them myself. I mean, how hard can it really be?!

I got slightly carried away with the studding, but hey.. it looks great!

As I don't own a pair of jeans that don't fit me (if only I knew how to do this before I cleared out my wardrobe!), I woke up one morning and had a nice stroll into town with my mum and scouted through several charity shops where I found old jeans and denim shorts each under £3.00  (HOOORAH! what a bargain!). I already had some random studs lying around the house so I decided to use them but you can purchase them on ebay in all colours and shapes.

What you will need;
- Old jeans or denim shorts
- Fabric scissors
- Studs of your choice


Step one: Try your jeans on and decide how short you want them to be. Mark a line and using your scissors cut along your line

Step two: Decide where you want to put your studs and how many you will be using

Step three: Using the prongs on the studs, push them through the denim and on the inside of the shorts, close over the prongs to secure them onto the jeans.

Step four: Carry on putting your studs on your shorts, if you want the bottom of  your shorts to look frayed get your scissors and on the inside pull out the bits of material

AND VOILA! Your shorts are now personally customised for under £5!

What do you think of these studded denim shorts? Are there any items of clothing you own that you have customised?
