Pretty Things: Shoesies!

I found some magnificent shoes whilst shopping recently and I couldn't be more ecstatic about these cuties!

First off, I adore shoes. I can't get enough... I mean what girl can. For serious. Secondly, I found these at the most incredibly dirt cheap price, evaaar! Spending over $100 for shoes? No thank you, not for this girl.

Blush Bow Peep Toe Kitten Heels-- Brand: Pierre Dumas from Burlington Coat Factory: $7.98

The color, the bow... enough said. The moment I laid eyes on these I knew I had to have them. These are a tad bit oversized (when I actually walk around it's not too loose) because I usually wear around a size 5 to a size 6 at most and these are a 6 1/2, but I couldn't turn away from a ridiculously cute pair of shoes for $7.98.

Blush Polka Dot Bow Flats-- Brand: Zigisoho from DSW: approximately $8

The bows have gold polka dots on them. I died when I saw these babies. And the best part, it was an additional 75% off the marked down price which brought it down to $8.

Chevron Pattern Multi-Colored Flats-- Brand: Missoni from Target: $6.98

These are kids shoes in a size 3 that I happen to fit in. It fits a little snug and a bit uncomfortable at times, but for the price and how adorable they are it's worth the pain!

Total for all including tax-- approximately $26. Shibby!


When shopping for shoes dooo look at the clearance section! That is my go to section everytime, I skip the nonsense regular and sale price items and head straight to clearance. You will find amazingly cheap and gorgeous shoes-- not every time but you'll be surprised sometimes. Bargain shopping surely pays off because you won't feel guilty for spending nearly nothing. Ladies, the cheaper the shoes the more you can buy and in the end you will jump up and down with great joy because you bought cute shoes for dirt cheap!

Where are your favorite places to shop for shoes? :)

Just Some Random Thoughts Of The Day

I love to ramble and I'm extremely random sometimes, err a lot of the times but that's okay because I like it that way. Keeps things interesting, definitely. :)

So, I bought this nail polish by Revlon a couple weeks ago called Minted number 85 for about $3 after a $1 off coupon. Score. It's such a lovely mint color and I'm excited to see what it'll look like on my toesies!

I'll be sure to post a photo when I finally decide to repaint my toesies this color. Right now it's a very pale pink color which I'm having a hard time getting rid of since I'm still obsessed with the color.

Also, I'm thinking about doing a DIY on a chain headpiece like this that I found on Instagram. It is beautiful and I want to make it! What do you think about it? I love the Grecian feel of this headpiece. So elegant.

And another topic, today is my husband's 23 birthday. He's getting so olddd! My Oldie McFart Fart. Baha! I made us an extremely delicious dinner: lemon baked salmon, garlic sprinkled potato wedges, and steamed veggies-- ANDD a huge piece of snickers chocolate cake for dessert! Oh yes! I feel like I need this fruit salad full of green grapes, strawberries and bananas I had a couple weeks ago after eating that huge chunk of cake. Haha.

There's still a lot of cake left in the fridge so I will most likely continue to devour in it's chocolaty goodness until it's gone. Until then, I suppose this fruit salad can wait. Haha. I'm so bad.

Lastly, but of course I can go on and on, I decided to make a Facebook page for my blog, Classy Peach. Go take a looky if you are on Facebook! You can click on my link or look to the right and see my Facebook social plugin. I would love your support and it's just another way you can keep updated with my blog posts.

Okay, enough of my jibber jabber! I hope everyone had a marvelous day! :)

Lovely Tutorial: Scallop Denim Shorts

Scallops are beyond adorable to me because it's very feminine and sweet. I've been obsessed with denim shorts lately since it's dreadfully hot in the south therefore I made scallop denim shorts. :)

So easy and cute!

Here are the simple steps to make them.

Take a pair of old denim shorts you don't wear anymore.

Make the cut with a pair of scissors. Leave enough length so you can cut the scallops without them turning out too short.

Take a piece of computer paper and fold it in half. Draw one perfect scallop, then fold and cut, fold and cut until you get as many scallops you need to go across your shorts.

Tape the scallop pattern to the bottom of your shorts and start cutting.

That's it! You can apply fray check to the bottom to prevent fraying, but I don't mind if it does so I didn't apply any myself. As simple as that you can have cute scallop denim shorts. Fun fun fun!

Striped loose sweater, cowboy boots, and turquoise chandelier earrings completed this look.

The south has got me loving denim shorts and cowboy boots. :)

Lovely Tutorial: Destroyed Cuffed Denim Shorts & Lace Pockets

I've been lahvinggggg the lace pocket trend as of late. Like I've mentioned in my 'yours truly' I'm seriously 'lace crazed' without a doubt-- no questions asked. For this look it adds a certain flair to a pair of destroyed cuffed denim shorts. Sooo fun!

I didn't have a pair of shorts I wanted to work with therefore I took an old pair of jeans I didn't wear anymore and turned them into destroyed cuffed denim shorts. Believe me, it is super easy and error free no matter how you cut them! I'll start out by showing you the process of making the denim shorts.

These are the supplies you'll need: pair of scissors-- preferably a dull one if you have one on hand because it'll give the shorts the destroyed look, razor, pins, needle and thread. You don't even need a sewing machine for this! Awesome, eh?!

Find a pair of old jeans you don't wear anymore. I've had these for years and they were just stuffed away in my closet. Side note, the jeans look a lot darker than it actually is because I cut these last night and didn't have natural lighting when I took the photos. The jeans are actually a blue color.

Be sure to have a surface you can cut on-- I used a cardboard poster board from the Dollar Tree. Take your razor and start cutting low enough to where you can cuff the shorts. We don't want to end up with super short shorts, ladies. ;) I prefer using a razor because it'll give the shorts the destroyed look with the frays and fringes. After cutting the front and back take your scissors and cut the two sides of the seam the razor didn't cut through and cuff them. If you just want the cut off look don't cuff them. Simple as that.

The destroyed process is pretty simple as well and optional of course. Take your razor and slice horizontally-- you'll have to go over the same area and slice a couple times before you can make a cut but this will enhance the destroyed effect. Then start slicing vertically on the same destroyed area. After you're done pull at the raw edges on the cuts and the cuff to complete the destroyed look.

The results:

Now... you can stop there if you love the way the destroyed cuffed shorts look on you. I decided to sew lace on the back pockets to give it a cute alternative flair.

Find a lace pattern you really like and cut it into the shape of the back pockets. I left about a centimeter on the edges so I can fold it under to give it a clean and non-fraying edge. Take your pins and pin the lace down like so. It doesn't have to look perfect because when you sew you can hold the lace down and fix it as you go.

Take your needle and thread and start sewing. You don't have to be a professional sewer to do this because you can't see the thread on the lace-- so I didn't worry too much about sewing in a straight line either. I did the best I could to keep it straight though. Sew all around the pocket.

And taa-daaa the results:

I wore a fuschia silk pleated tank top and a cognac belt with these shorts. I love the casual chic feel of this outfit. So phenomenal! :)

Lovely Tutorial: Lace Flutter Sleeve Top

Lace has got to be my most favorite fabric (and one of the best in my opinion) to sew with. You can't mess up since the fabric folds so easily and resists scrunching up from my experience although it looks as though it's a hard type of fabric to sew, it's really not. So, for this design I used the fabric from the remainder of the lace maxi dress I previously made-- err curtain to be exact. I LOVE loose fitting tops as you can tell, I've made several in my last couple of posts. There's something about lace that even the simplest of tops turn out elegant and pretty. I decided to make a lace flutter sleeve top to enhance the flow of the loose fit to add to the existing elegance. This was one of the easiest tops I've made thus far and it's definitely one of my favorites.

All you need to do is cut out the pattern for the neckline after folding the fabric in half like so:

Cut a piece for the front and for the back. Open up the fabric and start hemming up the edges by folding it in twice. After the front and back piece are hemmed around all of the edges sew the two pieces together at the shoulder. This will be the result-- it looks like a big rectangle with a hole in the middle.

For the sleeves I sewed together the front and back only about 3 inches up from the bottom of the shirt.

Anddd then you're done! This is what the top looks like flat on the ground, but when you wear it it looks like flutter sleeves because of the loose square fit.

I put this baby on with a white tube top underneath, a pair of mint pants of course since I can't ever get enough of colored pants, and gold chandelier earrings.

Easy peasy, right? I imagine myself frolicking through a field of grass in this top. It's so dreamy and whimsical. Haha. :)
