DIY: Animal Print Boots
It's finally my favorite season of the year; Boot season! Not that I put them away for the summer by any means, but its finally time to consider some new additions to my closet. But, before I go and try to eliminate anything, I like to entertain the idea of revamping them to be 'good-as-new'. I found this pair of chocolate brown leather boots I had picked up at a thrift store awhile ago but just never wore as much as I had anticipated. So, instead of tossing them to the wayside, I decided to give them a second chance and turn them into leopard printed boots.
To do this, you will need: Sandpaper or Scissors (anything to score the original surface of the boot), and a couple of permanent coloring options. I chose to use a black ink pen and a black Sharpie.
1. Take your scoring object (i used sandpaper and scissors) and begin to rough the surface of the boot to wear it down.
2. Take your marking tool and start to create your animal print design. I decided to go with a leopard print here.
3. After you have placed your design, go over the markings lightly with sand paper. This is to give the boot a more worn look so that the marker is not so defined.
4. After you have created a look you are satisfied with, you can touch up any detailing with the marking tools or sandpaper to smooth any rough areas.
5. When you are done, it may be a good idea to go over your work with any type of finishing or waterproof spray!

A few of our favorite things: LA
Sharing stories with new friends at the Banana Bungalow, West Hollywood
Understanding life's too short to be anything but yourself
Spending an hour picking out the perfect character hat during our day trip to Disney
LANA; traveling far distances to catch a once in a lifetime concert
An eerie Elvis Presley cover artist at Disney's Tomorrowland
Our trip to Los Angeles was short, but not a minute was wasted. The second we landed, we jumped on a shuttle and headed straight to Disneyland to spend the entire day in the park. Later, properly ending the night dancing in Downtown Disney's town square. We were also lucky enough to be in the audience of Lana Del Rey's first big US concert, the show exceeded our expectations, she is purely stunning. It's trips like these that make the biggest impact on us, the ones that make us feel alive.

"If you ever want to know where your ♡ is, look where your mind goes when it wanders."
Through travel and misdirection we have made discoveries that we have never deemed possible. We find it is important to let go of what is comfortable in order to make room for the unknown that is otherwise shut out. Sometimes not having a path leads us exactly where we need to be.

LA Nights, City Lights

(MinkPink Cheetah hi-lo crop top and BDG black denim)
(Vintage retro neon earrings)
After a shopping-filled day at the Fairfax Flea Market, we rushed back to our room to get ready for the Lana Del Rey concert. Miraculously, we managed to have some spare time and snapped a few photos of our streetstyle for the evening. We both decided to go with an edgier look with hints of feminity (for the girly side in us we can't avoid). Every night in LA is a runway show and we loved every minute of it.
