Do It Yourself Tuesdays: Christian Louboutin Petal Sandal

louboutin petals diy sandals

I get weak in the knees every time I see a celebrity sporting a pair of red soled shoes. And it’s not the infamous red bottoms that do it for me, it’s the fact that all Louboutins are beautiful, sexy, and so sophisticated that I literally dream about them. (And in my dreams, they are super comfy, too!) But in my dreams is where they are going to stay, unless some very rich person (Oprah, you listening!?) sends over a few pairs. At over $700 a pair, that’s my only chance.

But maybe not. While mindlessly perusing the interwebs last night I found this: a how-to for making your own version of the chic and beautiful Christian Louboutin Petal Sandal. All you need is an old pair of strappy black sandals (which we all have lying around) and a little delicate fabric and you are minutes away from your very own Louboutins.

Best part: the petals are totally removable so you can return to your regularly scheduled strappy sandal in seconds!

Just click here to learn how to do it, then get workin’. This is so easy you can be rocking these Fauxboutins by Boxed Wine Wednesday!

[A very special thanks from my wardrobe to you, Maegan, for teaching me how to do this!]

The CC Weekly Weigh In: Let’s Say Thanks

Like most families, mine gathers around the dinner table on Thanksgiving and (after making fun of each other for a few minutes) shares what they are most thankful for that year. Growing up, I hated this tradition; it was so cheesy and lame. But now that I’m an adult, going around the table at Thanksgiving allows me to tell my family how much I love them…
