Check out these custom heels I created for BUST’s Feb/March ‘13 issue. All it took was a drill, spikes, and some paint to take these basic heels to the next level. Be sure to grab the issue, which also features a round-up of custom shoes you can buy if you aren’t the DIY type. I wear them with this dress because I love the sweetness of the dress paired with the bad-ass spikes. I bet these shoes would also look banging with the Wizard of Awesome dress from ModCloth.

dazzledbycarrie asked you: I bought black and white saddle shoes. I’ve worn them with a red dress and black tights and it looked really cute, but now I’m not sure what else to wear with them. Any suggestions? Hi there! I LOVE saddle shoes right now, and I think these will also be adorable in the spring time with pretty pastels! For right now, I think adding some edge to your looks would be really cool with some dark wash jeans, bright sweater, and cool accessories. I hope this helps! <3 Chelsey, ModStylist High-res
