Plie and pointe in spikes and studs

To say I am obsessed with this idea is a total understatement: ballet shoes and spikes. The studded ones above got me thinking, how about long spikes? It's like The Nutcracker on like...crack. Imagine the Rodarte louboutins from fall, but on a much cheaper everyday level. The  ones pictured above are from a new website i found (and now ADORE) called Bona Drag. It's a small cyber shop with handpicked pieces by unknown and small designers. It's basically like a sweet little paradise. There is also a blog too, which is a great read. I've added it under my favorite blogs on the right sidebar. I also found this adorable "pair of eyelashes" necklace that is literally too cute for words, $38. I had to buy it for Rachal for her month-now-belated birthday.

The shoes are only $48, however I decided I wanted to make my own because I thought they would look way better with spikes and maybe in camel. I found spikes for $3 on Ebay and ballet shoes for $15. What a deal!
