Before and after labor of love 💕
This took months and lots and lots of hand stitching but I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Projects like this, and good punk rock, are the only things keeping me sane while I watch the world burn.

When Poshmark’s targeted advertising backfires. Yes, Poshmark, I shop for Dr Martens, but I’m probably not going to buy from myself. Not one but TWO pairs I have listed.
Nice try 🤣

I love how these custom color Bed Stu boots came out. What do you think?

These vintage Destroy boots are so badass with the metal heels. I keep trying, but I still can’t manage to walk in them without them throwing me off, so they’re gonna have to go to a better home. 😭
Size is 37/38 (US women’s 7-7.5) if someone out there is in love. Check my Depop for more pics and/or message me here for a better deal. 🖤

Don’t worry I haven’t changed teams entirely 😆
I found a pair of Frye engineer boots at Northern Thrift and they happened to be my size, so they got my wheels turning. There is something to be said about made in the USA quality. I went down a rabbit hole and picked up a few more pairs. The Deborah Deco (gray studded boots) are a size 8 and a wee bit too big, so they’re for sale. The purple Carson boots are probably going to be listed for sale too because they’re a pretty color but I can’t keep them all. I have a couple more pairs too that need a little love before they’re photographed. My Docs will always be my first love, but I t’s been really fun to explore more brands.
