For the last couple of months, I have been on the look out for a new pair of winter boots. I wanted something with a heel, leather, tall and fantastic. I had noticed that a lot of the boots I was drawn to were adorned with what I like to call boot bling. So I added boot bling to my new boot criteria. As with most of my "i know exactly what I want" shopping trips, I failed to find what I was looking for at a price I could justify. Then one afternoon, standing in the middle of Selfridges Shoe department in London, surrounded by Gucci, prada and Miu Miu, I had an epiphany. Why don't I buy the boots I can afford, then modify them by adding some bling myself? That day I bought some wicked boots, took them home and put them on, then booted up my computer and began my search. What I was looking for were boot straps. Still don't know what they were originally for, but I love them! I mean come on, if I live in Nashville I should take advantage of the cowboy gear at some point.
Step One: Buy some kick ass boots.
Step Two: Find some boot straps. I bought mine from a Nashville shop called Mr. Tips. Mine were $30.
Step Three: Put your boot straps on your boots.
Tip: The boot straps come with a chain that goes under your boot. I removed this, because the chains were kinda heavy and loud when I walked.
Step Four: Try them on all your boots. Have fun!!!
Step Five: Buy more boot straps. I am getting these next.
