Spiked Hobo Goodness
Ordered a pack of spike studs from aliexpress.com eons ago cause it was so cheap and decided I shall stud everything and anything I own ! But shipping took almost a month and by the time it had arrived, all the excitement and determination I had to be all productive had waned. You would think that maybe the time it took to get here would heighten my anticipation but no. All that waiting only drained my creative juices and foiled my plans. GAH !

So anyways... fast forward a few months of the studs just idling away, collecting dust and you have this:

(It's raining spikes !)

Spillage all over the floor from trying to get it open. Picture taken after I had painstakingly picked them up from all over my room; under my bed, my vanity etc. My sister says that it's like watching an ape trying to do stuff. I obviously disagree. I blame it on the (not really) lousy packaging. :D

I've been dying for a spiked drawstring hobo bag, in black of course, but can't seem to find it anywhere despite the current trend of studded everything which is sooooo annoying. I don't like it when stuff I like is in trend. It means that everywhere you turn, some idiot is looking like you. But it has it's perks I guess... it's easier to find the stuff I like now and I don't have to diy everything. (Reminder to self: Look on the bright side, m'dear, LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE !!!) Grr...

Anyways. Like I said... studded bags, shoes, clothes, EVERYTHING is abundant. However, the spiked bags I've seen are all very structured. Woohoo, let's toughen the look of a already tough looking bag by adding studs. Awesome ! Not. Tres boring and unimaginative. I prefer something different. Juxtaposing different elements, mixing softer looks with harder ones... like adding spikes to a slouchy soft drawstring hobo bag for example :D And since it can't be found, it is time for some DIY !

And I present to you, my newest bag...

Before:
(Bought from Bugis Street for $20.)

And after !

GWAHAAHA. I bet you're wondering where the fuck the spikes are right!?



There you go ! Lol.

I added just 6 spikes and realised that it made the bag look untidy and if I add more it'd probably just look like a big mess. And not the good kind. So I stopped. I think it's cause there's already quite a bit going on with all the gold accents. And especially since the spikes are silver, it clashes with the gold and further accentuates the messiness. Maybe if I had gold spikes ? Maybe it could look like a hot mess then...

But noooooooooo !
I want it in silver ! And I'm not budging. I know what I want and it has to be perfect.

I NEED TO GET A NEW BAG !!! (WITH NO GOLD ON IT WHATSOEVER !!!!!!!) Then I can stud it with spiiiikes. Then I can haz spiked slouchy hobo goodness !

Speaking of spikes...

( Omfg, HOTNESS ! )
