Spikes & Studs

Ever feel like spiking up your look?


A spike a day probably won't keep the doctor away .. especially in my case as I'm so damn accident prone, but a few well placed spikes or studs will certainly add some sparkle to your outfit.  Albeit a slightly dangerous sparkle.


Accessories are a great way to wear spikes without looking like your about to run off and join a punk band.   However you choose to wear spikes, you can be sure that no one will mess with you!








Adorning shoes is probably my favourite use of spikes.









SPIKES IN ACTION






DO IT YOURSELF

There's no reason why you can't spike out on your own.  All you need are a few basic tools, some inspiration and you can create your very own lethal fashion statements.

Where to buy spikes?  A quick google search will provide numerous options, however studsandspikes.com have an enormous range and ship to Australia.  There is also a good store on ETSY and if you click the image to the left, it will take you straight there.





What to spike?  That is the questions.  The options are limitless.  Why not practice with accessories and simple items first, such as a clutch.  This Marquise clutch by Christian Louboutin below, is a great source of inspiration and could easily be replicated.  





My only advice is to be selective with what you spike.  We don't want a repeat of what happened with the BeDazzler in the 80's.  If you don't know about, or want to see the terrorizing horror caused by the Bedazzler, click here
