[REVIEW] Studsandspikes.com-various spikes and studs!

(banner not mine!)

So there's this amazing website called Studs and Spikes.  They have just about everything it seems!  A bunch of different styles of spikes and studs, as well as patches, badges, belts, wristbands and even kits to get you started!  Ohhhh, I love it so much.  I'm so in love, I've already ordered twice! 

So first, the shop. Studs and Spikes.  It's so well organized, and they have options for buying in bulk, as well as buying in smaller sizes.  There's a huge wealth of information, and they really know about their product.  I was super confident buying from them.  Their products have so many good reviews on both quality and shipping.  I couldn't be happier. They also accept paypal!  Made it all so much easier to buy.  I've recommended them to my friends, and I will keep buying from them.

Onto the product:

Here I have the:
Size 13 Silver Cone Spike
1" Silver Cone Spike
1" Thin Tree Spike
and the Standard English77 Silver Studs

I've been using the tree spikes to stud a phone case for my friend for Christmas (even though it's passed Christmas!).

It's coming along! Slowly but surely~  I just bought more spikes because I ran out!

I'm especially excited about the English77 studs.  They're to give a punk look circa '77.  Oh man, it's going to be great.  I found a Betsey Johnson denim jacket at a thrift store, and I want to pull off the sleeves to make it a vest and stud and spike and patch it!  I plan to do the same to another jacket for the same friend I'm doing the case for for her birthday!  We both have similar tastes, so I'm sure she'll love it.  I love girly looks, but I do love punk rock at the same time!

フワムー


This little cutie is a Fwamuu! It's a なでなで (petting) app for iPhone, and I love it so much.

It's my new favorite app, it's something that's super easy and not too involved, and it's kind of calming!  Really all you do is pet it!  You get points for however long you pet it, and you can use your points to buy cute little accessories (see the little brown bow!) and different backgrounds.  You can go to other people's houses and pet their pets and give them little treats.

I've named mine Bach, which is Welsh for "small".  My favorite app, and it's free.




They learn tricks, too! Cute little things.  One of them is "Banzai" and he raises his arms and goes WHEEEEE.  Though he doesn't actually say whee.

Those of you who celebrate, Happy Thanksgiving!  Enjoy your families and good food, I know I will!

Leather~

I've been all about my leather jacket lately.  Or I was when it was cool enough last week!  It's recently shot right back up into the 80s, forcing me to put my jacket back into the closet.  I'm waiting for it to get nice and cool again so I can wear it.




I like to pair it with my bow flats, or if I'm feeling a bit edgy, with a pair of my combat boots.  I feel so confident when I wear it.  Even though it gets cool, it's still hot in the sun, so I like to push the arms to the crook of my elbow.

The lining is so soft, the leather is like butter, and I love the smell of leather especially.

Ah, I've been posting so much.  Three days consecutively? Unheard of! Probably because I want to avoid writing this paper! I'm working on drafting posts, so I can post a little more regularly.  Need something to take my mind off of approaching exams!  Is the semester over yet? ㅠ.ㅠ

Please please please bring me cool weather!  I want to pull out my wool coat as well!

Yep. Shopping Problem.

My flat mate and I are horrible.  We get bored, instead of school work, we go shopping!

To The Races!

I went home this weekend.  Such a great break from preparing for exams and writing papers. The semester is almost over, I can't wait!  Anyway, when I went home, I splurged and bought the new 4S.  I love it so much. :3  Have yet to get a case for it, couldn't find one I liked in store, so I ordered a couple online.  Hopefully they come in the next couple of days.  I'm so paranoid about my phone.  Definitely don't have the money to fix it if it breaks!

My grandfather was in town, and as it always is when he's in town, we go eat somewhere posh.  We went to the kennel club to go bet on the dogs, and had lunch at the restaurant while we were there.  It was nice.  The tables were set with proper settings, and one wall was just windows so you could see the track. 

My mum and i pooled what cash we had on us ($11) and placed bets throughout lunch.

Those are our losing tickets! Boo!  We bet on seven races and we had a losing streak of four.  BUT we won our last three races.  It was fun.

Lunch was so good, too.  My mum ordered a lobster salad wrap, but I got a grilled grouper sandwich with fresh fruit on the side.


Lunch was so good.  I want to go there again!
