PIMP YOUR SHOES!

Hi guys,
So a friend of mine fade happened to be wearing these cute shoes that were missing the chain accessory   that came with the shoes, she told me she was out and someone stepped on her and the chain broke, so she took both out and has been wearing them like that ever since. I came up with the brilliant idea to customize the shoes and replace the missing chain with stones. We decided to use fresh water pearls with gold links.... It turned out really beautiful, and it was just like she had a new pair of shoes! Here is what it looks like...

....So guys if you have things you'd like to pimp out please bring it over to the Ariaba store @ 32 Musa Yaradua street, Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria, and we'll hook u up with your very own customized piece. You can email ariabalifestyle@gmail.com for any further enquiries, and we'll get back to you asap, or leave us a message on the blog. Thanks. xoxo
