Prepified
March 17th, 2010
My little Spring trick for giving my very well-loved keds new life: leather laces. Instant prep.
Apparently I’m very foot-focused this week. So, in other news, my Warby Parker glasses arrived yesterday and the verdict is in: they are awesome. I highly recommend them. It took a little while for them to ship, but I know they were rather swamped from all the press they got, and once they did ship they were in my hands the very next day! They’re so affordable I might buy another pair. I would love for them to offer prescription sunglasses too.

Ah, Keds. A sure sign of spring! I just bought a new pair, but sadly Sweden is still a bit too cold for them. Soon…

Perfect! If you don’t mind, I think I’ll be doing this too this spring with a pair of Vans authentics.

This is a great idea, I might just have to do it myself! (Makes the Keds look like boat shoes!) Where can you get leather laces?

Diane, I got mine at the drug store, but they sell nicer pairs at most shoe repair shops! You could also just buy leather cord from a craft store.
