To do, or not to do

In the beginning of the sales I bought this necklace from H&M with the intention to use it for a DIY project. I had some things in mind that would go perfectly with this necklace! But when I came home my mother told me to leave it like it is. It is indeed a pretty necklace. What shall I do? Paint it or not?

And then another problem:

My beloved high heels are getting worn-out. (Previously showed here and here)There are more and more little marks in front that are hard to hide. But I don't want to get rid of my favourite shoes! And besides that I've got them just one year now, and I haven't worn them that much.
A DIY-project is requisted here! I was thinking about some glitters? But the main problem is that the damages is in front and not just on the heel. What could I do about it?
Here are some inspirations:

Love, love, looooove these ones!

I don't remember the sources of the last pics. If you know, tell me please!

DIY overload

I just found an aaaaawesome blog, called a pair & a spare
It's filled with the best DIY's you've ever seen.
They make me want to start several, but I have to study unfortunately! Bad timing x)
Solution: saving as many as I can and planning a free day filled with DIY's, yay!

You betcha I'm gonna search for old non used ugly watches!

Some fake diamond jewellery painted white, awesome isn't it!

oh my gosh, these are just branches! I'm so gonna try this!
