LOOK. AT. THESE. MOTHERFUCKIN'. MAGNIFICENT. SKATES!!! 🛼💗🛼Srsly, LOOK AT THEM! My god, they are incredible. They have been over a year in the making, at least. From deciding boot style and figuring out options, to dealing with Riedell changing up the colorlab options without rhyme or reason (and there were still some last-minute changes I'm kinda meh about but oh well, what are you gonna do), to trying to figure out sizing, to re-designing color options like 3 times (WHY would anyone discontinue leopard print leather!?!?! EVERYTHING LEOPARD PRINT!)...and after all that, actually ordering these skates over the summer and then eagerly waiting and waiting. Sometimes people complain about how long skate stuff takes or shortages or whatever, but like...hello? pandemic? and also it could be worse. Also, these gorgeous beauties were done AHEAD of schedule! I wasn't expecting the call to pick them up but omfg am I THRILLED that they are here, they are mine, they fit like a dream and are absolute PERFECTION! I did buy some other toe stops for these but I'm still not sure if I want to swap out the stock or stick with it, also I still suck at trying to stop with my toe stops so why bother with a fancy one, right? Anyway, I am over the moon and cannot wait to take these babies out for a spin. A million, bajillion THANK YOUs to the wonderful team at Bruised Boutique for making my skate dreams come true and having the best damn sparkly floor, corgi-friendly shop in the land! I just wish y'all were a little closer but it's probably better for my wallet since I'd be there every day harassing y'all (plus, the corgis already think they own the place). 💗🛼💗 Boot: Custom Colorlab® Antik AR2 Plate: Avanti Magnesium Wheels: Moxi Fundae Split (all 4 colors per wheel) Bearings: Beagle Bearings Laces: Derby Spark 96" in silver Shop: Bruised Boutique Corgis: Machete & Knives #riedell #riedellrollerskates #quadskates #customskates #colorlab #rollerskates #rollerskate #rollergirl #moxirollerskates #fundaewheels #derbylaces #beaglebearings #rollerskating #corgi #BruisedBoutique #skateshop #IceCreamParlourSkates #corgiaddict #rollergirl #skatesetup #TortillaBlanketBackdrop (at Framingham, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU1V5W7sJbt/?utm_medium=tumblr
