Midweek Menagerie 6/24

June 24th, 2009

I think I’m going to start doing a weekly catchall post like I did last week.  There are so many fun things I want to talk about that I really can’t write a whole post about.  So… here are the things I want to talk about this week!

ONE

I am terribly excited to try out this tutorial posted at lovemaegan.com on how to create a braided belt from old jersey shirts.  I haven’t taken those five bags of clothes to Salvation Army yet, so I will have quite a few colors of jersey shirts to choose from :) .  It looks super chic and I love adding belts to jazz up an outfit.

TWO

How gorgeous are these shoes from Coppelia Pique?  I don’t think I could ever wear them, that heel looks deadly, but I’m quite taken with them!  I love how they lace up the back like a corset.  I can’t even imagine how much they cost, it looks like they are individually made to fit your foot.

THREE

I don’t imagine I would ever have a real *need* for these high waisted undies by TwinSyndrome but really… adorable.  I have been eying these since Winter and just cannot justify buying them.  My favorite color is the one above, but they have quite a few others to choose from!

FOUR

I might be out of the cupcake loop, but a friend recently posted a photo of cheeseburger cupcakes and I’m pretty sure I died of cute right then and there.  I did some googling and found a few variations, but this one is a white cupcake bun, chocolate cookie burger, squished starburst cheese, and buttercream ketchup and mustard.  I can’t wait to recreate these for a birthday party!

FIVE

After what feels like months of not checking out my favorite blogs, I finally went through A TON OF THEM yesterday to see what everyone has been up to.  I visited Tara-Lynn at Stay Fancy Free and went to her etsy shop, which is full of these amazingly cute knit ascots.  Things like this make me want Fall to come four months early (and it totally got me nostalgic for the knit bow ties I made last winter!).

I think this is all I have for you this week.  Hope your Wednesday is going well!



Things to look forward to: alphabet posts coming soon!

    Very pretty things. I’m with you on the highwaist undies–cool, but would I wear them?

    I like the lace heels.

    Those lace shoes are awesome but I would kill myself. And I consider myself fairly adept with heels, but yeah… not in those.
    I love that ascot! So cute.

    I love those shoes! So striking and delicate. The cheeseburger cupcakes are fun, too :)
