Midweek Menagerie 7/8

July 8th, 2009

ONE

I’m sure most have you have seen this great gradient fade tights tutorial, but I keep stumbling to it!  I feel like it is following me around the internet, begging me to create some beautiful tights and probably ruin my carpet.  After I move and actually have a backyard I may try this out, but for now I just have to drool.  Anyone tried this?

TWO

From last week’s post you should now know that I love shoes with wings, hehe, so when Ranna at Only Shallow posted these heels by Minna Parikka I just about had a cute attack.  So amazing!  I might have to save up my lunch money and do some research and get these someday (I don’t believe they’re released yet).  Oh dear.

THREE

I love staring at my lovely, decades old Schwinn Hollywood bike, but that is usually where it ends.  To be honest, I have only rode it twice.  Besides the fact that the town I reside in is covered in hills (I can’t even bike to school, a mile away, because it’s just one big hill), my little Hollywood may have lived the end of its usable years.  Every peddle takes all of my energy.  So… I’m looking into buying a new bike, and there are so many cute ones out there!  My current #1 choice is this Nirve bike above, but there are so many I’m in love with!

FOUR

Drawing with light has been done.  I love it and think it looks neat and all, but it’s been done.  But… PICASSO can make anything look fresh, and when he drew with light, magic happened.  This series of photos taken for LIFE magazine in 1949 are super inspirational and neat and fun.  :) .

FIVE

More shoes, I know, but I had the most amazing run at Goodwill yesterday!  I found these wondrous old etienne aigner loafers and was instantly smitten.  I looked at the size and it was a 9.5 (I’m an 8.5) :-/.  I tried them on anyway and they actually fit!  One might even say they are slightly too small, but I am working on stretching them out :) .  They didn’t have a price on them, so I took them up and she said “is $1.99 okay?” and I said “YES” because all of the other loafers I was looking at were $5 or $6 and not nearly as amazing as these.  So… yay for shoe finds!

SIX

I love doing fun little things with my camera, so this idea was really exciting for me!  I can’t wait to try this out and make everything look like it is full of love, heh.

Hope you’re having a good week!
