I can't stop buying their shoes. They are so cute. And relatively inexpensive. I mean, HOW CUTE ARE THESE.
That was not a question. It was a statement. And yes, I already ordered them. They came yesterday. I love them muchly.
ModCloth will be the death of me
Turns out I'm not on crack
I CAN make Anthropologie-inspired jewelry. I used what I have here at the house, so it's not an exact match, but if I wanted to go out and buy some colored burlap or similar material I totally could have gotten closer. But I think they're pretty cute! And the middle parts are just normal earrings, so you can slide the fabric part off of the back and wear them alone. Yay.
For reference, here's my Anthro inspiration:
There's really no tutorial necessary... make tiny yo-yos and slide them behind a fancy pair of earrings and you're good to go!
I might be on crack
But here are some things that are at Anthro right now that I think I might be able to actually make:
Ribbon, some fake pearls and a couple of pre-made fancy applique patches. Ya think?
Some chunky beads, a chunky chain and some ribbon. Flat gold beads in between if I am so inclined.
I'm not so sure about this one. In theory it looks pretty easy... three strands, and you could connect them all with a cheapo F21 or Claire's brooch on the side. But I'm sure it's more difficult than I am making it out to be. Plus you'd need beads of matching colors but different shapes and sizes.
This would be crazy super-simple. A chain, some jump rings and some charms that you love. Easy-peasy. The hard part would be narrowing down the charms :) I'm envisioning an Alice necklace - a teapot, a clock, a key, a cake? Maybe a playing card or a flamingo? A heart? I even saw a large white rabbit pendant at Michael's the other day.
I'm definitely going to give these a shot this weekend. I think it's as simple as taking a pair of earrings you already have and sliding a ribbon rosette onto the post before you put your back on. It could make all kinds of earrings you already own look completely different! And I think the same goes for these:
So. I might try a couple of these this weekend and let you know how it goes. :)
Fellow Anthropologie Whores Are Awesome
A girl knew I was looking for this top, and she was returning it, so she e-mailed me to let me know that she was returning it to a certain NY Anthro store and that if I called them, they would ship it to me for free. SWEET. Of course, in my current gestational state, it might not exactly fit. But it will someday, and I love this top SO MUCH. I couldn't make myself pay full price for it, cause it was rather expensive, and by the time I tried to get it when it went on sale it was gone in my size. Whee!!! Only a fellow Anthro-obsessed girl would understand how exciting this is. My husband thought I was nuts as I'm checking e-mail and calling a store across the country as we were trying to buy groceries this morning, but... yay. :)
Double Markdown at Anthro! How could I pass this up?
You can look back at the blog and see that I've had my eye on this for quite some time... so you can hardly blame me for buying it on double markdown. $49.95 down to $9.95? What a steal!!
I want this.
Like, bad. I'd also like to be able to fit into it. My options are getting limited. It's really cheap on eBay right now so I think I might keep an eye on it. Maybe it can be a post-baby goal dress.
