FLOWER GIRL DIY
January 29th, 2010 - 68 Comments »
So when I’m stressed out and frustrated, I make stuff. As some of you may have noticed on twitter, I’ve been trying to install the google friend connect and twitter plugins into my wordpress, but with little success. After peppering the twitter community with my umpteen posts about how I f*cking hate code, I decided I’d channel my energy elsewhere. I’ve wanted to make a floral headband for ages now. I think it’s so ethereal and pretty. I was talking to Sophia from Phosphene Fashion about what DIY’s I had planned, and I started thinking: I should really start doing more of them! I’m one of those people that write all my wacky ideas down–that’s why I buy Moleskin books in bulk. Anyhoo, so yeah, more ‘real’ DIY’s coming your way.
Oh and I’ve never actually worn these ‘Goody Two Shoes’ platforms since I bought them in Brooklyn in September. They are a wee too big in the ankle strap so gotta get ‘em fixed. I’m still very giddy whenever I look at these. They are super tall and are the most beautiful caramel/tan color. The wonderful man that sold them to me told me that all the girls in the 70’s wore them and he despised it because he was too short to pick them up. Funny story: when I showed my Mom what I got in New York she told me that she had the identical pair (same color, same size) when she was my age. Fashion REALLY is cyclical people!
If you are curious, I bought two small bouquets of fake flowers from the dollar store, took the heads off and sewed them together at the base. I’ll spare you guys any closeups because the workmanship is shotty (hey I was MAD) and it is after all just a ring of petals.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!!!!
P.S. if you DO see the google connect, PLEASE follow and make all my furious work worth it. Mwah!
