crushing on these....



These 5" beauties bring a whole new meaning to "crazy cat lady". The S/S 2010 Miu Miu collection is filled with these playful prints. I think I'm so in love. So far, I've only come across the clog version at Holt's. 
The "Sparrow" print, already completely sold out on net-a-porter.com... and already mass-replicated? The Nasty Gal's take: 

That was fast...

Featured on Ladylike.com!

Big thanks to Lady Patricia over at Lady Like for featuring my recent DIY headbands!

Check it out HERE :) 

Here's the step-by-step for a rainy day: 

Step 1: Measure the elastic around your head while leaving at least half a centimetre or so extra once you cut it, so that the head band isn't cutting circulation off anywhere...



Step 2: Sew both ends of the elastic securely and trim off any unfinished threads.  (Excuse the chipped nail polish)





Step 3: Take the zipper and remove the mini staple (if any). Un-zip it approximately 3/4's of the way down, and fold the opposite ends as pictured. 



Step 4: Once you have sewn the ends of the zipper down, sew the zipper piece onto the elastic wherever you please. I would suggest to sew the heart piece directly above where you sewed the elastic ends together to end up with a flawless, cheap&chic, headband.
