Weekend Reading

• Going on a summer vacation?  Cup of Jo gets it pretty perfect with what to pack.  I need a red cardigan in my life.  And that maxi-dress.  Oh boy.

• Speaking of getting away – I loved Becca’s round-up of Safari-inspired pieces.  (Dying to make one of those necklaces… it would be time consuming, but the results are incredible.)

• I cannot wait to make these slightly punky stud earrings – definitely one of the more creative projects I’ve seen in a while.

• How great are A Pair and a Spare’s DIY Feather Heels, pictured above?  Pretty much the perfect party shoes, if you ask me.

• I also adored In Honor of Design’s simple but chic envelope clutch / ipad case.  I love that she used such a pretty, sunny color.

• Last but not least on the DIY front, I thought that The Aesthate’s Malachite Box DIY was so clever and creative!  I want to make one for my vanity.

• Blog of Note:  I don’t know how I didn’t know about SwellMayde yet, but I instantly added her to my google reader – definitely one of my favorite (new to me) DIY blogs.
