Welcome to Catching Diadems!

This is not just a blog, but an escape into a world of risk, opportunities, and beauty. Also known as, fashion. Fashion is more than matching your shoes and belt. It's making something old, new again, and turning a few heads in the process. Whether that's wearing jeans and a t-shirt or overalls with a tutu. :) The choice is yours!

Sew Sweet is a collection of buttons, attached to a yellow band.
It's simple, yet noticeable. Perfect for Spring!

Fantastic Floral

Diadem Number Four: Fantastic Floral

The name really speaks for itself. This headband is fun,
outgoing, and in bloom! Made with a green band, checkered
green ribbon, and a bountiful bundle of petals.




Smiles and sunshine,

Betsey Johnson


          I love Betsey Johnson! Everything from the dresses to the jewelry is perfect for that special occasion, or even an everyday glamourous teenager. (As if everyday glamourous teenagers existed.) Their clothing is not only creative, but beautiful! Unfortunately, these amazing items, come with an amazingly high price. Don't lose hope just yet! When creating the website, Betsey Johnson thought of those who don't have never-ending-pockets, and created a wishlist! So if you love it, add it to you very own, personal wishlist, and pray that that one person you know (with the never-ending-pockets) will think of you! :) I'll be doing the same!

Smiles and sunshine,

Janie

Princess Blues

Why Catching Diadems? Well it all began with some free time and nothing to do. My diadems are headbands. I skillfully put them togther using only a hot glue gun and creativity. ;) Currently, I have only made a few, but as time progresses, hopefully, I'll have many more diadems to share!

Diadem Number One: Princess Blues
This headband is not only adorable, but looks great with anything.
The band itself is wrapped in a checkered blue ribbon, and topped with a bow.





Smiles and sunshine,

Janie

Miu Miu




My latest discovery: Miu Miu Shoes
Unlike other designer shoes, Miu Miu shoes are creative and unique! My favorite shoe (so far) is Duchesse Bouquet. We met as I was thumbing through my mom's Glamour magazine, and it was love at first sight. While the huge, thick heels may seem a little outrageous, the cute white and pink daisies balance it out. My thoughts: A little girl's shoe for the not-so-little-anymore girl! :)    


Smiles and sunshine,
