DIY Flowers And Pearls Headbands

First day of Spring! This is yet! What better way to mark this moment than with a simple, yet beautiful and versatile flowery headband which can be worn I a multitude of occasions by both young girls and women alike! Even if you’re not the headband type, scroll down and look at the pictures, maybe some idea will pop up and you can find the right accessory inspiration for you!

I was commissioned by my sweet daughter to make a handful of headbands for her dance class girls (and for her, biensur) so I happily squeezed some time between the green peas and the chocolate & raisins baguettes to plug in the glue gun and roll some tulle flowers!

Jason Bateman IWC Portofino Watch As Seen In The Longest Week

A slow, yet charming movie to begin the week with? Why, yes please! Peter Glanz wrote and directed The Longest Week, a movie you might’ve seen at the end of 2014 upon its theatrical release. What caught my fashion eye in this movie?

It’s a movie that relies heavily on the visual enchantment more that it does on its script. With costumes designed by Heidi Bivens, the fashion approach is dreamy, retro with a modern flavor and it will definitely remind you of Sofia Coppola or Wes Anderson’s movies! However, to break the too-sweet air of this romantic movie, I’ll be talking about the watch worn by Jason Bateman as Conrad Valmont in The Longest Week!

DIY Burberry Fall Winter 2015 Pompom Bracelets For Less

Another day, another fashion show, another inspiration for a fun Do-It-Yourself fashion project! The Fall Winter 2015 2016 season sent beautiful designs on the catwalk but the moment I laid eyes on the Burberry fashion show, I knew I wanted those Pom-Pom bracelets!

Don’t you? I made a note to buy some supplies at the nearest craft store as soon as possible and moved on. Until today when I realized I may bypass the craft store entirely and use something I already have: an old burgundy scarf with a texture identical to the pom-poms! Hurray! Let’s get to DIY business!
