I am so excited with my latest design...my new version of the emerging flower crown trend.
I wrote last week here ...
about a crown I designed years ago..
that was featured in WWD.
and
how my beautiful daughter wore this vintage piece to
a Bhldn event in Beverly Hills.
This got me thinking how much I enjoyed that special piece made with antique flowers...and how I would love to have
a modern version...
I wanted a flower crown that was age appropriate....
not wanting to give the impression I was reaching back to times gone by...
and
I wanted a piece that was in scale to my size and frame
and...
just as importantly...I wanted a piece I was excited to wear!
This floral crown is a statement headpiece to be sure..part headband...
part hat...
and the perfect finishing piece for an easy life style.
To do my hair...
all I had to do is comb it back smoothly...
place the 'crown' on
and twist and tuck my hair into the back of the crown
for a finished look.
Making this headpiece a perfect solve for quick summer hair.
Making it also a perfect go to piece...
after the pool or beach.
With such a statement headpiece...I was intent on pairing this beauty with some
simple pieces with clean lines
to achieve the balance of stylish Southern California ease
I was looking for.
I chose wide legged linen pants from Anthropologie
a drapey knit top by Rachel Zoe
and
to really ground the outfit...
I paired these with my Tory Burch blazer
and a flat gilded sandal...
and of course..,
my rattan antique bag...
that has become my summer evening staple.
I just love my new crown so much...I want to share just how easy it is to make your own...
so there is a
crown DIY here.
as always my friends
I wish you love and joy
as you style your life
