Hair Adornment of  the Week

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

oooohhhh la la Velvet Owl!  What a magnificent creation and such a modern twist on the bubble veil. I love it, especially with the flower comb that creates such a beautiful contrast and a secondary option for later when the veil may come off.  The Bubble veil is a favorite because to me is feels like and extension to your hair and adds such beautiful height.   Be interchangeable and have two different looks for your ceremony to reception, this will give you the option.

Get  Your  Prom  On!

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

This week we are going to dedicate to prom.  It’s the season and everyone should be gearing up for the dress find, then the accessories, the right shoes and what the heck to do with your hair.  So we are going to play match the dress with accessories and hair.  A fun little inspiration palette to get your game on and look your best on prom day.

Everyone has their own individual style and it should shine on events like these.  Face it girls these are the days we have to look forward to,  looking beautiful and showing off the best.  So show your style in your dress choice, hair and accessories.

The shoulder are out,  so by wearing your hair up you will look stunning.  But you can definantly have a down do with this dress.  I would suggest making it a more dressy style than casual,  because the dress is so red carpet.  The picture shows a short style that is more of a sleek look which does look good.  You can either go with a curly or sleek style with this choice of dress.  But big and bold says it all with accessories and hair.

Click on the picture and they will take you directly to the accessory and dress.

Hair Bows Wonderworld on Etsy is a world full of fantasy, from the not so everyday bouquets to her trendy boutonnieres. Not to forget her unforgettable hair accessories, that’s why we are here.

Check out the boutonnieres I posted below. I think they would substitute as hair accessories perfectly.  Don’t ever be afraid to take something, use it differently than its purpose and make it new.  Many times we have made broaches into hairpins and bouquet fillers in to hair accessories.  Use your imagination and make it happen, that is where your individuality will take place.

The boutonnieres could be used for a smaller scaled bride and less is more.  Simple and just a little pop.

Don’t forget to check out the Bliss styles suggested for the accessories.  Happy inspiration!

Its like no other birdcage. Its special, polka dot, 1950s flair brings me running with excitement. Whether you are planning a vintage wedding or not,  you can bring a little throw back old school into your event. It would work fabulously in a boudoir photo shoot.  How about, wearing a birdcage just because.  There should be a special day for that…Friday are girls want to look pretty and wear their birdcage to work day :-) .

Check out LoBoheme wearable confection on Etsy and our previous post featuring some of our favorites, with styles to match.

Topsy Turvy Design’s costume accessories for stage, film & play.  I’m not going to lie I want to wear these hat’s everyday!  You have to visit Topsy Turvy’s Etsy and look at the rest of her designs to appreciate her creativeness.  Kim Brown-Dye passion for creativeness and where she finds it inflames my own passion.  She looks to the tops of the buildings for details and in paper lanterns in china town to give her inspiration. These details and such creativeness allows her hats to pop with fun and her hair accessories to be detailed like no other.  Just because these are for play and film doesn’t mean you can’t incorporate them into everyday or your special day.  I have picked several to match with some Bliss looks.

Sunrise - Feather Headband

Sunrise - Feather Headband

Headbands are hot! Be feathered lovely with TessaKim’s Sunrise-Feather Headband. The color’s are so creamy and soft, I believe the headband can look elegant but also be more laid back.  Feathers themselves are beautiful and so artistically crafted on their own,  but when put together by designer like TessaKim they blend beautifully like highlighted hair.

ThreadRare caught my eye on Etsy when I came to their opening page where handpicked item’s are featured.  Out jumped one of her hand sewn flowers.  I love the versatility of these flowers because they can be worn with your casual outfit for fun, your wedding day, prom for pizazz and the little flower would be perfect for little girls & flower girls.  I think the flowers also caught my eye because the workmanship is such great quality.  My favorite is BALLET.

Check out the Bliss inspired looks below for some options to go with ThreadRare’s featured hair adornments.

ThreadRare:

I have a degree in textiles and clothing design and formerly owned a business designing custom bridal and special occasion gowns. Now that I stay home with my toddler son, I’m channeling my creative energy into designing accessories.

I still have a deep love for luxury fabrics which is why I make many pieces out of silk. Vintage has always had an appeal for me as well, and I incorporate elements of the past into my pieces as much as possible.
