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.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

–noun

a person who designs, makes, or sells hats for women.

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.

Kim Brown-Dye:

All of my hatties are a theatrical in nature, a bit bold & a whole lot of fun! I build each one from scratch using buckram & wire construction which is then covered & trimmed using the finest materials & hand finishing.

OLDE school all the way & custom made to fit you!

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.

I have been eyeing Mikiye forever on Etsy. I love her diversity in her creations and the pop of color she brings. I am such a huge fan of the skeleton feather. What a fun night, party spark. It could be your Goth girl, Pinup girl or Halloween wedding look. Pull out your inner dark girl and run.

Check out our Bliss inspired looks below to pair with Mikiye’s creations.

About Mikiye:

I guess I can say I’m lucky since it seems all the women in my family have been very creative. My Great Grandmother was very much into craft making and as long as I can remember my Grandmother was making something. When I was young I spent most of my spare time drawing, painting, or trying to make something with Playdo!

I was written up in W Magazine and featured in magazines like Essence, Teen People and Shape. My accessories also made appearances on the popular television shows: The O.C. and The Simple Life. Some of my celebrity clients include Rock Star Kimberly Cole, Kelly Osbourne, Paris Hilton, Lacey Chabert and Shaun Robinson to name a few.

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.

If you haven’t noticed yet, headbands are all the rage right now. So why not have one of a kind and made by hand just for you. They are easy to wear and for the most simple style you can make it look sassy in one-second flat. When my pony is not cutting it I throw headband in and off I go. You can find Be Something New on Etsy and you have to check out their large assortment of headbands not just for “bridal” as I have featured here.

Check out the Bliss looks below, we have chosen to go with the bands. Whatever you do, have fun with your look.

Magnolia with beading

Soft and elegant are the words I find when I look at Florica’s creation. It’s so perfectly tailored to fit your beautiful face. I can think of so many styles this accessory could go with. But, it would defiantly be the highlight for your occasion style.

Check out Florica on Etsy she is a master at work.
