Flower and Feather Belt by Icing 101

Tracey Duncan — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:50:47 +0000

A lot of women are buying simpler dresses these days, and glamming them up with accessories. I am particularly fond of the belt trend, as it is slimming on a sheath gown, and adds a vintage flair that is sophisticated and elegant. This intricately designed belt would be an amazing addition to any gown.

Beautiful! I love the way the black flower sets off the sparkling rhinestones. This belt is also a good way to add black to your ensemble without going with the whole hog black wedding gown. Available for $45 from Icing 101.

Dreamy Green Hair Clips by Calexandra

I have a short bob. So, since I can’t put my hair up, I’m always looking for ways to embellish it. I love headbands, feathers, and bows, but I think flowers are also a sweet choice, and I really dig the muted color palette of these particular flower hair clips. Check them out:

They’re made of a delicate linen, and instead of coming off as just totally covered with crap, they have a single, sweet, simple Swarovski crystal in the center. The pale pink and green colors will work with a lot of the season’s nudes and neutrals. Plus, at ten bucks, the price is totally right. Available from Calexandra.

Subtle Flower Headbands at Anthropologie

Kelli DesRochers — Sat, 30 May 2009 03:02:09 +0000

If you love the flowery headbands that are being spotted everywhere this summer, but are not willing to take the plunge to wear an enormous Carrie-from-Sex-in-the-City bloom in your hair, then these subtle flower headbands at Anthropologie might be just the thing for you. These cute little poppies and pansies come in different colors and add just a tiny little burst of floral to a regular headband. These styles would look great on women of all ages.

Pert Poppies Headband in Coral $28

I absolutely love these delicate little linen flowers that sit on a black silk headband. They give an air of springtime freshness with very minimalistic style. The poppies also come in grey.

Pair of Pansies Headband in Dark Blue $18

These tiny little tulle flowers have a single pearl at the center and are on an elastic headband. The flowers lay flat, which creates even more of a subtle style. These would look wonderful with an updo and a summer dress. The pansies also come in ivory and peach.

Lauren Croteau — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 12:00:22 +0000

Sometimes it’s hard to find a dress hat that’s not over-the-top or overwhelming. If you’re looking for something a little calmer, try out this SS Cloche with Sequin Flowers from the Village Hat Shop. This charming cloche is completely made of sinamay straw, surrounded by a polyester hat band.

The crown measures about 4 inches in depth and the brim is around 3 inches in width. Along the right side of the hat are sequined flowers along with little glass beads. Additionally, there’s a satin sweatband with a drawstring to provide a comfortable and customized fit.

You can wear this hat just about anywhere this summer. If the blue is too light for you, you can also get the hat in black which is also quite nice. Order it online now for $32.

I stumbled across The Carrotbox not too long ago and had to share their site. It’s part blog, part shop & definitely worth checking out.

They have rings made out of vintage silk kimonos

vintage look accessories from Anthropologie

I just got my new email catalog from Anthropologie and thought some of their yummy jewelery fitted in perfectly with the last few posts.

They’ve got a gorgeous gold lotus ring:

An carved mother-of pearl ring that I am seriously lusting after:

And this charming “petite corsage” bracelet. I think this one would go fantastically well with the porcelain pins.

ideas for weddings

Chloe Findlay-Harder — Mon, 05 Mar 2007 20:28:50 +0000

I’m thrilled to be getting married this summer, and of course, wanted to do something a little different for my bridesmaids. Instead of going with the traditional “everyone in the same dress”, I asked my bridesmaids to choose their own dress patterns. Everyone will have the same fabric for the dresses and I found some gorgeous sheer printed organza to make shawls out of.

I wanted to share my floral brooches with my friends, and decided on this look:

Because I want to remain friends with my bridesmaids after my wedding, I felt it was better to give everyone as much choice as possible! So… we’re also going with this as well:

Chocolate brown dresses with blue or green shawls & cool-toned vintage porcelain pins. Unique & very feminine! Oh no, I still need to figure out the rest of the jewelery for my girls
