Joie linen top, old skirt (i love this one too), Zara heels, H&M bag (sim here), daisy flower crown made by me

Sometimes you just need a happy daisy flower crown to perk up an otherwise perfectly work appropriate ensemble ♥♥

Happy Hump Day!

Some snapshots from my weekend in L.A. for the Lucky Fabb conference! A floral crown and dyed pink hair tips were my look for the weekend. I made the floral crown specifically for the trip, inspired partly by miss Lana Del Rey and an extension of my signature flower headband look from 2 years ago. It seemed just so perfect for a spring fashion weekend spent in bohemian L.A. I so love any kind of hair accessory (remember these?). I dyed my hair (washes out) with this – it works better on true blond hair but I liked the subtle, pastel effect I got with my blondish balayaged tips.

Fun for the weekend included Saturday pool and beach time with gal pals Krystal and Natalie, a Sunday blogger brunch (aren’t we all so cute?!) at the Viceroy where we stayed, dinner at the awesomely delicious ‘pop up’ restaurant  Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing on Abbot Kinney in Venice (where we sat next to the insanely good-looking Ian Somerhalder which was exciting to me only because I am a huge Lost fan), playing L.A. dress-up for a cocktail party at the Kelly Wearstler boutique on Melrose, and a trip complete with outfit pics to Opening Ceremony. More pictures from the actual conference coming tomorrow and I promise I don’t wear another maxi dress, ha. The floral crown, however, does make a repeat appearance.

in DIY, fashion, what i wore

sweater: H&M (similar here), skirt: *DIY (similar here), shoes: Seychelles, necklaces: vintage, Stella & Dot, J Crew (see similar styles here and here), nail polish: Butter London ‘The Black Knight’

You read that that right – I actually “made” this feathered skirt. I took a simple black mini skirt and sewed in an underskirt to the waistband with a layer of lace and feather trim and voilà! Fun feather skirt! I have to say I recently wore to to a festive holiday brunch and it was a total hit. It’s mighty fun to wear too!
