Last spring, I was dying to create some sort of rosette headband or cloche type hat. I was very influenced by a vintage cap I bought and wore to a bridal tea.
In an unfortunate accident, I completely shredded the original, intact netted veil ( I know). But it dawned on me that it would make a cute headband that I could actually wear during the day without feeling costumey. Because realistically the only place I would feel I could get away with a hat is to an event that calls for creative styling.

So of course, I started seeing rosettes crop up everywhere, pardon the pun. And the trend doesn’t really seem to be dying down.
So I will definitely revisit the crafting project, but in the meantime, I am head over heels in love with these cute flower and feather pins/hair clips I found at a very cheap little boutique. The kind that sells really bad knock offs and probably lead based jewelry. But isn’t it cute?

And to fulfill the craving for rosette accessories, I bought this great hat on eBay.
