Ok... so headbands might not be in the sytlebook for this spring BUT! I just got a haircut and I can barely make a ponytail so... for the first time in my life (not including when I was a kid lol) I am going to wear a headband! Of course, I don't have any, so I turned my head to Etsy to see if I could find any I liked.
I am all for thin headbands that are not too obvious lol - no fascinators (at least not until I get used to wearing headbands).

Headbands and hair pins, the things I am gonna need most these days (and probably for a long time cause I love this new haircut lol)!

Sellers, left to right, top to bottom, are: branchaccessories, MGMart, dandyapple, TenThings, GaiaTroveChicago, adventuresofjr

So... any recommendations for me?
I might make my own headband of braided silk threads =)

This week: Raspberry Rose Bud Hair Pins by FriendlyBanter



Such lovely hair pins!!! =) Now I want ones too!

Artist's description of the pins:

Two petite rose buds on hair pins. Lovely to add to your hair. For a girl of any age!

Bright raspberry pink felt is formed into little buds with sweet bright green leaves. It is then sewn onto the pin. They measure 1.5 inches (4cm) across.

Everthing is meticulously hand sewn. I would never use glue.

This week I will talk about how to achieve Rihanna's look with handmade/vintage items I find in Etsy.
She has a distinctively sexy, yet sharp look. Her love of lush colours, luxe fabrics, short hemlines and high waists have earned her a real fashion following.
She loves really short shorts and skirts, fun colors and bold accessories.


And I think Rihanna would love these items, either for everyday wear, a Grammys event or a music video :)

Sellers, left to right, top to bottom, are (link to the item): FablesbyBarrie, cadillaccowboy, debbiesnoflake, GypsyLane, graziolin, orno, MinkaArt, KimBDesigns, MixologyMakeup, LaraMiller, emeraldvintage, hopee, emberlish, redzippervintage, valhallabrooklyn, santokivintage

So you can see her style is quite bold, she loves big hoop earrings and bangles, and anything that is short :D

About her hair, she has changed hair styles quite a lot lately, and I decided to show you a page where you can see all her styles and upload one of your photos to test that style on yourself! :) How cool, right?

And finally, makeup! I found two awesome videos, inspired in Rihanna's makeup for the music video of Take a bow. The makeup she wears on that video is pretty cool and can look great for a night out!






I hope you have liked this post. Is Rihanna's style your style? Will you incorporate some of these items to your wardrobe? I am already in love with big hoop earrings and bangles!! :)

Definitely she is one of the most classy actresses in Hollywood history. She has this unique style that fits her perfectly and that every woman would like to achieve once or twice ;) It never goes out of style because this style means finding the perfect clothes for your shape (basic lines and colors) and wearing them all your life! :)

As Hepburn herself said, "Women can look like Audrey Hepburn by flipping out their hair, buying the large glasses and the little sleeveless dresses."


First of all, usual Audrey clothes are:

1. For everyday: skinny black jeans, pastel polos, turtle-neck sweaters, ballerina flats.
2. Formal: simple knee-length black dress

Accessories: oversized sunglasses, white or black gloves for formal nights, leather bag with wooden handles and pearl or diamond necklace and/or earrings.

So let's see what I could find in Etsy that looks like Audrey clothes! :)



Sellers, from left to right, top to bottom, are (link to the item): myfavoritevintage, chechi72, myblackdress, thepebblecollection, setene, Hende, michon, VintageFallingLeaves, softspoken, Lecuteoure, flutter, mysweetiepiepie, kultlichnosti, forestofice, hydroxide, bellemichou

Now that we have the clothes + accessories... it's time for hair & makeup!!
For this I have found 2 awesome videos that explain step by step how to do the makeup and the hair.
Enjoy them!
