D-I-M: Did It Myself

As promised, I tried out sticking a feather onto a hairband and it really isn't that hard. Found a pretty pheasant feather and colour matched it to a skinny gold hair band - and voila, instant fabulous-ness. Anyway I am rushing off for my boyfriend's cousin's birthday party and then I've to slog on an art piece for school. So....go try this out and post pictures!

Two days to the weekend!

Hair-bands Not Head-bands

After reading Shing's last post, I was very tempted to write you my own list of things that I dislike, but I have decided to instead share something with you that I have recently taken a liking to. (But for the record my most hated statement, not trend, is cleavage/eyeliner/false eyelashes overload)

My younger sister recently had the mgs version of prom, aka founders day and her friend (hi megan) sported a fabulous feather headpiece, which is basically a pretty feather stuck onto a hair band. The last hairband rage I remember were the jewel embellished hair bands a couple of seasons ago. However the latest hair wear are now head chains and head bands, which frankly, not everyone can pull off.

But you don't have to pull all your hair back to wear the hair band fabulously which means that this is for everyone.

Then in August's Mischa-adorned Nylon, I found the perfect site that sells these gorgeous things for quite a reasonable rate. This is my favourite:

If you're not willing to fork out 48 usd + shipping for this, then I'm sure a DIY job is in place. I will try this out and let you guys know how it goes. In the meantime, one more day and I will see you cool kidz at Singfest.

the thing with headbands

I've been seeing pictures of celebrities and people wearing headbands around town. I can't say I've bought on to the trend, but this picture of Ashley Olsen has sparked my curiousity in headbands. I've tried a few before and actually I don't think I'd do too well in this look, but I have to say that for the above picture, Ashley looks so chic in an biker-meets-hippie sort of way.

Even though I may never be suited for this look (because of my face shape), that does not stop me from searching for nice options to try. I found these from Forever21.com. I think this piece is the most similar to Ashley's.

These are great alternative options.



They cost less than 4USD a piece so it's really inexpensive and it may just work for you
