... vintage flower crown inspirations ...

 Last week Ellis went with her best friend Hannah

to Beverly Hills 

for a Bhldn event at the Anthropologie store...

{you can see Ellis's  BEAUTIFUL post HERE...
and Hannah's BEAUTIFUL post post HERE...}

So...

 finding the perfect accessory was a necessity...

Ellis has been interested in flower crowns lately...

so I had the perfect piece for her!

A flower crown from my line from years ago.

Pulling this beautiful piece out...

had me reminiscing about my original accessory line...

which now falls under the realm of vintage...

(taking off 20 years to raise a family will do that ...  but I'd make the same choice again...
in a heart beat)

This particular crown...

  was published in several editorials over 20 years ago...

and now was the perfect piece for my daughter to wear to the Beverly Hills event.

But another  sweet part of this 

 vintage/fashion/family story...

all of the elements in the flower crown...

are pieces given to me by Jeff's Grandmother...

who had worked at

the millinery department in Saks Fifth Avenue in NYC

during her youth.

This flower crown is the epitome...

of a fashion piece with a soul...

so..

Ellis wearing it so very beautifully to the event...

made my heart so very happy. 

 Ellis is no stranger to floral crowns or headbands...

When I shuttered my business to raise my 3...

I poured much of my creativity into dressing my most beloved daughter..

 .... well at least as long as she let me :)

This week we are both interested in our own versions of

flower crowns.
I have a beautiful pinterest board here.

 Yesterday was spent in a quest for supplies...

for some new 

flower crowns....

which means fun times  with my girl in the studio today!

as always my friends

I wish you love and joy

as you style your life
