Jeweled Hair

April 16th, 2012

Anthropologie Hairband, Kelly Wearstler Coat, Maurie & Eve Bodysuit, Zara Skirt, Vintage Bag, Miu Miu Heels

I love when a few details – like a jeweled headband, a striped lining, and the ruching on a skirt, can make a black and white outfit seem intricate and new. I’ve been wearing headbands like this for years, but after Charlize Theron wore this to the Golden Globes, I’ve been experimenting with different hairstyles, since I usually just wear my hair down. I’ve found that a bun at the nape of my neck with a bit of extra height up top balances it out nicely.

    This is a really good look! Love those cream shoes! I wish I could tolerate headbands a little better!

    I love black and white outfits, but when there is an added accessory or sparkle, it adds so much with so little. Charlize Theron is a great style inspiration.
    I hope you’re enjoying your time on your honeymoon!

    There is nothing that a nude wedge can’t do. Paired with an hourglass silhouette, its impeccable and uber feminine. Love it!
