Girls Custom Birthday Party Hat

 Some people are just good gift givers and have really lucky friends. Custom made with yellow and green seersucker as a birthday party gift. "Mom's a prep" were my instructions. Huge pink buttons. Coming right up.

 I know I loved anything with my name on it as a kid. Hope Evelyn sweats her tiny top hat for years to come.

 

 

1.5" x tall x 2.5" wide.

Eat your heart out Marie Antoinette

For you this Valentines day my lovers: Every girl's true fantasy. A real life dress up party. Alice in Wonderland meets Marie Antoinette meets East Coast bad assery.

One day, I swear I will plan something in advance but until then, you can understand how my procrastination is not dire. I shit you not, we pulled off this shoot in one week. When you have so many bougie bitches on speed dial, this is just another Sunday afternoon... ;)

My first muse Tia Darling sporting, oh so naturally, this French blue Marie Antoinette inspired mini tricorn hat and a necklace she is too humble to tell you she made herself.

 

These pink champagne coupes are not a dream. They are real. And they our mine. Well, really their ours. Another Tia & Jas thrifting escapade find!

Are you sitting down?? Well GET UP because Nina in this mini hat and Jill Andrews Gown is already one of the best moments of 2013.

 A little authentic Victorian goggle action courtesy of House of Jill. 

Jill has the most awesome assortment of the finest, classical, ton notch vintage shit you've ever seen.

Like these vintage clothing labels from Baltimore designers and department stores. Lord have mercy. #gimme

 The hauntingly beautiful Erica Von Lindenberg who I am so unbelievably lucky lends me her head for my hats. 

 And of course me! Bougie bitch numero uno feeling all glam with that red silk hair flower and this A-MAZING collar made entirely of real rose petals!! Its true!!!

And the lady herself behind these DIVINE live rose petal collars. Amanda Veronee of Anthomanic. This girl is unstoppable. Her work is straight out of a dream with its weepy, sultry, romantic vibe.

These colorssss!!! Le sigh*

Paired with the turquoise skirt surrounded by a myriad of vintage busts. Dream within a dream.

And red heart balloons :)

Did I mention this all came together in a week like real life MAGIC?! The purple flowers, the deep plum gown, that wysteria top hat. <3 nbsp="" p="">

Yes, atop that pink and gold flawlessly ruffled cake sits a pink mini tricorn hat with a tiny bird, Sailboats, pink ostrich plumes and a teeeny tiny vintage crown for aforementioned tiny bird.

Nina, Tia, Jasika, Amanda & Erica

Girls Large Hair Flower Headbands

'The Darlings' has to be my mostttt favorite series by Vanity's Edge Design ever! Full of all the magic, sweetness and strong ladies Alana is known for capturing. So honored to be a part of it and stoked to see it in Model Life Magazine!!

My large hair flowers are becoming a little famous if I may say so myself.  ;) It could not look more perfect, more dreamy, more couture than it does on little Miss Emily Gray.

Wedding Mini Top Hat with Birdcage Veil

I felt like making a hat that was sexy and dramatic but subtle enough to be versatile. Computer screens do not do this shade of purple any justice. It has grey hues like wisteria. 

Gaspppp* The Jill Andrews Gowns studio

Honestly, photos dont do this shit justice either. Mantels and sunlight and soaring ceilings, couture and lace and feathers. And of course Jill, herself!  Ugh. Never ever want to leave.

I swear we didnt even plan my hat and Jill's stunning purple gown. Welcome to my world people. The gown is actually from The brand spankin new Jill Andrews Studio Line. Get fricken excited. Click the photo for more info.

The materials from this hat came from a nice little hoard per usual. The "ombre" peony. Ha. Back in school we use to call that monochromatic. But whatevs. I'll be hip. Grey goose feathers and grey French netting almost became a hundred different things before they found their home on this gal. 

Meow. Magic face: Erica Von Lindberg of A Second Glance Salon. 

Makeup by the gorgeous, wonderful Maureen Flynn of Tom Ford. "I want to make her lips look like she was sucking on a lollipop." Umm ok. Yes. Do THAT. 

Photography by the one, the only, Leah Miller. 

If you like this look and this crew... you must go into the past and check out our Day of The Dead photo shoot.
