I realise everything comes down to personal taste but I love anything quirky and 'out there' so when I put my hair in an updo I put a flower in it. This could be something small and subtle at the front or overstated and large at the back to emphasise a chignon.
I recently bought some stock of magnolia flowers and they are BIG. Each flower actually measures 6 inches across but they look amazing in hair if you're brave enough. I've attached some photos below.

This white double flower clip is very Billie Holiday who was a true artist of her day and rose as a social phenomenon in the 1950s. Here's my interpretation of her style, I think I'll call it the 'Billie' flower clip. If anyone knew how to accessorise it's her.
I have been crocheting like mad, as mentioned in my last post, and here's the fruit (pardon the pun) of my labours: red cherry brooch. I've been wearing 2 with a blakc or red cardie, one on each shoulder. have to say it looks rather cute, but admitedly sounds a bit mad.
Lastly, I had dinner last week with some very dear friends, all them them very stylish and wonderful ladies. One of them had this amazing aliceband/fascinator covered in pearls. It was beautiful....so I set about making something for myself. I hope she doesn't mind! What do you think?
The magnolia fascinators and cherry brooches will be for sale on my etsy very shortly! http://www.vintagegardencrafts.etsy.com/
