flowers in her hair

since loulou loves you recently came out with a set of pretty floral headbands, i’ve been dying to get my hands on one! and while i know she would highly recommend that you go pick one up from her shop, my budget isn’t allowing me to do so at this moment. so i think i might have to go out and do the next best thing and do it myself! so i went back through my archives and plucked a few of my favorite images of girls with flowers in their hair as inspiration for a little project. all you’d need are a few supplies from a local craft shop: wire, florists tape, and an assortment of synthetic flowers. easier said than done, i know! so while i’m trying to turn thought into actions, i’ll admire these lovely photos.

  1. Great inspiration! Thank you so much for sharing. I'll try to do one for myself, perfect for spring-summer time :)

  2. I've always loved that image of anna karina. I'm in the same boat– I'd love one from lou lou loves you, but if only they could be a weeee more affordable.

  3. DIY project! Yay! Do you think you'll be using faux flowers like form Michaels? Or attempting to creat floral pom poms out of fabric??

  4. oh man, i'd love to see your take on a homemade flower band! i've been itching to try it out myself. someone's gotta come up with a wicked tutorial!

  5. definitely been planning a similar project for a few weeks (what is with the procrastination? do you have it, too?). will probably get on it this holiday wknd. i hope to see your results as i plan to post mine (new tumblr friend)!

  6. I wish I could make them cheaper! :)
    but definitely worth making yourself everyone, plus it's summer now so I can't wait to get some real flowers in my hair too!

  7. I love the floral headbands but that look isn't really for me. Can't wait to see what do you with it!!

  8. Flower headbands aside, that white lace dress on the top right is INCREDIBLE. If it's a maxi, all the better. Gorgeous.

  9. My mother made one of these for me when I came as a hippie for flashback day in elementary school! she was a hippie herself back in the day.

  10. I love these photos! I'd love to get my hands on some flower headbands or even attempt to make one myself but my weird sloping head rejects the notion entirely!

  11. Ha, I did the exact same thing yesterday after seeing Lou Lou's gorgeous headbands! I hope yours (and mine) turn out well, flowers in your hair is the prettiest, especially for summer!

  12. These are beautiful and I love it when you put your pictures up like this. How do you this. I would like to be able to do it with my pic's too. Please share your knowledge. Xxx

  13. Headbands are so easy to make. You should totally DIY that. Excited to see what you come up with!
