Holiday Fashion tips from LFPress.com

Old Fashioned Christmas Poinsettia Fascinator
Tips for wearing holiday fascinators from the LFPress.com:

"Hair styles are still being influenced by the royal wedding, says Nina Badr of NU Hair and Make Up Studio. “This season, accessories are very hot, especially fascinators with feathers and bits of mesh or tulle."

To make this look work for you, pull your locks up into a loose bun and add a fascinator in a bright colour. “Colour will punch up your look. Go silver or use one with peacock feathers to jazz up your LBD,” says Badr. Big curls or a loose ponytail also work, she adds."

Fascinator Friday: ClaraBelle's Hats


Kari Dalton of ClaraBelle's Hats is a long-time seamstress and self-taught milliner.  When her youngest daughter got married, she made the gowns...and the hats and with the encouragement of her friends, she decided to make a run of it!  Beginning her journey with one 100 year old (self-named) hat block named ClaraBelle, she's been experimenting with techniques from vintage hat making books.  Dabbling in a variety of materials, including knit pieces, Kari and her daughter Anni feed off each others creativity.  With a dollop of vintage grace and a pinch of Southern charm, ClaraBelle's Hats is worth a visit!
You can find her Etsy shop here.
