New Love: Juju Hats!

Has anyone seen these yet?!
I first saw these gorgeous hats on The Nester and fell in love with the idea, backround, and tutorial! Read On (: 


Traditionally worn by Village Chiefs in the Cameroon region of central Africa, Juju hats have since gained popularity with interior designers, and are often used as an eye-catching accessory for the home. Beautiful bird feathers are painstakingly hand sewn onto a raffia fiber base/basket that splays out into a huge circle. Feathers are considered rare objects of beauty and a symbol of prosperity and wealth associated with the positive qualities of birds. When not in use, the Juju hat can be neatly folded in on itself for easy storage. A perfect example of fine, unique and skillful weaving from Central West Africa, Juju hats have featured in high-end decor magazines, such as Domino, Elle Decor and Inside Out, to name a few.

Most Juju Hats range about $400-$900...
and that would be why I found a tutorial haha


A gorgeous accent...


It looks so soft !


I want this whole room!


Check out the tutorial here !

All you need to create the above Juju Hat:
  • Thick Wool Yarn (aprox. 1/2 ball for small, 1+ for large)
  • Scissors or X-acto knife
  • Poster board or Thick card stock
  • Stapler
  • Double sided tape
  • Popsicle sticks or Chopsticks
LOVE IT !

Gorgeous DIY Wedding



Absolutely beautiful wedding of Elsie Larson, a writer from one of my favorite blogs A Beautiful Mess, Check out her blog if you haven't yet! Her style is fantastic. When I visualize my future wedding (very very long way off) I've always wanted to have a huge part in decorating, to reflect my personality, but also I feel like that creates memories in itself, and great keepsakes. Check out her DIY bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages, to die for!

Check out her blog, they can be found here. I really need to get my creativity back, I feel like since I've been home from college I've been lazy, trying to get back into the mood of fashion. I'm going shopping tomorrow, thank God. Ocean City, Maryland soon ! Time for new bikinis, sundresses and sandals !
