Party Hat Trick

You know you may get yourself all dolled up in the coolest outfit ever but you end up at a place where it’s so rammed with people that your outfit ends up pressed against some random-er and to be honest, nobody is looking at anything but your head.  Which is why I’m well into embellishing my forehead with a little something something.  Haberdashery, ribbons, headbands, a combination of all the above.  Anything that puts a party touch.  If we used to wear party hats when we were five, no reason to stop decorating the head now.  The advantage being that you won’t sob if you somehow end up losing/damaging the cheap haberdashery head fix (very likely in my case after one too many B52’s), whereas seeing a precious dainty hat get trampled on with grimy club dirt is just too painful.  Second advantage being if you’re fairly tall like myself, then your unique stamp on the forehead will get you recognised by fellow friends lost in the sea of people.

  1. Nice one, Susie…it works on you, largely because your hair doesn’t go poofing out from the sides under the band. I tried something similar last year with this pastel-stripy wide hairband, only it ended up looking terribly hippy. Thanks to you, I might just have the guts to try it out again.
    That silver thing in the third picture is really cool 🙂 Did you make all of them yourself?

  3. I think model Irina Lazareanu looks amazing when she does this – little ribbons around her forehead. I try this too occasionally under the misguided illusion it’ll make me look all nonchalant, unfortunately oily skin + heavy bangs pressed against my forehead does not a good look make!

  5. i like the first… it’s like wrapping those sweatbands around your head, like them californians do – hippie.hobo.grunge.eighties.chic or sth

  7. I’m not trying to be a sycophant or anything, but you are so beautiful! I don’t think I’ve ever seen your face head-on in a picture on your site before, but you have a strong, unique beauty that rivals your strong, unique fashion sense. You put Irina to shame cause you look like you actually eat once in a while (not to say I don’t love Irina). Gorgeous, darling!

  9. Thanks Kate for the sweet compliment – I would class my looks as a bit of an acquired taste – much like my personal style and much like…. marmite on toast….
