It’s been a while since my birthday, but we had a lovely day out, and I had a very special blossom in my hair to celebrate!
On Instagram I have been following Jamie of Chatterblossom for quite a long time, admiring her gorgeous handmade hair flowers as well as her impeccable, elegant styling. Much to my joy we connected via email a little while ago, and I was excited to have the chance to work out a two-part feature with Chatterblossom to share on Lavender & Twill. Yay! So be on the look out for part two ~ coming soon!
Firstly though, isn’t this lovely vintage cabbage rose just the prettiest thing? You already know how I’m into anything floral, and I just adore the dainty effect this hair flower adds to my ensemble.
When I was browsing through the Chatterblossom Etsy shop it sooo was hard to know which flower to pick there are so many unique and gorgeous pieces! I also thought that Chatterblossom’s Flower of the Month Club sounds like the perfect Christmas present ~ wouldn’t it be such a fabulous surprise to receive a flower in the mail once a month! And that way you don’t have to agonise over picking just one… (•́⌄ - ́๑)
It was interesting to note that Jamie uses reclaimed vintage trims to create her one-of-kind pieces. I find it brings such a nice look to the finished clip, as there is just a certain style to original vintage that you really can’t replicate.
When my Raspberry Romance clip arrived I was super happy to find that this pretty rose not only filled a vacant gap in my hair flower collection {can you believe didn’t have any red flowers?}, it also happened to be the perfect match for my vintage Swirl dress.
My poor dress which is a bit worse for wear ~ yes, somebody hacked the hemline shorter at one point {whyyy….! (TT ^ TT)}. It also has a few stains and holes, but it’s such a fun frock with the little red and white daisies embroidered on the bodice. I also have a thing for gathered necklines, so yep. She’s a beauty even if she’s a little wounded.
Then I had to wear my red Lola Von Rose purse to match all the red accents. It seems so strange to me how long I managed to live without a red handbag, and completely crazy now that I have one! I find that it gives me a totally different approach to the way that I accessorize, and it is a wonderful compliment the classic red lip and nail combination, so I am all about that!
Now that I have shown you the details of this stunning, one-of-a-kind Chatterblossom flower, I want to share about a little feature I’m starting up on Lavender & Twill ~ Teacup Chats. Short, sweet and fun interviews with our brand owners!
As an artist and an aspiring entrepreneur, I am absolutely fascinated to learn about the workings of small businesses, and I thought that perhaps you might like to read about them too. With that in mind, in the the next post we will get to meet Jamie herself and find out a bit more about the creative process of Chatterblossom. {*hint* Her flower collection is ah-mazing, and I was astonished to see it! (○ _ ○)!}
xox,
bonita
