Into the Woods – Fanciful Accessories for Fairy-Like Ladies
by Carly JacobsOh yes my friends Smaggle has a new goal. I’m going to come up with an uber cool quirky fashion idea all by myself and not copy from Style Bubble or Style Bytes. Although in this instance Style Bytes copied Style Bubble… and now I’m ripping them both off. But I figure we’re all from different countries and a trend needs a pioneer representative on every continent. And I’m the self appointed Australian Representative of the Fauna, Fowl and Feather Cranial Adornment Society. Translation – Sticking birds and shit in your hair.
Ms Bubble wrote about these delightful creatures a little while ago…
This is the one Susie got from Buddug but it appears from their online shop that the coolest ones (in my opinion) aren’t available. There also isn’t any information about international shipping. I tend to get a little click-happy when Susie links to shops on her blog and when I couldn’t purchase the (smaller) black bird head band I got cranky and snubbed the bird head idea altogether. I’m fickle like that. And then bloody Agathe comes along with her long swishy hair and destroys all the good work I did trying to wean myself of the woodland fairy path I was travelling along…
To cut long and ranty story short, the bottom line is – I need birds. In my hair. Immediately. I would have loved to purchase a Buddug bird but that proved too difficult. So I scoured every craft store in the city searching for tacky craft birds. Quick question – when did craft stores become so trendy? They don’t stock ANYTHING daggy (except scrap-booking stuff which dominates 90% of the shelf space) and the people that work in them are really young and don’t appear to know anything about craft. Give me a musty old lady craft store any day! Disappointed by retail again, off to Ebay I did trot…
And lookee what I found!
Little birds to make rings out of and…
Bigger birds to put in my hair!
And after reading Lula and checking out the new McQueen Show (Swoon!) I’ve decided that I shall now be wearing my hair like this at all times…
With a freakin MANAGERIE of birds in there. Shit yes.
Love Lady Smaggle
