the upcoming festival season had my homemade floral crown begging for its debut, incorporating nature into a look always gives such a freeing aura which is the appeal of any bohemian style to begin with. That all-natural effortless simplicity is so special to my heart, a whimsical means of exorcising excess stress, expressing my inner beauty and finding my center within the chaos of daily life. becoming one with the world around me is an experience i enjoy often by hiking, swimming laps, listening to the birds sing outside my open window, paying attention to the vastness of the endless sky and sometimes literally stopping to smell the roses. the outdoors offer such a refreshing outlook on whats truly important. i wanted to channel the necessity of recognizing your ability to access innate inspiration through the bare basics of just...being. and breathing in your surroundings, living each and every day with intention. all we really need to be is a pair of open arms tied together by an open heart.

p.s. thank you to emily of emily magers photography, you have the most natural beauty inside and out and i would be nothing without your ability to capture mine. you inspire me every day to be a better human.

ReplyDeletethank you so so so much! i agree every girl needs a floral headpiece, its super easy to make your own too! just start with a pre-made circular set of sticks from a craft store like joanns or michaels and cut a chunk in the back so it fits like so and use real or fake flowers to stick in the crevices. wah-la! hope you had a wonderful easter xo
DeleteThis is absolutely GORGEOUS! The floral crown is swoon worthy and you wear it well. :)
