Moral of Floral

Nothing speaks spring to me like florals! This is the season in which the hippie flower child side of my style starts to peek through… when I can’t decide if I’d rather be at the Carolina Cup or Coachella…

Birds of a Feather

I’ll say it: I like the feather hair extension trend.

But if you’re like me, you don’t like getting stuck with permanent accessories you have to match all outfits too, and the idea of crimping a feather into your hair makes you a little nervous…

Luckily, queen of all hipsters Urban Outfitters has some alternatives:

A single earring…

Johnique by The Desert Child Feather Single Earring, $38

A temporary clip…

Double Feather Hair Clip, $19

Or a headband…

Feather Drop Headband, $20

Ugh I so wish I could pull off this look!

Inspiration for these hippie-chic pieces? My celeb friend Kayla looking oh so flower-childish on the cover of the Boston Phoenix‘s Summer Guide!!

Despite the fact that they were born in the 60s, flowy styles adorned with feathers and flowers never really go out of style in my book– especially not in the hot summer.

Here’s my take on Kayla’s covergirl flair, including AE mocs, Free People crochet top and hair clip, and Lucky Brand stash bag.  Click the set for additional product details.
