This week I’ve been seeing some fantastical floral headpieces, so I wanted to spotlight the fanciful world of flowers-on-people’s-heads! You don’t need to be a bride to plop some flora on your noggin either – every day is an excuse to be fancy. ⇒ I wish I could tell you where this headpiece came from,…

The “Op” stands for opportunity!
Yesterday Sonya and I hit the op shops up and down the road I live on in our (never ending) quest to find fabulous dresses.
