First of all, I want to say THANK YOU so much to all my readers for supporting this blog for the last year. It has been a wonderful experience, and it wouldn't have been possible without your readership and support! This is the 100th post on Hello, Framboise!, and I'm looking forward to sharing many more with you.
For this Petite Fashion Challenge, the lovely KTR asked us to "create an outfit for an occasion (of your choice: attending a wedding, in a wedding, a holiday party, Kentucky Derby, etc.) and utilize a headpiece as the focal point to make a “fashionator” statement. This headpiece can be a fascinator, a fancy headband, a delicate flower or a big hat. Feel free to get as creative as you like!"

Headband: Nordstrom (similar here) | Dress: 5-7-9 (So old, I know! Find a cute one that's not 10+ years old here) | Coat: Gap (old, similar here) | Shoes: Jessica Simpson (similar here) | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff (on sale via Bluefly!) | Bracelets: Tiffany, Swarovski, F21
While I didn't have a full-fledged fascinator around the house, I thought this pretty crystal headband jazzed up this holiday party ensemble nicely. I actually rediscovered this dress as I was rummaging through my closet looking for a suitable headpiece, and I realized that the burgundy velvet was as on-trend now as it was when I wore it to a high school homecoming dance. I love when "everything old is new again."

Congrats Tam! I remember the first time I found your blog and how excited I was... your style is so refreshing, sophisticated, and inspirational! I love this outfit. I've noticed that Nordstrom has some pretty awesome headbands quite often! Your dress is so elegant, and fits perfectly into trends today!!

Thanks so much, Rachel! You've been such a great blogfriend from Day One--I really appreciate your support and kind words.
DeleteI love headbands! My problem is I can't find a pretty one that does not cause pain behind my earbone after wearing it for a little bit. I think you look absolutely gorgeous in this outfit. Anything old can be made new indeed depends how you style it :)
ReplyDeleteI've found that the thinner headbands work better for me, but it's important to test them and make sure they're not too tight around the ears. This headband is very comfy, but I've definitely experienced what you're talking about.
DeleteThank you so much for your support--I appreciate it so much!
You look absolutely gorgeous! Stunning no less. I personally feel that I look strange in a headband, but I adore it on others! This is the perfect look for a special event :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize this month's PFC is tonight. You look gorgeous, Tam! What a great look for the holidays! Congrats on one year. I look forward to many more posts.

So pretty and loving your jeweled headband. Really wanting one for the holidays!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the milestone! I really enjoy your writing and style :)
ReplyDeleteAlso love that headband!
Coat seems to ran a bit small, the lining seems to make the sleeves snug but its beautiful and lovely shoes.

ReplyDeletelove this! so elegant and lovely =) the accessories you chose are divine!
ReplyDeletelove from the NANA girls xoxo
Elegant headband! I love collecting headbands, but every time I put them on my hair at the top immediately loses its volume...any tips?
ReplyDeleteI love this look on you. I like how you have teamed sparkles on your dress with your headband.
