Girl with a pearl hairpin


I always look at photos from the shows, but it isn't necessarily the clothes that catch my attention. For Spring / Summer I loved all the pastel, lady like clothes, the Vuitton carousel complete with Miss Moss, the 1950's Mad Men style of the clothes and all of the grown up, beautiful details that came with that.


But what really caught my eye was the pearl hairpins at Chanel. Pearls have long been a Chanel style staple, and Karl never fails to reinterpret them each season to fit the current mood and style. This season was no exception, and to accompany his dreamy underwater world, Karl had pearls stuck to the models skin, round their waists as belts, and most interestingly, in their hair. I'm not even sure why but these pearls hairpins stuck in my mind, at least until I discovered that they're £165 for three. Phenomenal. However, I felt they were ripe for a DIY. I found an amazing website recently through Pinterest, and they have a super easy DIY for the pins. You can find it here: http://honestlywtf.com/diy/diy-chanel-pearl-hairpins/ I'd urge you to check out the rest of her DIY's, they're brilliant. I'm working on my Chanel hairpins right now, so I'll post a picture when they're done.
