Small, simple wrist tattoos accessorized with an Hermès Collier de Chien cuff equals instant rock-and-roll perfection.

 

Speaking of tattoos, I still regret not being patient enough to wait in line at Pamela Love’s pop-up tattoo shop at Milk Studios a couple years ago…

When I saw Ariel walking out of the Division CTA stop it was street-style infatuation at first sight. Overall jeans require just the right amount of laid-back quirkiness to pull off the look, and she nailed it.

America’s never been much of a hat-wearing culture, and it’s a shame. Hats are a simple way to add a dash of personality to any outfit. Sure, up until the 1960s men and women both wore hats, but headgear has never enjoyed the power or ubiquity here in the States that it does in the UK.

 

And yet, the recent popularity of luxe baseball caps and flower headdresses are drawing attention to the American tête like never before, single-handedly revitalizing the stateside crafting industry. Don’t believe me? An Etsy search for ‘flower headbands’ returns over 219,000 results.
