When Laura Olsen approached us to see if we would like to be a part of an upcoming creative wedding shoot that she was styling, we were on board right away. We were even more excited when Laura explained the enchanting theme for the shoot – Narnia!
Here’s what is behind the Narnia theme:
“Our memories from childhood are funny things. A movie or story, so important in childhood, can at once be forgotten as an adult and yet somehow, still inspire. The influence can be direct, from images and others ideas or arouse a reinterpretation of old memories.
The Chronicles of Narnia, a series of books by C.S. Lewis, seems like a strange place to begin a themed shoot for a wedding. But for each of us, Narnia was the perfect starting off point to embrace the mystery and wonder the Pevensie family found and create something ethereal and decadent.”
I am so impressed with how the images turned out and we feel so very lucky to have been involved!
We’re extra excited because the shoot is featured on The Wedding Co too!
Our Glazed Puff Pastry (vintage) fur fascinator is featured on the bride and our Butter Cream Frosting headdress is worn by the junior bridesmaid throughout.

One of our floral crowns was recently featured by the lovely ladies behind The Marcy Stop – a fashion blog based out of Brooklyn.
We love the way they styled the crown with a breezy jumpsuit for a summer-ready look!
Grab this and many other colour combos of our crowns at our Summer in the City PopUp Shop tomorrow throughout the weekend!

For our final installment of our Summer in the City posts, our activity suggestion is a Toronto-must – visiting the Island!
It’s the perfect destination for an afternoon picnic and scenic bike ride, all with the skyline of Toronto in the background.
A trip to Toronto Island wouldn’t be complete without a stop at the nude beach at Hanlan’s Point. But what to wear for this classic Toronto activity?
Why, nothing at all except some killer accessories – like our Boomerang headwrap and this La Raffinerie statement necklace!
Grab both at our #summerinthecitypopup THIS week! Join us for the launch party thursday! RSVP@loveheadmistress.com.

For our second installment of our Summer in the City Toronto activity/outfit post, we are profiling everyone’s favourite hippie mecca – Kensington Market.
Whether you’re slacklining in that weird druggie park, or just plain old slacking, Kensington Market is the perfect place to spend an afternoon in The Big Smoke.
The big question though, is what should you wear while you’re kicking back in Kensington – how about this chunky La Raffinerie necklace and one of our floral crowns – paired with this Eve Gravel ensemble. After all, where else can you wear a floral crown any day of the week and not raise a single eyebrow?
All of these accessories will be available at our #summerinthecity PopUp Shop this week!
Be sure to RSVP@loveheadmistress.com and on the fb event!

In celebration of our upcoming Summer in the City PopUp Shop with Montreal’s La Raffinerie next week, we thought it might be fun to give our dear fans some ideas for activities to do in our respective cities, and more importantly – what to wear while you’re doing them.
Today, we start with Toronto, with an outing that any self-loathing hipster-foodie (but don’t call them/us that to their/our faces) is quite familiar with – having Patience in Parkdale.
The artisanal tacos and hand-smoked brisket won’t be the only thing that looks good after your two hour wait for dinner in Parkdale, just make sure you’re wearing your over-the-top Headmistress floral bib necklace, tucked under the peter pan collar of this Bettina Lou sleeveless dress, paired with these La Raffinerie gem earrings!
Come accessorize your summer at our #SummerintheCityPopUp shop next week!

Hot child, SUMMER IN THE CITY!
We love our fair city of Toronto, and will always have a special place in our hearts for Montreal. Both cities completely transform in the summer – people come out of hiding for impromptu park picnics, long bike rides along the water and patio lounging.
We are so very excited to announce that we will be co-hosting another PopUp Shop next week, with one of our favourite Montreal jewellery designers – La Raffinerie. After all, what better way to celebrate our two great Canadian cities and two great Canadian accessories designers than with a Summer in the City Pop Up Shop!?
Here’s the deal – it will be held at the same place as our Holiday PopUp Shop – The Norman Felix Gallery at 627 Queen St. West, Toronto.
LAUNCH PARTY
On Thursday June 6th, we’ll be hosting the launch party from 7-11 pm. For thursday night both Headmistress and La Raffinerie will be offering special promotions, exclusives and prizes!
On the Headmistress end, that will mean 10% off everything, and a super special gift with purchase over $49. RSVP on our facebook event and email us at RSVP@loveheadmistress.com, we’d love to have you!

If you know me personally, you have probably heard me spread the gospel of La Raffinerie - the Montreal based Jewellery line headed by Julia Vallelunga – to the point of wanting to punch me in the face.
Julia’s collections are meant for making statements. I’m not exaggerating when I say between my close circle of friends + mom + sister, we own at least 15 of her pieces. Her necklaces (she does earrings too!) are the kind of thing you can throw on with any old outfit and you are guaranteed to receive compliments all day long.
La Raffinerie is a fellow Anthropologie vendor and her pieces can be found across Canada, the US and Japan. Why am I preaching the good word of La Raffinerie to you? Because between the two of us we have a secret surprise brewing. You’ll have to wait til next week to find out what it is!!! WHAT COULD IT BE?!
Stay tuned for more info early next week!
