One of our springiest floral crowns was featured in Shu Uemura’s latest makeup editorial – pink cherry blossom princess.

And that was that! So many thanks to Kim for taking the time to speak with me. Seeing Headmistress Bridal in store was the perfect ending to an incredible trip. I encourage anyone who hasn’t experienced the East to do so as soon as possible. It was beyond beautiful and entirely refreshing. I will definitely be back to see those people, those cliffs, those boats, and that ocean. Sheeeesh, I’m smitten.
All week long, our favourite Canadian blogger Samantha Stylish is featuring yours truly! ALL.WEEK.LONG.
Each day she is rocking one of the pieces from our Spring/Summer 2013 Collection – Coney Island Baby.
Day 1 – our few of a kind lime green spider lace turban – with our mindbuster flower clip
Day 2 – our tilt-a-whirl bib necklace – one of my favourites this season!
She also did a quick interview with me so that you all can get to know Headmistress that much more deeply!
Over the years, we’ve been in a lot of magazines, and had a lot of press – but we’ve never been in Chatelaine before.
Finally, the spell has been broken – one of our floral crowns is featured in an editorial on new spring trends in the May issue!
The whole shoot is beautiful and I think the look suits the model very well. Thanks Chatelaine!
I recently ran into Carrie from With Love Lingerie at the One of a Kind Show. I hadn’t seen her in a couple of years, not since the Clothing Show (RIP). She told me she had used one of our silk turbans for her lookbook shoot and so naturally I was very excited to share how she styled it.
For her shoot, Carrie paired our silk turban with her Greta sheer full-length gown. You can shop With Love Lingerie online or at several stockists in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and Kitchener!
A similar turban to the one she used is available here.
Ohhhhh prom season. It’s a time that girls put a lot of time, energy and thought into. It’s one of the ultimate opportunities for self-expression through outfit decisions in one’s high school career. It’s regular people’s red-carpet moment so naturally there are a lot of things to consider.
Back in 2004 when I went to prom, I was lucky enough to have a mom who sewed so I knew that I didn’t have to worry about someone else showing up with the same dress as me. Overall, my choices weren’t too bad – together we designed a long chocolate brown silk dupioni dress with a slit up the side – lined in silk (obv) with a light pink accent band and matching gloves to the elbow for a little bit of drama.
I do recall hitting the tanning beds in preparation, which I would definitely not condone anymore, but hey it was 2004! Surprisingly, I wore no hair accessories, but did have a real white orchid shoved into the side of my french roll. I was very sophisticated.
Overall, I think my prom outfit choices could have been a lot worse – and I look forward to the day where I dusty this baby off, throw on some straps and wear it somewhere.
Luckily for the high school girls of today – there are widely available resources (thanks, the internet) for gathering inspiration for the perfect prom look. Lucky for Headmistress, Fashion Magazine’s prom inspiration guide features one of our crowns. Love this look!
This is the crown shown here.
