How beautiful are these floral bobby pins kindly sent to me by the fabulous
Crown and Glory? They're all deliciously Autumnal in lovely rich natural colours that will look gorgeous all year round. They're very flattering and bring out the warm tones in my hair The red
Cherry Cola is most subtle in my brunette locks, whilst
Tequila Sunrise and
Honeysuckle cheerfully stand out.
I already own a couple of lovely pieces from Crown and Glory and they're really versatile. I've worn them on everyday occasions but also styled my daisy bobby pins into my sleek up-do as a guest at a ball. Today I went for a look inspired by vintage styles of the 40s but with a modern, dishevelled slant. I twisted my hair round each side, adding in a few little plaits for layers of texture and at the back plaited and pinned it all into a messy bun for a casual take on an elegant style.
All Crown and Glory pieces are both made by hand and truly delightful, yet they aren't ridiculously expensive but very affordable as a sweet treat or a present if you can bare to give them away. To get a
sampler of all three colours like I have here it costs £5 but you can also buy individual colours in various quantities. From cute little bobby pins to frivolous fascinators and original commissions, I highly recommend trawling Crown and Glory and getting distracted by all that prettiness.
