Decorate your head this summer

1 February, 2010

Last season we had the Louis Vuitton bunny ears, and this season looks like it will be the season of the huge floppy hair accessory. Seen (above) at Lauren Moffat, the look is all about balancing proportions and keeping the rest of your outfit super-short, sleek and jewellery free.

A more wearable way to follow the trend? Fold and tie a silk scarf around your head so that the ties sit on top (image via The Sartorialist). The perfect summer solution for the Hong Kong frizz! You can also… …pop a Panamanian on top of the scarf for a truly terrible hair day.

And don’t you just love this girl’s style? It’s not just about the Birkins (though of course that blue one makes me green with envy), but the bright colours, Rio sunshine and fab shoes. Roll on summer!

Hester is originally from the incredibly glamorous city of Bristol, in England. Determined to escape her West-Country roots (though a love of good scrumpy should never be lost) she packed off for uni at Oxford to waste several years on a degree in Philosophy and never looked back… Following a stint in Switzerland eating too much fondue and meeting her future husband, they jumped at the chance to follow their dream of heading to Asia, and landed in Hong Kong in 2008. Along with partners-in-crime and fellow Tai-Tais, Maura Thompson and Natalie Firestone, she founded Sassy in 2009 and then Sassy Mama in 2011 after the birth of her daughter Elodie. Number 2 daughter Margot arrived in August 2012 and then two months later it was off to her new home in Singapore with tinies in tow. Hester is discovering the Lion City one shophouse at a time with a love for seeking out Singapore’s hidden secrets!
