Chaplin wisdom


This is our cardboard cutout of Charlie.  He moved in on Olivia's birthday last year as she is mildly obsessed with Mr. Chaplin and had the aforementioned as the theme for her party.  Well we gave him some extra sparkle (note the tiny star sequins on his shoulder and hat) and then we all fell in love.  He lives with us now, and sometimes at night when I sneak downstairs for a midnight snack and some reality t.v, I catch him out of the corner of my eye and jump out of my skin.  Once he arrived we realized he was just meant to be part of the family.  He moves around, we try to keep him out of the sun so he won't fade and he is always the life of any dinner party.  What Chaplin has become for us is a daily reminder of what is possible when you stay focused and work hard. He also authored many wonderful quotes, this one being my favorite.  He coined this phrase after a disastrous fire during the filming of The Circus, he was devastated as everything was destroyed and he practically had to start over. But in typical chaplin style he picked himself up and marched on.  The Circus went on to be one of the masterpieces of silent history and Chaplin continues to inspire us all to this day with his genius and style.

Instant flower crown tutorial



Anywhere clips are one of my favorite jewelry wardrobe essentials.  I created my first collection of these multifunctional accessories back in the late 1990's to be worn in the hair, on clothing, handbags or shoes.  To this day it is still my go to item to add that perfect bit of sparkle on a bad hair day.  Another hair accessory trend we are all loving this summer is the flower crown.  And while I love them too, and have created many different versions over the years, my favorite way to get this look is by using clusters of Anywhere clips.  You can create endless combinations AND if you are like me and prone to headband headaches this eliminates the need for a headband completely. In this tutorial I am going to show you how to take your collection of Anywhere clips, or other hair accessories, bows, etc. and turn them into an instant flower crown. 



STEP 1: Create a story or theme for for your #instantflowercrown by clustering different hair clips together.  Here are some examples;




STEP 2: Begin clipping them into your hair, beginning at the crown and working downward on each side. Nestle the clips together for extra security.

Step 3; try different storys, clusters and themes. 


STEP 4: Share your #instantflowercrown with us so we can share your photos with our followers! Just hashtag #instantflowercrown on instagram or twitter and follow me @tarinatarinat and @tarinatarantino (instagram) and have a sparkling weekend!
