I can help but adore anything from Nicole Richie's line House of Harlow but one of my favorite pieces has to be the headpiece. It's no surprise its retails at $205, as it has been spotted on celebs like;
Kim Kardashian
Khloe Kardashian
And of course, Miss Richie herself.
While it'd be nice to be able to drop two bills on a headpiece like it ain't no thang, it's just not feasible. So I DIY'd my own.
You will need:
-Chain
-2 split rings
-Jewelry Tweezers
-Scissors
(I have pliers pictured, but trust me...use scissors.)
First: Measure around your head where you want it to rest. Grip onto the chain link that you want it to stop at, and add your split ring to it. Use the tweezers to pry it open.
Keeping the split ring open, loop the other end of the chain through so you get a perfect circle with a tail like so:
Next: Place it on your head with the tail facing the back. Pull the tail over the top of your head and mark with your finger the link where you want it to end.
Tip: It's easier to lay it out flat so you can easily pick the center of the circle where the tail is going to connect.
Add another split ring to connect the tail to the center of the circle.
You will likely have extra slack. This is easily snapped off with a strong pair of scissors and a strong boyfriend. ;)
Last, wear your masterpiece with pride.
Total Cost: $3.50
-Chain, $3.99 Michael's
-Split rings on clearance $0.99 Michael's

I hope you all had a Happy Easter and a wonderful weekend! Mine was well spent with family time and relaxation.
