One of my all time favorite designers is Carolina Herrera. She's so creative with her use of worldly prints and textures, like in her Spring 2011 show. In this line, Herrera used the theme of of flowers, herbs, and gardening, with cute vintage tags hanging off of the flower pots as if someone had just bought the flowers from a nursery. I loved this look so much, that I set out to create it myself. I went to a hole-in-the-wall fabric store near my town, found the print I was looking for and bought just enough fabric to make a small accessory. With the help of an adult who knows how to make DIY (Do-It-Yourself) circle scarves, I created a circle scarf using the fabric. It turned out amazing and I can wear it all the time because it matches with just about everything...and whenever I wear it I get compliments on how unique the print is (thanks, Carolina Herrera!).

| I copied the exact look, from the pink belt to the green hat. However, I don't normally wear hats. To make the look more young and casual, I wore it with my hair down, as shown below. |
PS, turns out I'm not the only one who loves Carolina Herrera. Herrera was hired to design the wedding gown that Bella (Kristen Stewart) wears in Breaking Dawn! (Not that I like the movies, but I LOVE the books.) People Magazine reported that the dress cost approximately $35,000!!

Thanks so much!! I made the scarf with a sewing machine last year and there were a lot of steps involved. We followed the directions out of this sewing magazine...haha nerdy, I know. Since it was so long ago I don't remember all of the steps but here's a link to directions on how to make a circle scarf:http://video.about.com/sewing/How-to-Sew-a-Circle-Scarf.htm
