Even before considering the fact that he is a Lancastrian like me (woo!), Henry Holland is consistently one of my favourite designers. His summer collections in particular always stand out to me and are often copied on the high street, and so once we have the worst of the winter months out of the way I believe we’ll be seeing pieces influenced by his quirky pastel, neon and metallic SS13 collection all over the place. As you might have realised from my post on winter warmers, I love a good beanie and was super excited by the blingtastic (yes, I did just use that word) ‘jewel’ encrusted hats on the House of Holland catwalk at LFW earlier this year. I did have one problem with them – I want to wear one now, not in summer! I decided to take matters into my own hands and create my own version for a fraction of the price to keep my little head warm this winter, and here’s how I did it.
You will need:
- A plain beanie – you can choose any colour you like but I chose to stick with the neutral tones of the House of Holland hats and bought this one in ‘camel’ for £2.85 inc. P&P from eBay.
- Plastic gems – you have free reign over colour, shape and size, but I chose to try to emulate House of Holland again by using clear, rectangular gems. I bought two packets of these larger gems and one packet of these smaller ones, both from eBay for a total of £5.55, but feel free to use more or less as you see fit!
- Needle and thread.

I love this hat. It looks way better in real life. It's like a nice and light cotton candy pink colour. I purchased at http://www.apparelnbags.com/port-authority/index.htm
Oftentimes life is complicated… And oftentimes, those complications are not wanted! In the world of fine haute horlogerie, the opposite is true.
Patek Philippe has released the most complicated watch they have ever produced.
