Call me trendy (lol), but I love coming across details that cross over from interior design to fashion.  Today it’s all about the bumble bee.  If you’re like me, you’re terrified of the little buggers (and will scream at the sight), but that doesn’t mean you can’t love them as a style detail.

Any insect details that you’re bugging out over?

It’s the start of a new week and I thought I’d kick things off with another Trend Alert post.  This time it’s about traditional Native American headdresses.  A little something you may not know about me is that my grandmother’s grandmother was Cherokee Indian… okay, so that only makes me 1/16th, but I think that’s pretty cool.

So, without further adieu, here are my top 5 headdress picks.
