Sometimes I get emails about the strangest things and sometimes I just can’t resist saying yes. When an email from Novum Crafts dropped into my inbox asking if I’d like to review a Native American headdress, I knew I had no actual need of one but of course I still wanted it. Who can blame me; they’re just so much fun!

One of my first ever blog posts was a DIY to make your own headdress and it still gets a few repins on Pinterest, despite its horrible photography! However I’ve always dreamed of owning my own show-stopping headdress and this Turquoise 75cm Native American Headdress is simply perfect. It’s dramatic without being huge and surprisingly wearable – for a feather headdress anyway! I think it would be perfect for fancy dress parties or festivals, but it also looks great hanging on my bedroom wall as a piece of homeware,

Today I wanted to have a little fun with my outfit post. I teamed the headdress with a denim skirt and strappy summer cami. I picked up the denim skirt at Judy’s Vintage Fair in Cambridge, one of my favourite vintage fairs which always has some hidden gems. I love the retro style, although I am still obsessed with suede skirts and I wish I owned one for this look. The cami top is an old favourite from an Urban Outfitters sale and it’s a great top to sling on for a night of dancing; I love the folk embroidery and it’s so comfortable and versatile.

I was braver than usual with my makeup as I felt the headdress really deserved a strong look to go with it. I normally simply wear neutral colours on my eyes but I dug out my Storm palette by Sleek and decided to experiment with blues. It felt really out of my comfort zone, as I never experiment with my eyeshadow but I think the final look is actually pretty wearable, yet matches nicely with the beautiful turquoise feathers.

I was seriously impressed with how well the headdress is made and also how comfortable it is to wear. Rather than a headband, it is structured around a cap-like hat which sits happily on my head without any slipping or tightness. The feathers are attached together by a long string of elastic, which gives the headdress some movement but also means nothing gets twisted or broken. Sometimes I just want something fun in my wardrobe and I really couldn’t resist twirling around as my friend patiently photographed me. Hopefully you can tell that we had a lot of fun!

What do you think of the headdress? I’d love to hear some comments!
