The PERFECT Ballerina Bow + Claw Clip Combo
Hi all, it’s Rumer (@rumer_has_it on IG)! 🙂 With the summer days continuing to be hot and sticky where I am, I’ve been wanting to dress up some of my hair accessories to keep my hair up and out of my face. I was reminded of a bow claw clip I picked up this year during one of my travels. It’s a regular claw clip that holds my hair up well, with bows on both sides. I’ve been seeing a lot of similar accessories popping up on my feed too,…

Summer Soiree Shorts <3
Inspiration: As my name, The Crochet Faerie, suggests, I am heavily inspired by faeries and fantasy. I recently designed a lovely little Faerie Soiree Top, and really wanted a cute pair of shorts to wear with it, but also didn’t want the outfit to be purely crochet… As a fanatic of mixing mediums and fabrics, I took the same yarn & stitch used for my top and combined it with a light pair of already made shorts. The result: absolutely adorable magic! I can’t wait for you to give it…
