// My inspirations for Hippie Headwear









// Meet Hippie Headwear














Styling/blogging and accessory design are my passions! So I have decided to combine all 3 of my favorite things into my business..meet Hippie Headwear! Here is a little Bio on my business and how you can purchase my headwear! <3

My name is Nikki Balzano. I am the designer of Hippie Headwear! I design custom made(one of a kind headwear pieces)! Using materials such as dried butterflies adorned in Swarovski Crystals, braided into hemp, suede or leather using the best in silk flowers. I also use vintage jewelry/charms and metals in my designs to insure each piece is truly one of a kind and unique! Bohemian, Hippie and Native American cultures are my true inspiration for my headwear! I will also custom design any headwear using your own vintage jewelry or pieces to really make each headwear your own vintage creation!

**Please note that EACH piece is ONE OF A KIND, I will also custom make headwear pieces for clients! Have a look in mind? Want to use your grandmothers vintage jewelry? (after speaking with the customer and getting a feel for their personality and fashion sense)** I won't ever make two of any style! I design new headwear everyday- coming soon my Fall collection using rocker chic metals and vintage brooches/feathers OH MY!!

15+ item boutique orders will receive a custom made display piece for the headwear to be displayed in! I also have sample pieces and pictures (items vary since each piece is one of a kind).

I'm really digging every single piece on this collage..Vince's Leather Dress ($595)— sequins, shearling, and animal accents are channeling our inner drama queen for fall 2010, Topshop's Leopard Leather Shoulder Bag ($80)! Jump start your winter wardrobe with some seventies-inspired shearling (HUGE TREND FOR FALL/WINTER 2010; Arctic Suede Crepe Wedges ($93).Boutique's adorable Pleat Pinafore ($125) with Ferragamo-like ballet flats. Edun's Patchwork Cotton Parka Jacket ($560) with some lace-up boots. However you decide to attain wardrobe Zen (with Pamela Love's Arrowhead Necklace ($1325), perhaps!
