\"Fern<\/div>\n

Quick! If you could live in any ancient era which would you pick?<\/p>\n

For me: Ancient Rome. Hands down. Or at least the ancient Rome from Gladiator<\/a>. Swoon. Oh, how I loved seeing Connie Nielsen’s<\/a> elaborate jewelry and headbands; the layers and layers of shimmering, sumptuous fabrics framed by elegant stoles and capes; gold thread, embellishments and jewels clinging to everything she wore. And Russel Crowe wasn’t too bad to look at either;)<\/p>\n

When this fern leaf hair comb<\/a> by artist Emily Elizabeth<\/a> came into the office, I fell in love! Here was something that emulated the Roman emperor\/Grecian goddess-look without being too costumey. It’s elegant yet unique, and surprising versatile. I’ve worn it everywhere – at the office, out on the town, at a wedding, etc. Now, all I need is a few servants to fan me and feed me grapes while I lounge in my imperial palace…<\/p>\n\n\t\t
