There have been some wild and crazy, yet fantastical and marvelous hair creations found on the runways in Paris this season, from odd colors to morphed shapes and ornate head pieces. Below are some of my favorites, that definitely will be hard to forget (and duplicate at home):

I like these Floral Lace Leggings, $12.80 for two reasons: 1) they are black 2) they are floral lace! Being serious for a second, tucked into some soft and supple kitten heel leather booties with a slammin’ lbd, they look amazing. Intricate legwear is the way to go, as opaque black tights have run their course (for now). I must interject one major piece of styling advice: EVEN THOUGH THESE ARE CALLED “LEGGINGS,” WEAR THEM AS YOU WOULD TIGHTS, AND NOT LEGGINGS!
I don’t care how model thin you are – I don’t want to see these stand-alone with a cropped or even tunic top — it’s just too much. Keep it classy, not dressy, and dress them up — they are lace, and that is something that would be worn more formally. A skirt, a dress, even dressy shorts might do – but some bottom of some sort is a must.
