Jennifer Ouellette Buttons Headband: Love It or Hate It?

Cool Idea: Baubled Wire Vase
This one-of-a-kind vase, owned by a relative of mine, was wrapped with basic copper wire and strung with a melange of vintage beads and buttons. The glass vase itself is a basic cylinder shape — the kind a florist would use — but the adornment gives it remarkable flair that I find quite chic. Recreating this vase wouldn't be difficult, even for a novice beader, but amassing such an extraordinary collection of baubles would be a feat in itself.

Trend Alert: Dressy Buttons
Jane Krakowski is looking cute as a button; she definitely knows how to work her dressy buttons. Her Catharine Malandrino burgundy button-down dress is classy and youthful and her monochrome tights and shoes are a wise choice. Buttons add a fun flair to any dress, without them, life would be a wee more boring.
