no hippies allowed

Flower crowns/wreaths/headbands/whatever have been done and overdone like last week's dinner. I swore I was going to kill if I saw anymore...then this wonderful gift to mankind happened. Paris Vogue: you did the damn thing. And it's actually spectacular. They took the hippie, Coachella staple, shot it super simply in-studio and made it look all kinds of bad ass in the March 2013 issue. Paired with a fresh face and THE MOST amazing hair (new inspo!!!), I can safely say...I'm Rima Vaidila and I approve this image. You're welcome.
