IF YOU LIKE SOMETHING, PUT A BIRD ON IT/zara embroidered bomber jacket

Fell in love with this jacket right away.  I'm a total sucker for anything with a bird on it.  But I have to say that Zara's website continues to dazzle me this season (bird or not) and I just can't stop placing orders!  

Also, I was very much inspired by the April 2013 NYLON Magazine, as I decided to do the whole veil/baseball cap look.  Love it!  Too warm for a beanie, so I might as well incorporate the veil in another manner.

VEILED COMPANION/diy jil sander veiled beanie

Well...it finally got cold here in Denver.  It took awhile, but it actually did happen.  So what's the first thing I crave after the weather changes?  A perfectly glamorous yet functional winter hat.  

I started to feel sad that I didn't buy the veiled Jil Sander beanie...how could I miss out on such a beauty?!  Foolish of course, but have no fear...I googled some DIY instructions and...voila!

I purchased the beanie from H&M for like $6.  And then, I purchased a yard of french veiling.  It's actually a pretty simple project, but I have to say that all DIY instructions will instruct you to cut a certain length.  I am here to tell you that you need to measure your head first.  I, for one, have a slightly bigger head, so the first piece we cut was too tight.  This french veil is about $6 a yard and therefore, you do not want to mess up too many times...fit it to your head, measure it, do what you have to do, but please, do not trust the measurements on the instructions (just in case).
