My sourcing trip to Debra Moreland's Paris headquarters was an explosion of sparkly awesomeness. Moreland, one of our favorite local designers, has a strong national following. Debra and her team were busy prepping for a visit from Anthropologie's BHLDN buyers, so the showroom was filled with floor-to-ceiling bling. Swoon. Keep a look out for a series of stunning Paris hair accessories in our upcoming spring issue.
