Dear Fashionista Reader,

We're with you; although the site isn't as splashy and image-filled as some, the email newsletters with their dishy trend and celeb features are spot on, and our lives are way better because of those crack reporters and their solid industry info. And yes, we did peep this week's feature on rocking a tiara -so good!

Ashley Williams crystal tiara from SPACE, a shop for emerging and advanced designers

It's possible that you may now be in the position of knowing how and when and where to place one of these bad boys on your head-if only you actually owned one. Well, dear reader, we've got our own tutorial right here, and it comes with a none-too-precious jeweled crown from SPACE designer Ashley Williams.

When Ashley showed her Bad Mood collection back in September, she told us that it was a reaction to her previous season, dubbed "Happy Ashley," which was all upbeat vibes and fun stuff.

"Everyone expected me to really be Happy Ashley and my boyfriend was like, 'They so don't understand,'" she told us. In other words, it's all about embracing the downer days and really dressing for them.

And that's the first thing to know: this really is a tiara for, like, Mondays.

On the runway, Ashley illustrated the inevitable crappy mood with buggy lace, graphic prints, fishnet stockings and '80s-inspired dresses.

Take that vibe off the runway by pairing the Bad Mood tiara with asymmetrical tops, slip dresses, gothic color palettes and party dresses you can kick, scream and cry in.
