PETAL PUSHER

Get a daisy crown that never wilts away.


Aside from the occasional hippie wedding or music festival, we've never been able to wear flowers in our hair as part of a daily outfit. (But it's not like we haven't dreamed of the look, since everyone from Kirsten Dunst in The Virgin Suicides to, um, Kirsten Dunst in Marie Antoinette has done the daisy hair trend.)

Now Topshop introduces "hair coils," tiny knitted daisies attached to even smaller spirals of wire that you can gently twist into a braid, bun, ponytail, or along the crown of your head. They'll never wilt, and as long as you keep them relatively clean (ie: use hairspray before sticking them in), you can use them again and again. You can even mix them with real daisies, if you want a full-on Blossom moment.

In your article, you used a sentence that contained both a phrase from the ‘it’s not’ family and a phrase from the ‘you won’t family’. I passionately loved all sentences that contained both a phrase from the ‘it’s not’ family and a phrase from the ‘you won’t family’ because I thought that I would never hear or see these sentences anywhere. But what makes this even more offensive is that, only a few months ago, I had a feeling that I would encounter at least five sentences that contained both a phrase from the ‘it’s not’ family and a phrase from the ‘you won’t family’. This feeling came true, because I heard and saw at least seven sentences that contained both a phrase from the ‘it’s not’ family and a phrase from the ‘you won’t family’. I am enraged every time that my feelings come true. If you had replaced the phrase ‘you’re not’, which was the titular phrase from the ‘it’s not’ family, with the phrase ‘you aren’t’, which is a phrase from the ‘it isn’t’ family, I would not be heartbroken. In case you are confused by the terms that I have used, let me explain. There are countless two-word phrases whose first word is a contraction and whose second word is the word ‘not’. A contraction is any word that’s the shortened form of at least two words. The word ‘can’t’ is also a contraction, even though it’s the lengthened form of only one word (the word ‘cannot’). If the first word of any of these phrases is a contraction containing the word ‘is’ or the word ‘are’, the phrase is a phrase from the ‘it’s not’ family. If the first word of any of these phrases is a contraction containing the word ‘will’, the word ‘would’, the word ‘has’ or the word ‘have’, the phrase is a phrase from the ‘you’ll not’ family. Every phrase from the ‘it’s not’ family has its corresponding phrase from the ‘it isn’t family’. The two corresponding phrases both become the same phrase when the contraction in each phrase is replaced by the two-word phrase which it is short for; the same is true for phrases from the ‘you won’t’ family and the ‘you’ll not’ family. For example, the phrases ‘you’re not’ and ‘you aren’t’ are both short for the phrase ‘you are not’, which means that they are corresponding phrases. Also, the phrases ‘you’ll not’ and ‘you won’t’ are both short for the phrase ‘you will not’ which means that they are both corresponding phrases. I hope that you understand this, because, if you do not understand this, I will never forgive you, and I may even sue you.
