Head Case

A recent overpriced hair cut left me with limited options for styling.  While I love my new cut, there are only so many ways I could style it before the inevitable pony tail made its way to the back of my head. I needed to find some new accessories to update my fabulous but 

limiting new do. 

 I made a recent trip to Urban Outfitters and within 10 minutes I had snagged some new accessories to medicate my hair boredom.

Since my Urban finds, I've been scouring flea markets, vintage stores, fabric bins, just about everywhere for inspiration and materials to make my own adornments.  Along the way I've found tons of inspiration and ideas to dress up my basic cut.

Chinae of course has a knack for picking out the perfect accessories.  She's one of the most stylish people that I know and isn't afraid to take risks in fashion.  I love this clip!  Not only for all of the  great colors, textures, and details, but because there are so many different ways to wear it.

Ahhh Chinae!!!! She is too good! And the perk to our friendship is that she is excellent at sharing!

A couple seasons ago Prada came out with the turban headbands.  I walked into the Prada store with a friend intending to buy one headband for the two of us to share.  When we saw the $300 price tag we snickered with disgust and realized that we could make our own knock off with fabric from the closets at work.  The finished product turned out just as good, if not better than the original design.  It literally took 5 minutes to sew which makes for an easy last minute accessory for any bad or uninspired hair day!
