Get this off my face!!!!....use Headbands! :)

Velvet Blossom Adjustable Soft Headband -$19

Gorgeous Headbands for the Summer! Spice it up a bit!

Remember when you were a little girl going to school and the only thing you could think of to keep back those flyaways or hair that refuse to stay out of your face was the wide headbands. Well I found the cutest headbands while browsing the internet.
I came across a blog known as CurlyNikki -www.curlynikki.com, and she did a post on some headbands designed by Andrea at WWW.AndreasBeau.com Her designs are made from exquisite ribbons, silk flowers and beaded trims. A few of her designs are included in this post and range in price from $19 to $42.

Double Gossamer Flower Headband - $42

These accessories are great for those hair days that you just don't want to be bothered with a bang or you would like the to have a clean fresh look without the hassle. This is a great alternative hairstyle to the boring bun and can also spice up your wardrobe. Andrea's Beau headbands are also made for little girls, so if you have a niece, daughter or cousin that would love these beautiful headbands she also has those available. Some of the headbands are a bit pricey but well worth it because they do last and the designs are very detailed.

Feathers and Fashion

Ok, so I wasn't too sure about the feather earring worn by Eva Marcille at the BET awards on the 28th of June but I think its growing on me. At first glance these earrings seem a little too much but if you notice, she wears it with a simple black dress and a fierce haircut and color. She didn't overdo it, so the only thing you notice are her earrings.

I found a pair at Etsy.com, a site dedicated to designers that sell their creations online. The site is similar to a designers version of ebay. A designer is able to sell their work online without having to really market it to other fashion department store buyers or having a fashion show.

The accessory below was designed by L.A. Native and is called the Flying earth earring/The afternoon drink pair and sells for $58. There are less expensive versions available or if your pockets are not that deep to buy the earrings below, you could also buy a similar version available at Charlotte-Russe, Forever21 or your local vintage store such as the peacock feather earrings and instead of wearing both earrings at the same time, you could wear one with a stud to minimize the look if you dont want the extreme look.


You could do the same with the earrings above. If you're not ready to rock the whole look, you could wear the shorter one with a stud or a small hooped earring. Always remember, if you wear such an extravagant piece, tone down the clothing pieces and hair. You don't want people confused or getting a headache from all the things going on in your look....lol.

Happy 4th of July!!!!
