Summer Bracelets

Summer is in full swing.  Summer comes with that summer heat that we need to dress for.  Some days just the idea of wearing anything extra is too much.  These memory wire bracelets are great for summer.  Lightweight rest loose on the wrist doesn't create any additional body heat.  Don't let the heat stop you from looking and feeling your best.

Rock Lobster Earrings

Rock these lobster earrings!

Fun themed earrings are a must for your jewelry box.  Add a pair of unexpected crustacean to liven up your look.  Artist Laura Jean created these to show her of love of the ocean and fun.  These lightweight 3D plastic lobster hook earrings are easy to wear and Ni and Pi free. Funky jewelry is prefect to rock during the summer with all the parties and events.  Let loose and show off your flair.

Summer Hair

Now that Summer is here its time to keep cool and accessorize.

What I love about these barrette bow hair clips is that it makes it quick and easy way to style your hair.
 
Some of my favorites looks are with a bun or a top a ponytail.   Turn a simple hair style into chic put together look.

So many bow clip hairstyles to choose from, makes for a fun way to accessorizes for all ages.

Flash Back Friday, Bringing the Throwback Accessory Back

Phone check, wallet check, keys check and scrunchie check! If your like me, having long thick hair, you know to never leave the house without a hair scrunchie!  Since I always have one on me, I like to have a variety of styles.  I love when style and function meet, awww hair accessories.  Thinking back to my early days of scrunchie wearing, I loved the big fabric scrunchies.  Fabric hair scrunchies make a nice accessory to wear on your wrist but also a fun pop in hair while adding volume.

Wear them in a high top pony tail or as a finish to a braid.  These scrunchies are comfortable to wear on the wrist and strong enough to keep your hair tight.  

Hand made fabric hair ties.

Flower Power, Flower Hair Clips

Spring and Summer bring out so many beautiful flowers, can't they stick around forever?  Naturally we love to have them around they bring about life and beauty.  Flowers in hair just go along so well together.  Unfortunately, real flowers do not do so well in that environment.  They tend to wilt and lose petals.  Flowers in brides hair has been on the raise, for good reason they look so lovely! 

I had to do something to have long lasting flowers in my hair.  I turned yarn whenever I need a answer and an answer I found.  Cotton flower hair clips were born!

What I love about these is that they are soft and sturdy.  They add a nice soft touch to your look.  Flower hair clips look great in braids and makes such a fun flower hair accessory.  With so many flower hairstyles with great tutorials online how could you not want to give it a try?

No dent hair ties!

There have been many great inventions throughout time.  Air conditioning and GPS are some of my personal favorites but the No Dent Hair Ties has been a major game changer!  No more dents on my wrist or hair.  No more snap from the rubber band breaking as I try to tether back my heavy hair.

I have put these No Dent Hair Ties together to help hair everywhere!

I can not leave the house without a hair tie.  I love my hair but when I want it out of the way, I want it out of the way NOW! Even when I am not wearing one, its nice to have it made from a fashionable fabric, a little touch of gold couldn't hurt.
