Eugenia Kim Eden Feathered Headband

We’ve previously spoken with slight nerdy enthusiasm about our love for the Eugenia Kim Eden Feathered Headband. Now is the time to get your hands on it – it is on sale at Lock & Mane for $29.99.

As much as I like the Fuschia option, I think the oatmeal one is fantastic for the universally flattering color – looks great on blondes, looks great on brunettes, and just enough orchre to set off red hair!

Bridal Hair Accessories: Show off your Bridal Glow with a Pretty Hair Clip

April 7, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Remember a few years ago when it was all the rage to use a gorgeous brooch as a hair clip? I loved it, but there was a few problems – first, it was hard to grab enough hair in a standard pin clasp to really hold it in place – the brooches kept flopping all over the place. Second, if my hair was conditioned as much as it should be, the pin tended to slip down on the silky strands. Third, using a pointy pin next to my head seemed rather dangerous (I ended up pricking my head with a pin more than once….ouch!).

Ban.do 100 Vintage Brooch Bobby Pin

I’m guessing the good folks at Ban.do had these concerns in mind when they designed the fabulous Ban.do 100 Vintage Brooch Bobby Pin. They copied it from a stunning brooch they found at an estate sale and instead of a pin, they attached it to a bobby pin. So it will stay in place, hold enough hair to create a style, not poke you in the head with a pin, and add a chic sparkle to your bridal look.

If you are a bride who is considering a Veronica Lake style for your big day (and if you need ideas, check out January Jones in Marie Claire UK), you may want to give some thought to the 100 Vintage Brooch Bobby Pin.Â It’s perfect for holding hair back on one side so everyone can see your prettyÂ face as you say I Do!

Bridal Hair Accessories: The Modern Tiara

April 5, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Personally, I think tiaras should be part of everyday dress. Wouldn’t making a sandwich just be all the more special if you were wearing a jeweled tiara?

Carolina Rodriguez Reina Jeweled Headband

But if you are insistent that tiaras should be reserved for royalty and brides, then this Carolina Rodriguez Reina Jeweled Headband is a fresh take on the bridal tiara. The headband will hold your hair in place and pull light towards your face. Try it with an updo for an extra wow factor.

FindÂ this great pieceÂ at Lock & Mane (where I know they have “Champagne Thursdays”, so can “Tiara Tuesdays” be far behind????)
