The Modern Headpieces

Happy Tuesday Luvs,

So wow its been close to two weeks since I last posted. The site had a technical issue that needed to be resolved. Thank God it was nothing major and now we are back up and running :-).

A few weekends ago I hung out with one of my cousins and she had a really pretty headpiece in her curly mane. It was initially a broach and she tweaked it a little bit and made it a hair clip. Aside from that being creative it got me thinking about headpieces and how much of a wonderful accessory they are these days. Now we all know jewelry is a major asset when trying to enhance an outfit, but if I have said it once then I know I have said it twice accessories are a major plus. Anything from a pair of gloves to a hair clip can turn an "Oh no" into and "Uh oh". It's a simple fact.

With that being said I wanted to dedicate this week's fierce find to headpieces (how and where) you can get them. Nowadays many retailers sell all kinds of beautiful hair accessories. My favorite stores are Aldo and Forever21. They usually have some cute unique pieces that you can put in your hair or add on to an outfit to make it pop, but aside from them there are a ton of other ways to acquire unique pieces. Since I am a NYC resident I usually opt for the streets of New York. Vendors galore especially in Soho sell amazing little stuff that can dazzle a fit. If I do not go that route then little jewelry boutique's such as Laila Rowe offer some other alternatives or even fabric stores. Fabric stores can and will be your best friend if you like to stand out.

These are some good examples of people I know (including myself) who have utilized some cool hair pieces...

With that being said below are some adorable fierce finds that will jazz up any outfit. Remember when it comes to accessories in general. Be creative. Have fun. Never overdue it, but accessories make you stand out. So be bold in a good way ;-).
