Statement earrings, natural hair's best friend

One of my top natural hair must -haves are statement earrings. It doesn't hurt that big earrings are also something that I love. I don't have a specific place that I like to frequent for my earring purchases - I typically pick them up whenever I see something that I like.

The pic above reflects just a small portion of my earring stash and a lot of the earrings I own consist of earrings that I made. If you are not a "hunter" for earrings, there are a few brick & mortar stores that carry big and trendy earrings on a regular basis.

You can try places like:
Forever21
ArdenB
Macy's
Also check out some vendors on Etsy and Big Cartel

One  reason that statement earrings work so well for those of us with natural hair is because smaller earrings can become hidden behind big hair. If you have always worn smaller earrings but would like to try something larger, just start small. Go up in the size of the earring until you reach a point where you are comfortable with the size.

Is there a place that you love to frequent to score some great items?

From Barcelona With Love,

A friend of mine went on vacation recently and toured quite of few places that are still on my "to do" list of places to go. One of her stops was Barcelona, Spain and while there she picked me up...

Cute Spanish hair combs! I can see me wearing them with some bouncy curls. I can't wait to try them out.

DIY Bow Headband

One thing that really grinds my gears is finding a cute accessory that does not come in the color(s) that I need. That is the main reason I started making my own. Here is a quick tutorial and how you can make your own bow headband:

You can change the look of your headband by changing the length and width of the ribbon used. You are only limited by the extent of your imagination. Have fun!

I didn't forget....

About a month ago in this post i mentioned that I would post some steps for making your own hair accessories. I have not forgot...I got busy with school, work, life, and trying to be an entrepreneur (I.M.I.)

So tonight I will be sure to get that post done so it can be up before May ends ;)

Summer hair is more fun with accessories!

Hair Accessory Variety

On a recent trip to Walmart:

Some of these look so simple that I am going to try and make them - maybe save a few dollars. Since I make diaper cakes and jewelry I have all the supplies at home anyway. All I need some ideas.

If you are not a DIY person most of the accessories in the pictures ranged from $2-$5 and were very cute.
