This or That? Holiday Hair Flair

I tend to think of hair accessories like jewelry. They're ornamental, sparkly, and are sweet additions to your outfit.  No one does hair accessories like Ban.do.  They have a fantastically festive holiday line that includes oversized hair clips and bobby pins, bows, and flowers.

If you were dressing up for a holiday party, which hair accessory would you choose?

Understated Sparkle or Full-On Flower Flair?

Oh, Happy Day

I hope you're all enjoying your last real day of summer. This summer has been so fantastic for me, for so many reasons, so I am definitely sad to see it (and the hot weather) go.  I can only hope you're all spending the day relaxing and taking a break from work. Fall is just around the corner (and New York Fashion week!) so enjoy the dog days while they last!

My day looks a lot like the photo above, lounging around at my family cottage. Tell me, how are you spending labor day?   

Thanks for reading Jolie Jouel this summer. I love hearing from readers and other jewelry enthusiasts and I am excited for more jewelry and fun projects this fall!
