These were supposed to go up on Friday, but it turns out it’s a lot more work to do daily photos than I realized. They just sat there, inside the camera all lonely and forgotten. Un-uploaded and un-edited. You know, plenty of people do this for every post. Every day. Which now seems like an insane amount of time. Plus it’s really hard to be creative with photo taking every day on a time crunch. But also really fun. And it gets my mental wheels spinning. It’s good to challenge yourself, and it takes your mind off of something you don’t like (March!).

Say, speaking of…this challenge is going so so well, that the weather is pretty much perfect. March is suddenly like “What’s that? You don’t like me? You never have? How’s 75 degrees and sunny? Now do you like me?”. Well I’d say I like you a lot more thanks to this hair accessory challenge. And also thanks to egg sandwiches. I’ve been eating them every day in the last week and a half.

One last thing. Is it cool that in two of these days I’m not wearing make up? I actually try to take off at least one day a week from make up. Usually Saturday or Monday. So 3.5 and 3.10 are both makeupless.

I know I’m not even half way done, but I haven’t missed a day and I’m feeling confident that I’m going to complete this courageous challenge. I know what you’re all thinking and I’m thinking it too…this is the stuff that makes the world a better place.

Hairray!

I know this trend is so three years ago, but I didn’t have a hair blog then, so I’m writing about it now. Plus I still think it’s awesome.

Remember a few years ago when Louis Vuitton sent girls down the runway in huge glamorous bunny ears? It was such a daring and show stopping look. I have to admit, the whimsical, dress up loving girl in me adores it. I’ve always been a fairy tale lover, and huge bunny ears just so happen to align with that love perfectly.

To be honest, I don’t think accessorizing with animal ears is all that strange. I mean, if you think about it, what made wearing bows or flowers or feathers in our hair so normal? I would guess that a lot of people might stare if you are wearing bunny ears, but who decides what becomes normal (feathers, flowers, beads) and what is kept for just theme park going children?

I have a veiled pair similar to the second image. Would you wear bunny ears? For dress up, going out or even just to the supermarket for kicks?

For a subtler version, sometimes I tie my American Apparel scarf like pointy ears!

One of my favorite places to shop for hair accessories, is American Apparel. I only spend about two minutes in the clothes sections, and the rest of the time is hovering over their hair stuff. They have great hats, bows, headbands and clips. Their selection has gotten huge and my collection is growing along with it!

Here are a few of my favorites. I have all of these (but in different colors) and wear them all the time!

So the twist scarfs are awesome. There are a million ways you can wear them. They have wires in them, so you can twist them in all different ways. You can make them look like a little rose bud, like in the first picture, or you can twist them to give them a more *”turban” effect. I also like to wear mine with a little bit of a subtle off centered bunny ear look. It’s quite cute!
Seen here!

I also have the grey version of this wool floppy hat, which is the perfect sun hat for winter.

Anyway, I’m basically obsessed with the headwear section of American Apparel. Do you wear hair accessories?
Go here to shop!

*I’ve noticed that pretty much everything is considered a turban these days. This is just a scarf with a thick twisted look for a similar effect.
