Kasey's Korner: Five Places To Buy Cute and Classy Hair Accessories

Find out where you can get items in your neck of the woods

Wearing your hair in the same old boring style day after day can start to feel like a drag. 

One way to breathe new life into your ‘do is by adding a stylish accessory.  We’ve seen celebrities sporting this trend from the red carpet to the grocery store, and even more outrageous versions have been showcased on the runway this season.  A simple headband adorned with beads or feathers is a great way to make an outfit more interesting and draw attention to your face (plus it’s a secret weapon for hiding grown-out bangs or unwashed hair). A simple barrette topped with a bright, colorful flower is the perfect addition to a low bun or loose updo. 

Check out these Carrollwood hotspots for the latest selection in this hair-raising trend:
