Whether or not you’re going to San Francisco, try wearing a flower in your hair this spring for an unexpected pop of color.
It’s an inexpensive alternative to this season’s trendy floral prints if you’re looking to incorporate florals into your spring wardrobe — and why not, they’re feminine and fun.
Torrid.com has several lovely flower hair clips for just $9! Among others, I particularly like this yellow rose clip
and
this one in red.
For $35, you can get one of these stunning orchid hair clips from Karin’s Garden. While that may seem a little pricey for a hair clip, it’s a very reasonable price for an accessory that will add so much pizazz to so many outfits year after year.
All the clips featured ship internationally.

“Voluspa candles are the creme de la creme of candles,” says Heathervescent at Daily Mantra.
If you’d like to treat someone you love to a luxurious gift, but have just $20 to spend, candles are perfect.
Great candles are affordably luxurious as they smell beautiful, cast a gorgeous glow and last for months, as they’re fragrant enough to perfume a room in under an hour. Our pick: Voluspa’s 45 hr scented candle with ceramic pedestal for $16.

My favourite solution is to tie my hair back in a ponytail, add a cute headband like this White Ribbon Retro-Style Headband and go. It’s a polished look that takes under two minutes to style!
The headband is on eBay with a starting bid of $1.99 and 4 days to go. The advice, as always, is free!

There is exactly one place where my budget is regularly left in tatters — and it’s not the shoe store.
I confess, I have a hairdresser problem… but not with the cut, or the color, or the super-sleek blowdry. The only problem with my hairdresser is the bill.
