Two for One

This is a fantastic idea for headbands. I have seen other sellers claim to have reversible styles, but they look like they are held together with Velcro. This designer has a flexible headband (not elastic...I don't do elastic) which can be twisted around to allow the wearer to use both fabrics. She offers simple, modern fabrics in great colors. Best part? They each cost $10! That's two headbands in one! Visit her Etsy site: http://www.etsy.com/shop/Precocious

Dress for Less

I found this shop on Etsy and fell in love with all her designs. They are simple but girly. And it's nice to be girly. The best part? All of these wonderful cotton dresses are under $50!

Elsa Peretti at Tiffany's

Five minutes on tiffany.com is all I need to rack up my wishlist. Elsa Peretti, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways.....Starfish necklace, Bean necklace, Color By the Yard necklace.....oh.....I feel every woman should own at least one piece from Tiffany. They really are a treasure.

However, our budgets don't always allow us to have the latest greatest from the greatest. Here I provide a few alternatives that are very budget friendly.

This is designer inspired jewelry on amazon: http://amzn.to/gMS4V1 The whole set is only $31.95! But if you look, I think there are better matching earrings.

This is based on her open heart design. These replicas actually contain diamonds for only $17.95.

I own this necklace and can't tell the difference. My bean is stamped with the Tiffany & Co, but looks just like this on one side. And I paid a lot more... http://amzn.to/hHDXoR

And lastly...This gorgeous little four-leaf clover for March. http://amzn.to/e9GMSR

A Purse Ahead of the Rest

One of the attributes I really look for in my accessories is originality. I want to own something no one else will be wearing. I love to go somewhere and ladies stop me to ask where it is I purchased something. 

When I noticed Vanessa Boulton's designs in our local SCAD store (you can visit them on shopscadonline.com) I knew I would be going home with one. From the cute little bird on her logo, to the wonderfully colorful fabrics she puts on the inside she is one of the most unique designers to date. 

This is part of her Special Edition Anniversary Collection. Keep in mind, each design is limited in quantity. This is Owl Mini Duffel in Navy Blue, also available in pink. 

Please visit her online, http://www.vanessaboulton.com  or her Facebook Page http://on.fb.me/i29jxE

See you next time!

A Headband I Can't Live Without

Hello, my name is Miki and I am addicted to accessories. So with that said, welcome to Accessory Addict! My drug of choice is headbands and hair clips. But I want to leave this open to discuss purses, shoes and jewelry, too.

If you own an accessory shop, make accessories or want to suggest an accessory please email me. I will be sure to get it posted.

To get started, I would like to introduce you to one of my favorite headbands.

Dazzling Silver Beaded Sparkling Eiffel Tower Headband Best Selling Original

This is the amazing Beaded Eiffel Tower Headband by Jill's Boutique. I bought this about three weeks ago and love it. I wore it to The Southern Women's Show here in Savannah and had women stopping me all day to ask where I bought it. Jill is great communicating with customers and shipping quickly. Visit her Etsy website to get your own: http://www.etsy.com/shop/JillsBoutique .

Thank you for stopping by and sharing in my addiction :)
