My New Favorite

Just curious...who's seen these?

They are ribbon hair ties, if you don't already know. Back during our girl's trip this fall, all of the girls either had these, or were buying them when we were out shopping in Homewood at a little boutique. I thought it was ridiculous to spend $12 on 5 hair ties. I didn't understand what all the buzz was about. Well, they all let me know that these do not pull your hair (no breakage) and they don't leave a crease after wearing a ponytail! So I made way back to Homewood and spent $12 on 5 hair ties. Hadley was very disappointed that I got the neutral colors. Sorry sister...mama is frugal and practical. Well yesterday, my sweet friend Kayce bought me the jewel tone set, and guess what she told me?! You can get a set of 8 for $8 at Sephora! This is the best price that I have seen to buy locally. Some places here in Birmingham are selling them for $5 a piece!!! Highway robbery if you ask me. Anthropologie also sells them, and if you want to get fun with prints or initials, Etsy has a great selection and good prices. Anyway, I adore these things. They make my boring little ponytail look deliberate. It also fits around my ponytail 3 times, which is unusual and important! And if you are wearing it on your wrist (as I do often with ponytail holders), it doesn't look ugly. It's downright cute. Oh, and a certain 5 year old is wearing one of my pink ones today!

So I know these are huge in Birmingham. For all of my readers in other places (both of them), has this little trend reached your neck of the woods?
