After my etsy ordered hair clips didn’t work out and after I realized that we’re about four weeks out from the wedding now, I embarked on round two of Operation Hair Accessory.

Mr. Hum and I searched through a number of stores in the core until I came across something I felt would work. And where did I find this mysterious and elusive item? Well much to my surprise, it was actually at Urban Outfitters. Recently a new three story one opened up in Toronto’s awesome Queen Street West District and in spite of my reluctance to look in, I ended up hitting pay dirt and finding something that I think will look pretty cool with my simple silhouetted dress.

Anyway, because I expected nothing when I walked in and saw they actually had a few decent options, I figured I would share my find with you hivers and show some of the cool stuff they have available.

A very simple double wire batik headband.

A botanically inspired carved leaf headband.

A supercute birdcage hair clip.

A crystal plumage hair clip.
(Lovely plumage! It makes me pine for the fjords!*)

A sweet little diamante barette.

Another cute plumage hair stick.

A sweet little butterfly bun holder.

A funky bohemian mesh hairband.

A sparkly layered headband.

A skinny peacock feathered headband.

A cute metallic widebraid band.

Although I had set out to find a hair flower and although I actually saw a number of them along Queen (there’s a little shop just past Spadina called Robo that has a bunch!), I ended up picking a feathered clip because of its great colour and its slightly unusual look. And as for Mr. Hum? Well . . .

After weeks and weeks of wedding work and wedding errands, I could tell he was kind of weddinged out, but the fact that he was so sweet and encouraged me to search and find the perfect thing, bearing through store after store with me, totally deserved celebration. So, when we saw this cute little guy (wait, should I be referring to Wolverine as cute or does that break some sort of code?), I knew he was coming home with us.

Anyway, I’m just really happy that my search is over and that I’m ready to go hair-wise, especially since I would not have expected to find the perfect thing amidst a display of ironic hipster t-shirts.

Did you find any of your accessories in an unlikely place? Where was it and what did you find?

*I’m sorry for that, but if I didn’t make a reference to Monty Python’s Dead Parrot Sketch, my father would disown me.
