I’ve been coached to describe my middle daughter as “spirited.” Among a million other things, she makes me laugh. Her recent obsession with fairies has inspired all sorts of hairstyles including a “hanging bun” (meaning, “a ponytail.”) And while she has the sweetest little face in the world, poor child has hockey hair, so we compensate with a lot of pretty hair accessories. And since any barrette connoisseur knows that they can be $16 a pop, I choose my clips wisely. These little pompoms, found at my new favorite shop, BabybubbleNYC will easily dress up her business in the front.
