Starry-Eyed
We can always count on Forever 21 for keeping us on top of the latest trends, like polished hair accessories in silver, gold, and any other shiny metal. This etched star headband looks way more expensive than its $5 price tag, and is reminiscent of starry versions by accessory masters like Jennifer Behr, Lulu Frost, and luxury accessories boutique Dauphines of New York. *Adds to cart.*
