Nordstrom Stores
 
For high quality hair pieces that run the gamut from elegant and simple to bohemian and a little wild Nordstrom most likely has what you are looking for. 
 
For a bohemian look try the Animal Urban Turban head wrap, a leopard print modern turban for $38. 
 
Another wild child option is the Lucy Goosey ruched head wrap that is a cross between a turban and a very large headband. The Lucy Goosey wrap is in faded dark red and black and will cost you $28. 
 
For a slightly less in your face earthly look the Street Talker head wrap is two thin brown braids. 
 
These bohemian looks pair well with simple formal floor length looks or can be used with a more traditionally formal dress to give the wearer a slight edge. 
 
For those looking to go a bit more princess with their formal wear and head wear, Nordstrom has some really beautiful pieces that sparkle without looking like tiaras. 
 
The Crystal So Pretty head wrap is a few rows of small crystals that fasten in the back with elastic. This product comes in clear, blue, fuchsia and black and costs $42. 
 
The Circus head wrap is the perfect accessory for mermaid style formal wear. With larger irregular gems in a variety of colors this look is bold without being overwhelming. It comes in green, yellow, purple and black for $38. 
 
Etsy Shops
 
For a vintage look Ruby Pearls, a shop on Etsy, makes stunning feather hair pieces. Choose from all sorts of colors from yellow, brown and black to teal and black or lavender feathers with black tips. 
 
If you are seeking a hair piece that will really stand out there is a piece from Ruby Pearls that contains feathers in red, pink with black tips, teal with black tips and a peacock feather. 
 
If demure but dazzling is more your thing, go for the hair piece made with black feathers that have white polka dots and a peacock feather accent. There are even feather hair pieces from this shop that combine feathers with lace and satin flowers. 
 
If you are looking for slightly more subdued hair pieces that are still sure to dazzle E. Kammeyer Hair Accessories shop on Etsy is sure to have a piece that will work for you. This shop carries a dazzling fan style hair piece that looks lovely on the top of a low bun. The fan is made from bleached peacock feathers which gives it a muted, textural look. 
 
Also check out this shop for birdcage veils, sprightly clips made of black and white goose feathers and hand beaded Celtic knot headbands. 
 
For a slightly more colorful piece check out the purple, white and brown rooster feather headband. This band has lovely light feathers and is detailed with a military button for $45. 
 
There is also a lovely hair bow made out of brown leather for a grown-up, but sweet look.
