Bargain Bows


Boutique Quality. Bargain Prices.

Ally Grady is owner of Miami-based Bargain Bows, an online fashion store for hair bows, headbands and other head gear. BargainBows.com is created by Ally and Tara, two loving parents with three beautiful little girls. Going to the mall to find cute hair accessories for their daughters is such a haste, they decide to start a way for parents and their daughters to have easy access to cute bows and anything else that you might need for cute birthday pictures, special occasions and everyday wear.

The Bowscription Box

From Paris Hilton to Kate Middleton –yes, new mom Kate- the floral crown hair style is the hottest trend hitting runways and must-be-seen events this summer.

And celebrity designer Michelle Madonna has created this phenomenon with her line of accessories, That Madonna GirlTMG for short.

The look is very romantic, free-spirited and appropriate for “flower children” of all ages.

Available in a variety of sizes, colors and patterns and sporting a TMG-beaded trademark, each halo style is inspired by and named for one of her friends.

Michelle plans a more earth-toned halo color story for the fall, and will also introduce a line of bracelets, too.
