Hair Accessories to Freshen up Your Style

With spring fast approaching, and fashion week behind us it’s time to take all of the different hairstyles and accessories and put them to use on our own heads. 

Flowers have been in and out of style over the last 5 years, this spring it’s all about placement. With the big hair that is popular right now, a large flower is a fun spring accessory to put a pop of color in your hair. You need to make sure that the flower is placed right so it doesn’t look childish. A good rule of thumb is to keep it either below your eye, towards the front of your face, or if your hair is pulled back, below the ear towards the back. They add a touch of femininity to any look and can be paired with a simple pair of capris, a tee and flats for spring day or add a sparkly flower with a LBD (Little Black Dress) for a night out! I love this look from the Marc Jacobs Spring 2011 Ready-to-Wear (not to mention that adorable 70’s inspired dress!) 

This is an adorable look that was seen at the Chanel runway show, this clip is the perfect way to dress up a bun. High buns are popping up all over the fashion scene, so this is a nice break from that and I adore that pearl accessory.

We are taking another tip from the 70’s- barrettes are back! Yes, those straight barrettes that the fashion and beauty world avoided for so many years. They can be placed at the nape of your neck for an easy alternative to the ponytail, as seen in Prada Fall ’11 show. Use multiple clips to create a funky updo seen in Carolina Herrera’s Spring ’11 show. But don’t overdo it, you don’t want to look like this model from Alexander McQueen’s Fall ’11 show. 
So be daring and try a new accessory for spring!
