hair jewelry

When I was younger, the thing I was most proud about–besides my rock collection (yes) and spy notebook (again, yes)–was my scrunchie stockpile. I was all about the hair accessories growing up, and I’m re-discovering how fun they can be yet again.

Right now, I’m all about pretty, sparkly hair jewelry. I love the idea of turning a broach, or even a necklace, into an accent for your mane. I mean, come on–how pretty are those little stars, above? This trend has been popping up all over the runway (and celebs–that’s Jennifer Lawrence you see, middle right) and I think it’s the perfect special touch for the holiday season coming up.

I’m totally into the idea of DIY-ing a few pieces, but here are some pretties I found online. I don’t know about you, but I think this is a suitable replacement for my velour neon scrunchies. Maybe.

      I looooveee number 7. I totally want to get it!

  • http://www.eisforemilyblog.com Emily

    I would like all of those, please. I love the idea of hair accessories! Especially #2! and I am completely guilty of having a scrunchie stockpile. And those colorful plastic barrettes with animals on them. As well as spy notebook, believe it or not.

      Omg. I think we might have been childhood soul mates

    I am DROOLING over those studded headbands! They are amazing. I’m obsessed with anything studded, and the juxtaposition of a girly headband and a badass stud is just to amazing to pass up. Can I request a DIY of that amazing studded hair tie that’s on your inspiration board? I’d wear the hell out of that!

    • alongobucco

      I totally agree, Maria! I love a good stud, especially when it’s paired with girlier pieces. And you might just have a DIY coming your way :)

    Love #4 and #6! This is such a cute way to add some interest to your ponytail or updo. I was totally a hair accessory fanatic as a kid too – I can’t tell you how many beaded and sparkly scrunchies I owned.

      My mom used to make me scrunchies, I loved it so much. I hope they’re still around for my kids!

    Accessorizing your hair is a must! Great options here. I was also into spying as a little girl after Harriet the Spy came out! ALSO, it is now on Netflix!

      I SAW THAT! Seriously, I was obsessed with Harriet the Spy when I was younger. I had the whole “spy kit”, a yellow trench and a zillion notebooks. I doubt it’s a coincidence that I became a writer haha

  • http://jennacwest.wordpress.com jennacwest

    These are all so cute! My favorites are #4, 5 and 6. I constantly have my hair down and rarely add anything to change it up, but these may help be from being so boring! hahaa

    • alongobucco

      See, I constantly have my hair up, which might be even more boring! I like how these can work for either style.

  • Giovanna

    I’m obsessed with hair pieces as well! Loving the big hair clips!

      Thank you so much, Rebecca! These pieces definitely add such a special touch..you don’t even have to go through the trouble of doing an up-do!

    These are all so pretty, I don’t know how to choose! This seems like the best way to add a little sparkle in a seemingly unlikely place.

      I couldn’t choose either! You should have seen my desktop when pulling this post together. So many pretty options!
