Bobby pins don’t have to be boring. This summer try them in gold, and seek them out in different sizes and shapes to be sprinkled randomly into your messy, beach waves:

The thing about golden barrettes is that they look impossibly chic at all times, that’s why clipping them to an undone up-do is the smart way to infuse the style with subtle polish:

Hair rings are still trending, sill looking to add a little bit of edge to the best of summer hairstyles. Use them to dress up skinny and corn braids alike, or to achieve the ultimate rocker-chick-meets-boho-babe look:

If you love your ballerina bun for the summer but would like to spice it up just a notch, dare add a personality to it using hair chain jewellery pieces, or even your favorite necklaces:

Speaking of necklaces and hair jewels, think in terms of rubies and pearls next time you’ll want to bling out a perfectly chic bun. Go for two, or more layered pieces for the full effect:

A messy, voluminous, low ponytail goes from basic option to summer statement when styled with something as simple as a leather tassel hair accessory:

Top-knots that are slightly messy, loose strands that are slightly frizzy, they all beg for a single hair accessory to set them apart, something as pretty as a Thunderbird bun pin:

Summer braids and golden accents, it rarely gets better than this, all the more when the hair accessories are subtle, look vintage and manage to replicate nature’s pretty foliage:

Sleek, side-parted strands call for something extra during summer, something like a black barrette to break the silhouette without going around the whole perimeter of the hair:

For special occasions, or days that implore for a whisper of romance, dare add a tiny bit of contrast to a deconstructed ponytail with flower pins or luxe brooches:

Seeing how flowers are never far from mind during summer, do pick them up fresh and pin them into your braided locks, trusting that they’ll never cease to make for the most beautiful, whimsical accessories:
