Playful Hair Accessories

I've been hating this indecisive California weather. The sun has run away and it's been a bit gloomy and foggy outside lately to to add just a little punch of color, I've been wearing bright, playful hair accessories!
I'm a bit of a bore when it comes to my clothes -especially during the colder months. My (fall/winter) color palette consists of mainly of black, gray, black, brown, black, white, and BLACK! I don't know why but I just have an obsession with black. My boyfriend likes when I wear "bright" colors but I just usually stick to neutral shades or shades that you'd find in nature (olives, browns, etc.)
Anyways, here's a peek at some of my more "playful" hair accessories:
I made the beaded white comb and it's my favorite (of the ones I've made) because I just love all the white. I really like the blue clips too (I got them on sale at Nordstrom years ago.)
I love the little plastic "kiddy" clips. I've never grown out of them..
The little clips with the fabric bows and flowers are one of my favorites. I picked them up at a flea market years ago.
When I was a kid, I used to love hair ties with the little plastic "balls" (LOL) -I got the 3 above from The GAP when I was like 8 years old. My friend gave me the "star" ones when I was in 5th or 6th grade!

How do you like to wear your hair and what are your favorite hair accessories lately?

P.S. It's my little sister's birthday -happy birthday Lauren! I forgot to take pictures of the cupcakes we made last night for her class. =\

  1. i really like that white clip you made :) especially with the silver and white 'pearl'. i love items like that. I used to have long hair and would do headband braids (like Lauren Conrad) or sloppy bun with some bobbypins. I just cut it last week (Victoria Beckham a-line bob) and it's really short :P Therefore, i will have to invest in some nice clips. Currently wearing headbands right now :) LOL

  3. @ Pamela.. I love headband braids! I wish I had the patience/skill to do them -mine always end up messy.

    Your hair sounds cute! And I like headbands too. They're great for a quick, easy fix.

    @ Anonymous.. I like headbands too! =)

  6. You made the white beaded comb by yourself wow it's so pretty, the plastic hair ties remind me of my childhood I used to have a large collection(2 full boxes)and my mother would comb my hair for school and everyday I went with a new one even my teachers asked me where I get these from because they were usually of different cartoon characters and were really cute

  8. @ Alvira.. That's so sweet of you -I really love talking to you too! We do have a lot in common and you're such a lovely person. =)

    That's really cool how you used to wear a different hair tie every day.. When I was younger, sometimes I'd stick as many clips as I could in my hair (I probably looked insane!) I don't really have any of my childhood toys (passed them on to my siblings or gave them away) and I REALLY wish that I had kept some of them.. That's really neat that you still have yours.
