Clip Art

How cute are these vintage 50s hair clips? I found them irresistible, and bought them a little while ago from Rosebud Vintage Bazaar.

There are two different bows, and a branch of leaves – I think the latter are my favourite – and the two pastels are nicely offset by the tomato red bow. I like them worn all at the same time, although I’ve had my hair cut since I took this photo, so I shall have to wait a month or two before I can sport them again. Incidentally, the pink bow exactly matches the screw-back button earrings that also came from the Bazaar.

You can find some great accessories today of course, but there’s something about vintage: they just don’t make them like they used to. Also, one can rest assured that one is unlikely to bump into someone else wearing the same thing!

(Here’s a 3-second clip—ha—I made on the day just for fun.)
