You know you’ve earned your title as a true-blue connoisseur of all
things fine and fancy when you start truly dressing up your hair. And
no, I don’t mean styling it into something other than your go-to
ponytail. We’re talking about paying as much attention to what you wear
in your hair as you do to your outfit when you’re heading out. We all
have- and are entitled to- our laidback days but when you want to make
heads turn, a flat-out-fabulous hair accessory is your best friend.

A lot of my clients and readers bemoan the fact that putting
together a drool-worthy hairstyle at home is sometimes impossible:
whether it’s the lack of time or skill holding you back, not having a
stylist on-call or available shouldn’t keep you from looking fabulous.
That’s where hair accessories swoop in and save the day.
With the least amount of effort involved, you can look your very best in a matter of minutes. What's not to love?
Here
is my list of some of the best hair accessories to invest in. They cost
a pretty penny, but for the use you can get out of them and the
powerful thrill of knowing you look stunning, I say they’re worth every
cent!
There is a lot to be said for DIY hair accessories, but when
it comes to living the luxe life, nothing says “covet now!” like these
babies.
#1 Miu Miu Palladium-Plated, Faux Pearl And Swarovski Crystal Headband
For those of you who like to keep your looks delicate, with a hint of the ballerina to them, this faux pearl and Swarovski crystal-embellished hairband is pure, pristine perfection.
The mix of faux pearls and differently shaded
Swarovski crystals gives the headband enough edge, while still keeping
things classy. It’s the sort of bling that is never out of place,
whether you wear it to the office or to the Christmas party afterwards.
Styling options include wearing it in loose, straight hair or as an
accent to a chignon or updo or even to spice up your everyday ponytail.

#2 Valentino Embellished Textured-Leather Headband
Want
to make an edgier statement with your hair accessory? Try this
to-do-for rocker-chic leather headband from Valentino. The golden
embossed coins set against the textured base add an extra punch. The
best part about this piece? You can wear it in the simplest hairstyles- a
low bun, a ponytail, regular loose hair- and still look decked up. Pair
this up with a jeans-and-leather-jacket combo for that biker chic vibe
or a dress for an interesting mash up of contrasting elements. Thick headbands are all the rage right now.
#3 Maison Michel Khloe Gold-Tone Hair Slide
For
a more elaborate hair statement, I absolutely love this burnished gold
hair slide. It’s got that brassy gold finish that instantly transforms
any look and adds that quintessential Grecian touch. You definitely want
this showstopper to get the attention it deserves, so I’d recommend a
half-up-half-down hairdo. Let the ‘up’ portion act as a base for the
slide, while the loose section can be used to nestle and offset it. You
could even try a super-sleek rolled bun and pin the slide into it.

#4 Yunotme Fork Silk-Satin Headband
Nothing
says “retro glam” quite like a red hair tie-style headband. And when
it’s made of silk, well then, we’re talking of a whole other level of
hair glory. Wear this stunner in sleek, straight, loose hair for that
Blair Waldorf vibe. Pair it up with a bouffant/ beehive if you want to
channel your inner Bardot.
Hair
accessories are a godsend when you want to take your style to new
heights but you don’t have a whole lot of experience with styling
elaborate hairdos yourself- or don’t have time for a salon visit. And
even if you do, why not take things further and really shine? A polished
hair accessory sends out the message that you take pride in your
personal style and are willing to go the extra mile to look your very
best. These hair accessories are perfect for setting that holiday
spirit, celebrating a special occasion- and they make for the best
presents!
