10 Grown Up Hair Pins and Barrettes You Need For Fall

The plastic hair clips we haphazardly pinned into our hair for elementary school photos have officially gotten a high fashion upgrade. Behind the scenes at NYFW, we came across gold hair clips and diamond encrusted barrettes that made our 9 year old self rejoice! Designers have leveled up amazing variations of the SS17 trend, but you’ll have to wait until next spring to get your strands on them. Until then, we’ve scoured the Internet for grown up bling you can rock on your head right now.
