7 Rockin' Hair Accessories for Summer 2014 ...

1. Large Silk Flowers

Sure, you’ve probably worn a small silk flower over your ear or in a ponytail before, but one of the hottest hair accessories for summer is a huge flower. Don’t worry – if you have a peek at the runway looks, you’ll see how easy it is to pull it off. The trick is to choose a flower that matches your outfit and go easy on other accessories. Pull your hair into a side bun and decorate it with a large silk flower. Add a sundress and sandals to your look and you’ll be ready for anything summer brings your way.

2. 1920s Style Hair Band

I have spent a good portion of my life wearing a headband, but always pushed back on the crown of my head and usually to hold back my bangs as I grow them out. For summer 2014, check out the 1920s style headbands that are all over the runway. Choose a thin but embellished headband and wear it around your forehead, rather than pushing it up and back. You can wear this with virtually anything, so stock up on your favorites.

3. A Simple Ribbon

Ribbon is super affordable and comes in so many colors and patterns, so you can totally rock this trend without going broke. Tie a ribbon around your head like a headband, adjusting the bow under a bun or ponytail. Or, tie a small ribbon around the end of your braid. This is a super easy way to jazz up your look without a ton of time or effort.

4. Beaded Barrette or Clip

Nothing says fancy like a glittering hair accessory. The options you’ll see on the runway this summer aren’t gaudy or over the top. They are sweet, sparkly little accessories that you can add to a bun or twist with ease. They’ll make your look a bit fancy for a night out or a summer morning brunch.

5. Bows

There’s nothing little girly about this summer’s bows. Whether you pair a large bow and a messy updo or you clip a small bow and leave your hair down and flowing, you’ll look like the models on the runways. You can easily find bows in a huge variety of patterns and colors, so you can effortlessly blend them with all your favorite outfits.

6. Lace

Lace is super girly and easy to mix and match with a ton of other patterns, colors and textures. For a simple look, use a length of lace as a headband. If you want something a bit fancier, try mixing lace with the silk flowers or beaded accessories I mentioned above. You can’t go wrong when you add a touch of lace to your look.

7. Pins

I don’t think hairpins will ever go out of style. The trends on summer runways are no exception. Use a couple of sparkling hair pins to glam up a dress and heels for a dinner out or add them to your updo for the office. Use a couple or just one – no matter what you do, it’ll look great!

What’s your favorite summer hairdo? Do you love the accessories I’ve mentioned? I’m a quick hairstyle kind of girl so I love that all of these accessories can be combined with my favorite styles without taking tons of time to achieve the look.
