Cute Hair Accessories

I know you've probably all seen the multitude of hairpins on Etsy, but I wanted to show you some of my favorites. My hair is growing out from my short cut in the fall and its at that awkward length where things are hard to do (not that I do things to it anyways...) But I have been wanting some cute hair pins lately so I can least try to do things with it :)

Clearly I am smitten with flowers and the color yellow, they make me happy but there are plenty of other designs on Etsy if yellow and flowers aren't your thing. I'm sure you'll find something you love! Do you wear hairpins? Do you have short or medium length hair that is hard to do things with? I'd love some inspiration from others about fun summery ways I can dress up my hair!

Flashback Friday - Fresh Haircut

Another week of Flashback Fridays! In case you don't know, Tia over at ChristopherandTia hosts a flashback Friday post everyday. The basic idea is that you dig up an old picture and talk about it, tell its story or explain what's going on, or whatever the photo brings to mind :)

My picture this week was taken after a much needed fresh haircut. You know that feeling when you have gone months (yes, I go months, I know its not right, I know I shouldn't, but I do) without a proper haircut and then you go sit in a chair with someone else massaging the shampoo and conditioner in, you kind of zone out with the relaxation and then he or she makes you pretty before you even realize whats happening and all of a sudden, your brand new again!

Well...yea, that's what this picture was. My hair was soft, silky, and split-end-less and I felt pretty. The orange sweater was knit by my momma and given to me (I love wearing it, I get so many compliments!) and I think the color really helped to bring out the shiny in the hair.

My hair is currently growing out after a short haircut (shown below, not a flashback, unless you think December is far enough back...) and its at one of those awkward lengths where you don't really know what to do with it and it looks weird all the time. Soon though, I'll be able to swish it around my shoulders and not look like a twelve year old boy :)

I like it when its short, like above, but now its about 3 inches longer than it was and it just looks odd. Those of you who experiment with hairstyles and lengths can relate I'm sure.
