Something about spring makes us feel more playful when getting ready in the morning, throwing our essentials into a pastel-hued purse, donning a sweet sundress and tucking fresh flowers behind our ear. Okay, maybe we aren’t actually picking daisies for our ’dos, but we like the idea of giving our tresses a little extra springtime zhush. A more pragmatic approach to this season’s whimsy is a smattering of embellished bobby pins tucked into a low chignon or ponytail for an added girly touch.

The Inspiration

Cue Led Zeppelin: "Someone told me there's a girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair."
