Intricately Romantic
Try layering your barrettes over a braided updo — you'll feel like you walked out of a period drama, especially if you go with elegant pearls, like this Simone Rocha Floral Pearl Hair Clip, $115.

Delicate Bobby Pins
Sometimes all you need is some delicately embellished bobby pins — especially if they're from a top couturier. (And if you don't happen to have Dior money, we're loving these Sincerely Jules by Scunci Bobby Pins with Rainbow Stones, $7.99).

Symmetrical Pins
Go the Margot Tenenbaum route and pop some barrettes (like these mother of pearl-esque A New Day Hair Barrettes, $7.99) on either side of your center part.

Pearly Flip Clips
We've been loving flip clips lately and they work especially well to smooth and tame hair on either sides of a ponytail. The Perfection Pearl Flip Clip, $10, captures the look beautifully, without breaking the bank.
