Your daily dose of pretty: Giant Rosie Hair Bone Clip by Rosie Squish

16 Year Old Daughter and I went to the Very Vintage Day Out today. We even dressed the part, in fishnet tights and high heels and pencil skirts. On an unrelated note my feet hurt. But that's beside the point - it was a fabulous day of watching burlesque dancers and rockabilly singers, and browsing clothes and jewellery and trying very hard not to Buy All the Stuff. At which it has to be said we failed.

16 Year Old Daughter came home with one of these in purple:

Seriously, how awesome are those hair bones? I'm tempted to order a couple of the mini ones for myself!

The Giant Hair Bones are NZ$20 and the Mini Hair Bones are NZ$8 for two from Rosie Squish.

There were so many tempting pretties at the Very Vintage Day Out that there are several more blog posts' worth to share with you over the next few days!

Your daily dose of pretty: Two Tone Rose Alice Band from Beadesaurus

I just love these Alice bands:

I love the bold contrast of colours and the geometric structure of the rose. I really want to buy one, but I can't wear Alice bands because they make my head hurt. I think they must squeeze my brain or something.

The Two Tone Rose Alice Band is £10.00 from Beadesaurus (who ship internationally).

Your daily dose of pretty: Serenade Bird Hair Slides by Eclectic Eccentric

How cute and whimsical are these hair slides?

They would be so awesome perched in my hair. And then I could be all "hey little birdie you're really cute and I like your top hat but please don't poop in my hair", and he'd be like "ma'am I'm a plastic bird, I can't poop" and I'd be like "holy s**t I've really got to start having more than a bag of jellybeans and a cup of coffee for breakfast because I totally just hallucinated that that bird in my hair talked to me!". Or something.

The Serenade Bird Hair Slides are £8.50 from Eclectic Eccentric.

Disclaimer: Product does not actually talk. Probably.
Also: Pretty Clever does not in any way recommend jellybeans and coffee as a complete breakfast. Unless you put them on top of your cereal.

Your daily dose of pretty: Bows for your hair

Am I too old to wear pretty bows in my hair? I hope not, because I really want to wear this one:

Available for US$12.00 on Etsy from New Zealand company Hunter Gatherer, whose products have the coolest names. This bow, for instance, is called i am the start of a green spring.

I've decided I'm not too old for hair bows. Most definitely!

Your daily dose of pretty: look out there's a spider in your hair!

Today's pretty is another that should come with a warning for the arachnophobic. Sorry guys, I know some of you don't consider anything with spiders on it to be pretty, but I really do love them. But hey, look on the bright side - if you're a slug-phobic like me you'll never have to worry about seeing them on here. Not ever. Ever ever ever. *shudder* Also, The Slug That Ate Manhatten was on our bedroom deck last night. I kid you not it was HUGE. Our rabbit lives out there, and I was genuinely scared that I was going to go out there this morning and find the damn slug had eaten it, it was that big!

I've been buying a lot of hair accessories lately. I think it's because the bob I'm currently sporting (which is quite frankly the Best Haircut Ever) means I can't put my hair up, and sometimes I just want to get it off my face. I think I need these hair clips:

I wouldn't, however, wear these to my best friend's (who is also the Best Hairdresser Ever) house - she's terrified of spiders and also pregnant so I don't really want to freak her out. Also, yay for pregnant friends!

The Kreepsville Spider Hair Bow Clip is US$16.00 from PinUp Girl Clothing.
