It’s been more than a year since we witnessed the emergence of the perfect hair accessory at Céline runway show of SS 2015. The thought of finding something similar one day has been stuck in the back of my mind since. I finally found what I have long coveted – the Céline hair clip look-a-like, for a fraction of a price. Even though the title says DIY Céline hairclip, I actually got this quirky hair barrette at a local hardware store – where else? I was browsing the paint section actually, when my eye wandered towards the shiny little hardware objects, as per usual. I immediately grabbed this baby and even though its original purpose has to do something with motors – I don’t doubt its capability of serving the purpose of a beautiful, statement, industrial-looking hair accessory. It’s just the right thing to elevate your everyday hair look and spice up a casual outfit, without being too attention-grabbing. Alternatively, I find the look of the clip placed on the strap of a clutch or an over the shoulder bag most interesting, which is how I will most likely wear it this spring.

There you go – DIY Céline hairclip made simple and easy, just how I like it! If you were also on a hunt for something similar, hit up your local hardware store or shop some affordable look-a-likes below!
