The skull's the limit

The skull's the limit
Just when we think we're over the skull trend, something cute comes along and makes us go aw okay -- just one more. And right in time, because skulls are coming back to kidswear with a vengeance this fall from what we've seen.

In this case it's the skull barrettes from Natty Bratty, which pair little felt heads of dead people (right?) with, of all things, tartan plaid. The brown one is so cute I wouldn't be surprised if Burberry themselves end up doing something similar.

The felt blossom hair clips are sweet but definitely on the larger side if you're accessory shopping for a toddler. I like the clean color combos and the fact that the shiny bits are kept to a minimum. The way I see it, our girls don't really need to sparkle any more than they already do. -Liz

Congratulations to Shawn R, lucky winner of the goodie bag of hair clips from Natty Bratty!
